Hiking to the Great Wall of Jiankou - A wonderful experience.
Benny picked us up from the hotel on time, drove us to the starting point, had breakfast before going up to a local place and we left. He explained the history of the Wall and accompanied us along the way from Jiankou, part unrenovated, in fact you do not pay an entrance fee, very wild and inaccessible, for people experienced in trekking. Very nice route, beautiful views and for lovers of fatigue even the stretches where you have to climb are suggestive and fun.
Once down we had lunch in a restaurant at base camp, very good and very cheap, and we left for Beijing. Experience recommended for professionalism, timing and availability.
Thank you so much Benny!!

Adventure in Jiankou Great Walls!!! - It was a beautiful day and Benny's driving was smooth and comfortable.
We reached Jiankou in good time.
Benny knew the way so we managed to climb some of the most scenic stations. The views were magnificent with steep walls and green mountains.
I was the weakest in my group with two other fit friends. Benny was patient and waited for me.
Coming down the mountain was so much harder! I fell a few times so Benny took care of me by helping me most of the way down.
Overall, despite the fatigue and physical challenge, I finished the climb.
I am really happy to recommend Benny as the driver guide for Beijing!!

Jiankou and mutianyu - If I could give Benny 10 stars I would. Benny was very responsive and good with his communication (English and Chinese) from booking to the tour. He gave insights throughout the tour and made our trip very smooth.
Benny knows and loves the Great Wall a lot so he was able to recommend an alternative route and was very accomodating. Jiankou is a must see - possibly one of the most beautiful places and wonders of the world. So untouched and out of this world views.
Benny is one of the best guides and drivers and photographers I have met! Will be recommending this to anyone who visits Beijing
I hiked the Mutianyu section with my nearly 70 yo father and Benny guided us the whole way
Thank you Benny for making our trip amazing I will remember forever

Very good experience. Recommended. - The experience with them was perfect. They adapted to the schedule I proposed. Communication was very easy and fast, so I didn't have any problems. They picked me up early, at 6 and I was able to return at a good time for my next flight. I loved the wall and I highly recommend the experience with them. They also offered me a good price, since I am traveling alone.
