Thanks Mark for a great day out! He arrived on time outside of my hotel and we had a nice chat in his very comfortable vehicle on the way to the wall. We arrived early to avoid all the crowds - this is a must. I had a wonderful time exploring the wall and catching the toboggan on the way down! On the way back to Beijing he drove via the lake which was a lovely addition. Mark was friendly, knowledgeable, and gives you ample solo time also.

Hi there, thanks so much for this lovely review — Mark will be thrilled to hear it!
He really does enjoy that morning drive with you: as an English speaking driver, the whole ride is easy conversation and local stories, and he makes sure you're comfortable every mile of the way. And you're spot on about the early start — that's exactly our secret. We pick you up around 6:30am, beat the tour buses to the entrance, and get you onto the Wall while it's still quiet — before the crowds build up and long lines form at the entry. It makes the whole day feel so much more special.
And the toboggan ride down is always the fun finale — sounds like you nailed it! We're glad you also enjoyed the scenic drive by the lake on the way back; it's our little bonus whenever the day allows.
Most of all, we're happy you got to explore at your own pace — that's exactly how we like our guests to experience the Wall. Thanks again for the kind words, and we'd love to welcome you back to Beijing someday. Safe travels!
Warm regards,
Mark Guide Driver Beijing

Hi there, thanks so much for the lovely review — Mark will be really happy to hear it!
Since you enjoyed the walk so much, here's a little insider tip we love to share: once you get off at the toboggan station, turning left takes you along the gentlest stretch of the Mutianyu Wall — so easy that kids and grandparents can stroll it comfortably. Turn right instead and you're on the steepest section, which will test even the fittest legs! And if you're after that perfect photo, head toward the area around Watchtower No. 6 — it's the classic spot for those sweeping shots of the Wall snaking over the mountains.
Thanks again for the kind words, and we'd love to welcome you back to Beijing anytime. Safe travels!
Warm regards,

Very good organized trip
The trip was amazingm, everything was as described in the iternary. But one thing needs to be highlighted: our guide Mark drove us directly to the lift, so we saved at least 1 hour waiting for and taking the shuttle bus. That's something what really distinguishes that trip among the other offers. Could be recommend for everyone.

Hi there, thank you so much for this great review — we're thrilled to hear the trip was amazing and everything went just as described! We'll definitely pass your kind words on to Mark.
And you've hit on something we're really proud of — our Skip the shuttle bus advantage. Here's what that means: most group tours bring everyone down to the visitor center, where you park and then join a long, crowded queue waiting for the shuttle bus up to the Wall. On busy days you're standing in line with dozens of other tour groups, and by the time you finally board, ride up, and do it all again on the way down, that's a big chunk of your day gone. With our private car option, Mark drives you right past that whole scene and drops you at a smaller parking lot that's much closer to the entrance. That alone saves you around an hour — round trip — of waiting and riding. Instead of standing in a crowded queue, you get to spend that time and energy on the Wall itself.
This is especially handy if you're catching a flight later that day. Skipping the shuttle queue means we can plan your timing right down to the minute, so you get back to the airport on schedule without any stress.
Thank you again for recommending us to everyone — it means the world! We'd love to welcome you back to Beijing anytime. Safe travels!
Warm regards,

Highly recommended
Definitely a well deserved 5 etar rating. Mark is patient, has a great deal of knowledge and information to share. The Great Wall was a magnificent experience and he let us savor every moment while there. The toboggan ride downhill was a thrill and worth the wait in line. Mark recommended great shopping experiences and we were able to find our own souvenirs without feeling pressured. The Peking duck was absolutely perfect and the tea ceremony a perfect top off to a great day for our family. Thank you Mark.

Hi there, thank you so much for this wonderful review — it really made our day! We're thrilled to hear you and your family had such a great time, and we'll definitely pass your kind words on to Mark.
Mark is genuinely one of a kind — patient, full of stories, and always happy to let you take things at your own pace. We're so glad he could share his knowledge with you at the Wall and that you got to soak it all in. And yes, that toboggan ride downhill is always a highlight — nothing quite like it after the climb!
It also means a lot that you enjoyed the shopping recommendations. Mark loves pointing out the good spots, but the whole point is for you to browse at your own pace and find what you love — no rush, no pressure. And we're so glad the Peking duck and the tea ceremony were the perfect finish to your day.
Thank you again for choosing us, and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd love to welcome you and your family back on your next trip to Beijing — until then, safe travels!

Relaxing, easy and informative day as a family.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour- our driver Mark spoke great English and gave great explanations about everything we saw. He gave us free time at the wall, then took us to a great local restaurant away from all the tourists for an amazing and super cheap lunch. Thanks for a great day!
事業者からの返答
Hi there, thank you so much for this lovely review — we're thrilled to hear you had such a great day with Mark! We'll definitely pass your kind words on to him.
Mark really does love sharing everything he knows, from the history of the Wall to the little stories behind the places you pass — and we're so glad his explanations made the day even richer. It's also great to hear you enjoyed having free time to explore the Wall at your own pace; that's exactly how we like to do it.
And we're so glad you loved that local lunch spot! Finding those little hidden restaurants away from the tourist crowds is one of our favorite things — the food is always more authentic, the portions generous, and the prices incredibly reasonable. Chinese food is really a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. A typical local table is full of color — deep reds from slow-braised soy sauce dishes, bright greens from freshly stir-fried vegetables, golden crispy bites, and clean white steamed fish or tofu, all coming together like a little painting. And the flavors are just as layered: savory umami from soy, a touch of sweetness, a hint of sour, warmth from ginger and garlic, and sometimes a gentle kick of chili — all carefully balanced so no single taste takes over. Every dish has its own character, and sharing them family-style means you get to taste a bit of everything. It's simple, fresh, and full of flavor — and we're so glad you got to experience it the way locals do.
Thank you again for choosing us and for taking the time to share your experience. We'd love to welcome you back on your next trip to Beijing — until then, safe travels!

Best Great Wall Tour Guide
Jim was an amazing tour guide. He met us directly in the lobby of our hotel. He offered food during our ride in the car. He told us facts about the great wall. He also helped take pictures of us along the great wall. He was an amazing tour guide and we would give him more than 5 stars if we could. He did such an amazing job!

Hi there, thank you so much for this wonderful review — it absolutely made our day! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time with Jim, and we'll definitely pass your kind words on to him. "More than 5 stars" — that means the world to us!
Jim really is something special. Meeting you right in your hotel lobby, having snacks ready for the drive, sharing all those Great Wall facts along the way, and even stopping to help you capture the moment with photos — that's just the kind of thoughtful, go-the-extra-mile guide he is. We're so glad it showed.
Speaking of food, there are actually quite a few restaurant options near the Great Wall, and we're always happy to help you find one you'll love. Just let us know what you're looking for — whether you're vegetarian, prefer no spicy food, need halal options, or have any other dietary preferences — and we'll be glad to recommend a restaurant that fits your taste.

Great, punctual English speaking driver
Kind English speaking driver. He gave us clear instructions about where to take the gondola, and the toboggan and where to meet him after.
He was right on time and gave us a heads up of his arrival about 10min in advance.
All in all, everything went smoothly and we would definitely recommend.

Hi there, thank you so much for this lovely review — we're thrilled to hear everything went smoothly and that you'd recommend us! It means a lot.
We're so glad your driver was kind, spoke great English, and made the whole day easy to navigate — clear instructions on where to catch the gondola and toboggan, plus a set meeting point, really do make all the difference. And arriving right on time with a 10-minute heads-up? That's exactly the kind of thoughtful, reliable service we love to see.
And we couldn't agree more about the toboggan — there's nothing quite like that ride down the mountainside. Feeling the cool wind rush past as you weave down the hillside, with the Great Wall and green peaks unfolding around you, is equal parts thrilling and peaceful. It's the kind of playful, joyful moment that puts a big smile on your face and stays with you long after the ride is over — the perfect finish to a day at the Wall.
One last thing — we truly wish we knew which of our drivers had the pleasure of serving you that day, so we could pass your kind words on to him personally! If you happen to remember his name, we'd absolutely love to know. Thank you again for choosing us, and we'd love to welcome you back on your next trip to Beijing — until then, safe travels!
Warm regards,

Hi there, thank you so much for this wonderful review — we're thrilled to hear you had such an excellent time at the Great Wall! It means a lot to us.
We're so glad you felt the service was professional, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Punctuality is something we really pride ourselves on — there's nothing worse than feeling rushed or behind schedule on a day trip, so we're happy to hear everything went exactly as planned.
A big part of that smooth, well-organized experience happens before you even step into the car. Our guides usually book your Great Wall tickets and Toboggan tickets online in advance, then send the QR codes straight to you before the trip. That way, you can simply scan your code at the entrance and skip the hassle of pulling out your passport at every ticket checkpoint — one less thing to worry about so you can focus on enjoying the Wall!
We're also so glad your driver made sure you felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. That's exactly the kind of care we want every traveler to feel.
Thank you again for choosing us and for the recommendation — we'd love to welcome you back on your next trip to Beijing. Until then, safe travels!
