Had an amazing experience seeing the Great Wall. Our tour guide, Peter, made the whole journey so much more wonderful. Amazing guide, host, and a wonderful person.
A highly recommended private tour of the Great Wall of China. Joe our driver was friendly knowledgeable and fun to be with. Jenny was great with communication and confirmation of tour. Recommend going early as you beat the crowds. Thank you Joe and Jenny
This was a really amazing experience. The inclines between the 6th and 1st gates are not easy and can be challenging for anyone of low fitness, but the views and sense of history of the Great Wall are worth it. Really glad we did this tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Beijing. Leave early and get to the chairlift station early to avoid the crowds. We got there at 9am and had very little waiting time. Get there at 11am, and you'll be looking at least 1-2 hrs queue times. Jim was our guide from Jenny's Guide & Driver Service was brilliant. He was a very safe and smooth driver, informative along the drive and sorted out all our chairlift and taboggan tickets, so it was a really efficient process. I would highly recommend asking for Jim for this tour to the Great Wall.
Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip (English-Speaking Driver) - great tour. Picked up at the hotel and nice drive to the Great Wall by great driver, thanks Peter for giving us a great day at the wall!
The tour with peter was a wonderful experience. we really appreciated him teaching us the culture of Beijing. The great wall of china was a super fun trip. We will use Peter for other tours.
We had a fantastic day visiting the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Our driver, Wu, was fantastic. He was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were a little disappointed as it was raining on the day we visited but he picked us up from our hotel on time and told us we were lucky as it would be less busy and it was better that it wasn’t hot. He was absolutely right. We chose to be picked up at 6.30am so we arrived in time to have a coffee whilst Wu sorted out our tickets and the cable car. We couldn’t use the chair lift or toboggan as it was wet but that didn’t spoil things at all. Wu came up in the cable car with us and took lots of photos and videos of us at the start of our walk along the walk then left us to explore at our own pace. It was very quiet for the most part and we walked along all the sections we could. When the rain stopped and the clouds lifted it was amazing. Fantastic views and really atmospheric. It really lived up to our expectations. Wu met us when we got back and helped us find a place for lunch then drove us back to our hotel. We felt very well looked after and safe in Wu’s capable hands.
This was totally worth the money. Nice car with air conditioning. Nice English speaking driver. Super convenient!
I could not recommend Jenny's Guide's and Henry the driver enough. Henry arrived on time at my hotel and the drive to Mutianyu and back was cool and comfortable. I was traveling solo and it was great to have someone like Henry to walk with me and quickly get me up to the chairlift at Mutianyu. The fact that we left Beijing early in the morning meant that we beat the significant waiting time at Mutianyu when we arrived. Again, highly recommend Jenny & Henry if you are going to the Great Wall!
Our tour guide Peter was just fantastic. Show us great hospitality from the moment he picked us up and to the Great Wall. He was also patient enough to stop by their local restaurants for us to get some food before the hike up. Peter also brought us to a tea house (free) right afterwards. I would 100% book with Peter again.
I was travelling with my kid and we were well taken care of by Mr Wu from start to finish. He brought us all the way to the starting point, took the chairlift up with us and walked with us a distance showing us the great wall and taking pictures, before returning to the end point to wait for us while we continued exploring on our own. It was very smooth and the only kink was the weather (it rain unexpectedly in the middle of the day). If you would like a hassle free and comfortable experience to the great wall, this is a great option.
