Incredible experience! - We travelled to Beijing on a flying 48 hour trip from London (stopover to Thailand). Severe jetlag meant we collapsed in our room for a couple of hours after checking in so by the time we got out the hotel and ate dinner it was 9pm. I found an old post on trip advisor recommeding Benny (private tour guide) I messaged late on the off chance that we could squeeze in a trip to Great wall.... He responded within minutes and we were booked in to go the following morning at 8.30am. Jinshanling and Gubeikou drive is longer than the typical 45 minutes to the Mutianyu section but it was more than worth it. We were looking to do some hiking and visit a non-touristy portion of the wall and these sections did not disappoint. At Gubeikou we had the place to ourselves and the views were incredible. We feel so lucky to have found Benny, he is such a knowledgeable tour guide and really cared that we had the most exceptional trip. If you are reading this post- book him immediately- you won't be disappointed.
