Excellent service & trip!

Wang guo wang got in touch via WhatsApp to introduce himself the day before our trip asking questions about what we wanted & possible entrances to the great wall. Lovely clean car, vey spacious. He was polite, knowledgeable & on time. He helped so much getting my disabled husband onto the great wall which was a task in itself i wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

Very experienced

Very experienced driver (Mr. Sun). He not only gave us information as a tour guide, he also made suggestions which make our trip more smoothly. We strongly recommend him as if you are not very familiar with where you are visiting.

Highly Recommend This Tour

We only had 2 days in Beijing and wanted to see the Great Wall. We booked a tour not knowing what to expect but were thrilled with the service, communication and ease with which our driver assisted us. Tian Wei was friendly and very knowledable giving us lots of advice. The tour was seamless and well worth being picked up and dropped back at our hotel. The views were amazing at Mutianyu and we were fortunate to not have large crowds. We highly recommend asking for Tian as your driver if booking a tour to the Great Wall in Beijing.

We were amazed by the...

We were amazed by the beauty of the mountains in which the Great Wall is located. The trip led us to a beautiful part of it. I highly recommend choosing Badalang. I also recommend our driver, Gao Dapeng, who is an extremely kind and helpful person with a big knowledge of history. His stories about the past and the present were captivating. He also drove us to try Chinese tea!

Keep calm and carry on booking…

Our driver Sun arrived bang on time at 6:00am. He had sent a message the day before to confirm. The limousine was clean and comfortable. We arrived at the entrance to the Great Wall early bypassing all the queues and no need to take the bus shuttle. Sun made all the bookings for us, entrance fee, the cable car (and the bus, which we were advised is unavoidable). This cost us an extra Y200 each, but it was worth it. After parking up, Sun joined us in the cable car taking us to the start of our walk along the wall. Leaving us there we arranged to meet after our Great Wall exploration. Because we had made the choice of an early start we were the first people to arrive on the wall… beyond our expectation. We had the most immersive experience walking alone along the wall as far as it is possible to go. On the way back we enjoyed the crowded atmosphere of the world famous relic, but our memories will always be of our time alone with the ancient wonder. Our return journey was enhanced by Sun’s knowledge of Chinese music culture, movie sound track classics and a pop hit from 30 years ago… the last time I was in this fantastic country.

Amazing sight made more special in Gao’s care

GAO DAPENG WAS FANTASTIC. I never usually leave reviews but Gao was an amazing guide. He was very accommodating with the language barrier and had a translation tool on hand for my wife and I to communicate with him. He was kind, lighthearted, and was one of the highlights of our time in Beijing. The wall was breathtaking, but it was made even better by Gao’s attentiveness and helpfulness in navigating through the ticket process and seeing the wall. I would 100% recommend the service and if any of the other transporters are as good as Gao, you are in amazing care!

Great trip to badaling wall and back

Great trip to badaling walk and back. Great to get there earlier before the rush and have time to see the wall before it got busy

Fantastic experience

The driver was fantastic - easy to get a hold of, fluent in English (even though I speak Chinese, my wife does not) and extremely helpful in recommending we go to a different section of the wall since we had the time (saved us a lot of traffic and frankly the experience was way better with less tourists). He was also able to get us VIP passes to skip the line and drove us up to the entry (vs. having to take a shuttle from where most tourists are dropped). The only thing I wish they told us was that seniors could be free - but partly that's becuase I didn't say anything about my parent's ages. Overall a great experience, I'd highly recommend.
