Great experience, less crowded and you must be physically in good condition. The wall is perfectly kept, it's the best of the lot. Choose your distance wisely and look for exit points if you feel your body can't go all the way. A wonderful day experience. The information on how to navigate was very scarce need improving, but its better than the other companies that offer lunch and water only to find that its all a lie and treat people like kids.
