This was a once in a lifetime experience! Dong Xuefei was so friendly and helpful, he knew all of the best spots to get pictures and provided some great snacks along the way! We did a 12:30 departure, with Jinshanling in the afternoon and Simitai / Gubei water town in the evening, which we would definitely recommend. The scenery in Jinshanling is breath taking and the lights in Gubei Water Town at night are magical. 5 stars!!
Gao Dapeng, our driver, was wonderful. He was extremely professional, friendly, and considerate from start to finish. Even though he only spoke Chinese, he provided us with a translation device that made communication smooth and stress-free. Thanks to this, he was still able to share fascinating information about the history and culture of China, and he gave us very practical advice on how to explore the Great Wall more efficiently and enjoyably. His suggestions truly elevated our overall experience. He also prepared bottles of water and snacks for us, which was a thoughtful touch and made the journey even more comfortable. We felt well taken care of the entire time. We highly recommend Mr. Gao to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive driver, and we look forward to booking another trip with him in the future.
Zhao Zhongyue was our driver and everything worked out well. The ride was good and punctual. The van, too. The driver organized everything well for us.
The view was superb and Sun made the trip very pleasant: punctual, good communication with the translator, and very friendly! He even helped me take some pictures because I was alone. I recommend!
Jinshanling is likely the most beautiful of the accessible sections of the wall. It is well worth the longer drive, to experience the Wall in peace, without the risk of getting your eye poked out by another tourists selfie-stick. The section of the Wall contains restored and unrestored parts, nestled in a lush, green national park. On our extensive walk (you can walk for miles) we only met a handful of other people. This section contains features not seen at other sections of the wall, such as hollow living towers and defensive walls on top of the wall. Despite the solitude the facilities are well appointed. There’s also a cable car going up to a section of the wall, but we chose the sloping ascent to a different part. Our guide Huang is a veritable fountain of information about the Great Wall. We learned a lot about the history and construction methods of the Great Wall! He even brought maps and photographs of other sections! He is also a very talented photographer! Our driver was very competent as well. All in all, I highly recommend this excursion!
Really nice experience. This section of the wall is very beatiful landscape. Here are very less people, you can make nice photos here. Our driver Zhang Zhidong was very handsome and gave us good advices for the trip. We were picked up directly at our hotel and drove in a car with a large space. We had a free tour guide, who shown and explain us a lot of the Great Wall.
Driver Chen Qinhe was amazing very helpful and accommodating throughout. Highly recommend him I'd booked last minute but they came through
We got what we paid for and a little bit of more like a frigde magnet. Sun was a good driver. Öööööö
Absolutely amazing service, very comfortable car!!!! Like it very much, thank you a lot, btw the price is low in comparison. Thanks to dear Wanghui!
Great driver, super safe , friendly and professional. I just wanted to explore Jinshanling part of the Great Wall on my own . This was a perfect tour for me . The driver is there to pick you up , take you to the Great Wall and take you back to your hotel when you are done . Super reliable . This is the beautiful part of the Great Wall, not crowded at all , kind of challenging at times ( steep steps), but totally worth it , simply breathtaking.
