This was the highlight of my time in Beijing. It was such a good walk along the wall, and nice to go to Jinshanling where there was hardly anyone else. Jackie was a great guide with good English and a sense of humour. There are quite a lot of steps and ups and downs, so a reasonable level of fitness is necessary. Take water and snacks as there’s not much to buy there. We all really loved the experience.

The best tour I have done
Jackie was very informative and was a great guide.
This section of the wall itself is amazing and I’d definitely be back to do it again.

The General Tower
I would totally recommend this trip!
The directions regarding place of pick-up were super detailed, place hard to miss.
Guide was very friendly and gave us some good intro about Great Wall and the part we were heading.
Communication with him was super easy and he replied in less than minute.
The trip was great, place where we were hiking - almost no people.
Just remember to not hike too fast, 12/10 😉

Awesome, beautiful views and really not crowded
I loved the great wall and Jinshaling is really a lovely part - we were almost alone on the wall! Just be aware that the guide only drops you at the start, shows/explains you a map and picks you up at the end. maybe you could also just rent a driver with a car.

Thank you for your review. It's described in the details that the guide will not hike with you. Sorry maybe we didn't describe enough. Thanks again!

A Wonderful Great Wall Experience
Truly fabulous. Very few tourists there, which made the experience so much better. A fair few steps to climb but that was also good.

The wall is spectacular, 5.5hrs on the bus is not
The walk was great. Quiet and peaceful along the first section of the wall. The walk itself is very steep in places with a lot of steps. Youve got heaps of time so you don't really need to be that fit, but If you've got bad knees be prepared for a bit of pain.
The bus ride is pretty unpleasant. Small minibus. built for people who are about 5ft tall. Took 3 hours to get there and about 2.5 back.
We were unlucky in that some selfish European tourist decided to bring their hacking COVID plague cough on the bus. No mask. Coughed all the way there and back. Probably made everyone on the bus sick.
In hindsight would get a private taxi. More expensive but much less likely to get the plague.

Amazing to hike the great wall, if you aren’t fit or able to hike then i definetly wouldn’t do this, but it was great and the tour guide on the bus was nice

Breathtakingly beautiful and unmissable... If fit!
Genuinely breathtaking. Despite visiting on a weekend I found the Jinshanling section to be very quiet with beautiful scenery. I had plenty of sections to myself. No cable cars or big tour groups, the extra travel time from Beijing relative to nearer sections is definitely worth it. You do need a decent degree of fitness/leg strength. I counted 1220 steps from car park up to wall and then the 6km hike is very up and down with quite some scrambling. In 30 degree heat expect to consume at least 1.5l of water though water is for sale at some of the towers. Genuinely one of the most special places I have ever been in the world.

Amazing experience!
The whole experience was amazing!! The pick-up was easy and perfeclty on time. Jackie was so knowledgeable, kind and helpful.
This section of the wall is absolutely gorgeous but not easy on the knees as there is a lot of ups and downs. It was very quiet as well which is amazing!
