James was very sweet, punctual and professional. He provided us with waters, and chatted us up with facts about the wall on the ride up. He accompanied us up until the cablecar, and then picked us up and asked if we’d like to shop at some cute stores on the way home, and even bought us some ice cream. All in all, we couldn’t have had a better driver!
Arien was great, picked us up at 6:30 drove us to the wall before there were any queues.skipped the shuttle bus to get us there earlier, sorted the tickets for us and was waiting for us when we returned. We were able to go up while the wall was still mostly empty explore and return before the taboggan queue was busy. Well worth it as a time saver
Our Guide James was EXCELLENT! English speaking, he picked us up at our hotel early and waited for us to finish eating breakfast. Great safe driver to the Great Wall of China. He took us to the gate early to avoid big crowds. Thank you James
The early start beats massive crowds, definitely worth it. Tour guide Ken was great and gave us options and the ability to beat the crowds and have no wait on the toboggan ride.
Dear Michael, Thank you for your great review. We are pleased that you had a good experience with Ken's service. Best regards,
Our driver, Marvin, was very helpful and friendly. He picked us up on time and took us close to the chairlift that goes up to the wall. The trip was comfortable and went smoothly. The wall is amazing, of course … and more of a physical challenge to navigate than I was expecting. Those stairs to the corner tower are steep! A great experience
Dear Stephen, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased that Marvin delivered helpful service and your private trip proceeded smoothly. We appreciate your note regarding the steep staircase on the Great Wall. It is wonderful that you enjoyed the iconic site. Sincerely,
It was very disappointing S there was no guide it was just the driver who took us to the Great Wall left us at the entrance and told us to meet him at a spot after we finish walking .. there was no water in the car Extremely disappointed with this tour had to look for the driver for over 15 mins Also the morning pick up was 9 am the driver arrived late as they put in 9.30 am as start time We were waiting for lobby This is simply not done to just do a tour on our own with a driver to just pick up and drop off
Dear Mr. Harmeet, We are so sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with our tour. The departure time for your tour was scheduled for 9:00am which is your choice. We admit that we made a mistake with the pickup time in the morning. However driver arrived at 9:10am and met you ASAP. Once we realized our fault, we started to apologize for many times. But we completely understand how frustrating this must have been. We take full responsibility for the delay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we caused you that day. Please also note the tour you booked is Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip with English-Speaking Driver. As clearly shown in the tour description, a tour guide is not included. We do have alternative Great Wall tours that provide tour guide service, though they come at a different price. And driver even explained some history for you.

Please rest assured that our driver always prepare drinking water for guests. Please feel free to ask for water whenever you need it. Thank you for your understanding.
We had an amazing experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave great history on the wall. He took us to the jade place where we learned about telling real jade from fake jade. Highly recommend.
We had a great time with James as our guide and would recommend him and this service to anybody for a Great Wall tour. Everything went exactly as planned. On top of that, James has a really delightful personality and it was a fun to chat with him along the way :)
I had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall of China with my tour guide, Ken! He was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. He shared a lot of interesting information about the Great Wall and made the experience both fun and educational. Ken also went above and beyond by helping me take some really great photos and finding the best spots for pictures. He was patient, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable and enjoying the experience the whole time. I highly recommend Ken to anyone visiting the Great Wall of China. Thank you, Ken, for making my visit so memorable!
The guide, James was excellent, professional and perfect
