Thank you both so much for an unforgettable day. You made me feel so safe on the Wall and so 'blessed' to have met you Diana and John. Thank you for carrying my bag, taking those great photos, and being so patient while I navigated those slippery steps! I really enjoyed our lunch together. You aren't just my guide and driver—you are my Beijing family! ❤️
I was expecting an English speaking tour guide that would explain the history of the wall. Unfortunately he was unable to do the climb due to an injury. He sent a co-worker but unfortunately she didn’t speak much English.
I had a great time at the Great Wall and my guide was very helpful with tips about the city, highly recommend!
Friendly and very historical knowledgeable guide. Helpful on the whole trip with tickets, cable car, shuttle buses, photos and the story of the wall. Due to the weather we did not quite reach the available top. Was subsequently guided to local restaurant with good local food with fresh fish. Generally a super guided tour of the wall.
Very kind, helpful, patient and responsible guide. Highly recommended! Thanks for the food recommendations, esp driving me to try out the tasty local BBQ fish.
The journey from the hotel to the Great Wall was smooth, taking about two hours, with occasional traffic jams. As we passed through the villages, our guide, Wayne, shared histories of the different villages and the lives of the people there. I was thrilled to reach the highest point, approximately 700 meters high, which certainly fulfilled a lifelong dream. I'm grateful to the guide for his arrangements, which allowed me to fully experience the local culture. Thank you. I'll definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
The Great Wall of China has been on my bucket list. As a mountain climbing enthusiast, I had originally planned to hike the Jinshanling Great Wall, but it's been raining in Beijing lately, so I opted for a private tour. The guide was very thoughtful, providing water and an umbrella, and sharing a lot of history and information about the Great Wall along the way. We're both hikers, so we shared a lot of climbing experiences. Wayne's highest climb is 5,025 meters, while I climbed Kilimanjaro. He took care of me throughout the entire Great Wall climb. I highly recommend this itinerary and guide, and I'm so grateful. What a blessing to meet you again!
Wayne made my brief solo visit to Beijing absolutely amazing! He picked me up from the airport and brought me back safely, taking all the stress out of my layover. He speaks excellent English, is thoughtful, supportive, and completely adapted the tour to my pace and timing. We visited the Great Wall with ease , no waiting in lines and everything was perfectly organized. A major highlight was the authentic local restaurant with top-quality Chinese food (very fresh and tasty), and the visit to a traditional tea house where I enjoyed a full tea class. It was the perfect cultural touch that made the experience complete. His car was super comfortable, and the whole tour felt smooth, relaxed, and personalized. For the quality of the experience, it was incredible value. I highly recommend Wayne. I’ll definitely be back!
Great experience in itself to go see the Great Wall but the amount of great care in the tour is amazing made going to the wall one of the greatest experiences ever. Super friendly tour guide which is key to having the best experience.
Wayne gave me a private tour of the Great Wall. 100% recommend. Beautiful views and stunning photos taken from the top of tower 20
