A great day at the Great Wall

Michael, our guide to two Great Wall locations, was friendly and knowledgeable. (And he spoke perfect English btw.) His views on historic and cultural conditions which drove the creation of the wall was helpful and he was genuinely curious about us and our own story. He made great recommendations for food options and made sure our young daughter was part of the conversation. Both he and our driver made the travel to and from the Wall pleasant. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a Great Wall visit close to Beijing.

Hike the wall to see it all

Guo picked me up from the airport and took me to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. I chose to hike up the steep path instead of taking the cable car—Guo hiked it with me! The views were incredible, and he was an amazing, fun host. Afterward, he dropped me off at my hotel in Beijing. Highly recommend Mutianyu with Guo!
