So glad we booked a private driver!

We are so glad we booked a private driver for the Great Wall. Kevin did an amazing job getting us to the right location to start our walk (not an easy task on a very busy Monday). He shared interesting facts about the wall, scheduled a last minute cable car ride down for us, and made reservations for a fabulous Peking duck meal upon our return to Beijing. We would happily work with Kevin again.

A great trip to the Great Wall.

We had a great day trip to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. James was very friendly and informative and gave us good tips about our trip. The section of wall at Mutianyu is very good - lots of variety of elevation and very scenic. You can only walk East to the Dajiaolou watchtower - beyond this it is overgrown and unrestored. The view back from there is worth the climb. Don’t queue for the toboggan ride if it rains heavily - there was a short heavy shower and we wasted 1.5 hours queuing only to find out they had closed it due to rainwater on the track. We took the cable car back down in the end. We had a nice lunch with James and he showed us a good shopping centre on the way back to our hotel. Thank you James for a great day out.

Amazing

We're very happy about that amazing day with James! He gave us all the information we needed, taught us about his culture, helped us with the tickets and all the way to the cable car and we asked him to stop to buy some fruits which he kindly did. He was very thoughtful, really excellent!
