Fabulous day trip to Mutianyu!
Travelled to Mutianyu with Mr Wu and had a fantastic day! We beat all of the crowds/traffic and I had the Great Wall to myself for the first part of the day. Would highly recommend!

You won’t be disappointed by Linda and this tour!
Cannot recommend this tour and Linda enough! It was absolutely unbelievable. I went with my parents who are both in there 60s (I’m in my 20s) and they can’t stop raving about this tour. Linda made many recommendations before our trip including getting the Great Wall early and thank goodness she did. We were originally going to have this tour at 9am, then she recommended we go much earlier. Though the early start was difficult once we finished the Great Wall and was on our way back, we saw all the traffic that we could have been apart it. Linda was such an incredible tour guide, taking us to a jade museum, ordered lunch for us and took us to a secret shopping area. She even made a reservation and gave us all the information needed for our upcoming dinner at a nice Beijing restaurant. You will be thanking your lucky stars that you picked her by the end. Thank you so much Linda for everything!

Great tour with options in Beijing
Everything was great from the early communication with Linda before arriving to China to Yuehan who was an excellent driver. Pick up at PEK was seamless and drove straight to wall for when I opened at 07:30. He went above and beyond helping with my chair cable ticket and taking some pictures when first up there. Would highly recommend to anyone in Beijing!!

Great option to see great wall
Yuehan was absolutely fantastic he was there when I arrived with a sign and got straight on the road and ended up being at the wall for when it opened at 07:30. He then went above and beyond showing me around and taking some pictures would highly recommend booking this as it gives you flexibility!

Great experience and awesome driver!
We really enjoyed the experience! Yuehan was very punctual, kind, and helpful. He shared a lot of interesting knowledge with us and took us to the Great Wall. Once we arrived, he accompanied us all the way until we were inside, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The car was very clean, and Yuehan was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the whole experience. We felt very comfortable with him. It was definitely worth booking this experience. We highly recommend it!

Beijing and Shanghai with ease
Linda was very responsive and super helpful. She helped organise a few different trips/ transfers for my daughters and I in Shanghai and Beijing and even provided shopping tips! The Mutianyu visit was fantastic and driver Sam made everything easy. I'd recommend Linda's services
S
Amazing tour!!

A flawless experience with Linda and Davis
Everything was perfect! Linda coordinated with us. She was very responsive. Our driver, Davis, was the best. He kept us entertained and provided lots of information. Davis speaks pretty good English, even though he says he doesn’t. He drove us all the way up near the entrance, so we bypassed the bus ride up. He had all the tickets ready for us and gave us directions on how to get around. After we finished, he was waiting for us where he said he would be. Then on the way back, he stopped to buy us some tea drinks. Also, he picked us up in a nice, spacious and clean minivan. The whole experience was flawless.

Great day to spend at the wall
Great tour with our guide Linda. She was very knowledgeable and guided us very quickly up the wall using the chairlift. On the way back we stopped to have a tea ceremony, looked at jade and silk. Everything is optional and no need to buy something. She even stopped on the way back at another store at our request. Great day to spend at the wall
