The Best Great Wall Experience Ever – Thanks to Linda! - I did this tour of the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu with Linda, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This is hands down the best tour of the Great Wall of China you could ask for. Everything—from the planning to the views to the personal touches—was beyond anything I expected, and I genuinely can’t imagine a better way to experience such an iconic place. From the moment we met, she was incredibly warm, energetic, and easy to connect with. Her English was amazing—very natural and fluent—so I never felt lost or confused at any point. Anytime someone said something I didn’t understand, she’d jump in and explain it all without me even needing to ask. She also threw in a lot of interesting historical facts and fun anecdotes that made the whole experience feel richer and more personal. One of the things I appreciated most was how perfectly Linda coordinated every single part of the day. Before the tour even started, she reached out to confirm the time, explained what I’d need to bring, and made sure I was totally prepared. On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork—no waiting around, no confusion, just smooth sailing from the hotel pickup to the cable car ride up, the hike along the Wall, and the ride back down. She always seemed one step ahead, whether it was finding the least crowded spots, offering snacks and water, or adjusting the pace based on how I was feeling. Even after the tour ended, she checked in to make sure I got back safely and shared all the photos she took (which were incredible, by the way). Linda was also amazing with the camera. She knew all the best spots, the angles with the best light, and even gave me little cues on how to pose naturally so it didn’t feel forced. I ended up with some of the best photos I’ve ever had from a trip—definitely Instagram-worthy but also great keepsakes. I can’t recommend Linda enough if you’re planning to visit the Great Wall. It’s already an incredible place, but having her as a guide took the experience to a whole new level. If you want an stress-free, fun, and memorable adventure, she’s 100% the person to go with.
