Our driver Wang Wenkuan...

Our driver Wang Wenkuan picked us up at 7 as was originally scheduled. Reached Jinshanling West gate around 10.15am. We walked the wall from West gate to East gate. He picked us up from the East gate. He was very patient. His Tesla was air-conditioned and quiet and comfortable to ride in. Although he didn't speak English, he had translating device to answer any questions we had. We would definitely rehire him if ever needed to book a car in there future.

Memorable and hassle-free!

Highly recommended! My wife and I used this private transfer to visit the Simatai portion of the Great Wall while on our honeymoon. Our driver, Su Debin (苏德彬), was incredibly punctual, kind, communicative, and helpful! If you’re looking for a private ride anywhere around Beijing, you should use this service. Debin contacted us and our hotel on WeChat one day prior to ensure a smooth start. He picked us up from our hutong hotel on time — in fact, he was a few minutes early, which was great. He greeted us with a lovely welcome gift of bananas and drinks, then we were off. His car was luxurious and spacious. The air-conditioning worked perfectly on a cruelly hot August day. The ride was smooth while Debin shared the history of Beijing and its many cultural landmarks. We reached Gubei Water Town at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall in under 2 hours. Upon arrival, he offered to help us with purchasing tickets and escorted us to the entrance. Our return trip was just as smooth. Since my Mandarin is at an elementary level, we used translation apps to communicate at times, but this was no obstacle at all. Overall, this was a very memorable and hassle-free experience that I would recommend to anyone. It was a honor to spend this lovely day with Debin (德彬) — Ask for him by name!

We set off earlier than...

We set off earlier than scheduled on the advice of my driver, Dong Xuefei, and I'm very glad we did. The Wall itself and the scenary are spectacular, but it was also very quiet, which was perfect. Dong was a fantastic driver, gave me good advice on which trail to take, and was very pleasant to chat with. I highly recommend him and this experience!

Relaxed tour to beautiful part of the Chinese wall.

Today, Zhen was our driver. He arrived at the hotel on time. It was easy to communicate with Zhen through the translation app. We were snacks in the car and cold water. On our way to Jinshaling we made an extra stop at a teahouse for a tea tasting. Jinshaling was a really perfect place. It was quiet and the wall was beautiful. We highly recommend this trip.

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience with Dong Xufei. Everything was very well organized from pickup to drop-off, and the whole trip went smoothly. He gave us a map, shared helpful tips for the route, and made sure we had all the information we needed for the visit. After the trip, he even provided us with snacks, which was a very thoughtful gesture. He was a lovely, friendly driver, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable transfer. Thank you for making our trip so easy!

Amazing trip to Jishangling Great Wall

We booked a full day tour to Jinshangling the remote section of the great Wall. It’s a 2.5 hr trip from Beijing and as well worth it as there are hardly any other tourists there and unlike other closer sections of the Wall, you feel like you have the wall to yourself. Our driver Jack was outstanding. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and very professional. The vehicle was very comfortable and, above all, we felt very safe with Jack’s driving.Highly recommended.

Jinshanling Great Wall

Jinshanling Great Wall — where the past meets the sky. No crowds, just wind and wonder. Our driver, Yu Yongtai, was the friendliest! We traveled with our entire extended family, and my dad spoke a little Chinese. Yu Yongtai was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and the amazing trip.

Great guide Zhen Lihui

Would highly recommend this experience to visit the Great Wall. My guide Zhen Lihui was very friendly and accommodating. He arrived early and messaged me, so we were able to depart early, arrived with plenty of time to spare and explore the wall at sunrise. The car ride was also comfortable and I was able to sleep on the way there and on the way back. There was also a very friendly woman who has a souvenir shop at one of the Great Wall towers. She approached me and offered to take photos of me on the wall. I bought some hot tea and souvenirs from her. She told me I was the first person to pass by today, so I know for a fact Mr. Zhen Lihui got me there very early, which was my goal.
