Breathtaking views while walking along a not particularly challenging route - We were a group of 8, pick up punctual to my hotel and then about 3 hours in mini van to reach the great wall. Walk independently of about 6km, not particularly challenging and in any case with plenty of time to do it with extreme calm, stopping to take pictures and admire the breathtaking landscape. The driver picked us up at the next exit and drove us back to the hotel. Tour made on Saturday, the Great Wall was not as deserted as I thought.

Wonderful. - We loved it. We were a group of 8 people in a van, 21⁄2 hours on the way out and 3 hours back. The guide (Jackie) super friendly and spoke English perfectly. The Wall area... without words. One section is rehabilitated and the other is completely unspoilt as the government has not yet undertaken rehabilitation work on it. We were practically alone. The only catch is that 6 km we got short! They leave you 4 hours to complete it (it gives plenty of time) and we would have liked to stay more because it is something amazing.

Reliable tour for solo female travellers - Jinshanling is definitely the best place to see the Great Wall. I booked the tour just for myself last week and wanted to make sure beforehand I’d be going with other travelers too. Viator provided excellent support and answered all my questions. After I booked the tour, Zachary created a direct communication chat for further questions on wechat. I also got beforehand the telephone number and name of our driver, who made sure I got all the information I needed. A super reliable tour!

Recommended - The Jinshanling in the afternoon is the best option. Without knowing about it we had good shots without many people. In it you will find stops to refresh and continue and at the end of the tour there are very colorful events at night. Zachary was Always replying by WhatsApp and asking if it Everything was fine.

fast and practical to get to this part of the wall, not at all crowded - despite the not low price is a quick and easy way to reach this part of the wall, which is far from Beijing and difficult to reach in other ways (didi can be used on the way out, at a high price anyway, but for the return is a problem because in jingshanling there is absolutely nothing). highly recommended because tourists are very few, almost always we were alone and enjoyed it!

Zack: The Great Wall’s Secret Weapon - Zack and his friend as our guides were A+. These guys didn’t just drive us... they worked the magic. Zack took us to the "hard" part of the Wall where the views are insane... no people!.. and he made the whole day smooth. At one point, seeing a Chinese police checkpoint ahead, he literally hopped out, grabbed our passports, and handled it in advance — saving us about 10 minutes of waiting in traffic. Total pro move.
