Steven was very organized and prompt.</p> <p>The Wall is unbelievable and something I will never forget. </p> <p>I highly recommend taking the open air lift up to the mountain and then the toboggan. The toboggan was SO much fun.</p>

He gave us so much information about the Great Wall's history and China in general. <br/> We were given plently and time to walk on the wall at our own pace and the lunch ws great too.</p>

There was only about seven of us on the tour. Once you get to the top you are on your own and at your own pace. The view is awesome. Lunch was included and it was about a two hour drive. Traffic is horrible in Beijing. Have fun on the toboggan.</p>

My guides English was a little hard to understand but this didnt bother me as I just wanted to hike. When you get to the wall, take the lift to the top and you will have an option to slide down for an extra fee. Its worth it! I like that you are on your own for about 3 hours to hike then meet up with your group to eat. This was a good experience but you could possibly find a better one with a smaller sized group.</p>

Our trip to Mutianyu was one to... - <p>Our trip to Mutianyu was one to remember for a lifetime. Mr. Steve was our guide for the day. He is knowledgeable about the Great Wall and was happy to share his stories with us. But there were a couple of things that could have been better. We were dropped off at Mr. Yang's restaurant way at the bottom of the hill. It was a long, very steep climb to get partway up to the ticket office. And there was an additional climb to get up to the cable car. It would have been better if we had been dropped off where the busses stopped in order to have more time and energy to hike the wall itself. Also, we waited an inordinate amount of time for the pickup of the third group of guests that clearly were not ready for the tour. Mr Steve could have had them take another tour so that the rest of us could precede as planned. But the Great Wall is not to be missed!</p>

Very good part of the Great Wall to... - <p>Very good part of the Great Wall to visit, but the tour group was larger than expected and half was English speaking and half Chinese speaking. The guide did not have so much historic information, but lunch and convenience stops were well planned.</p>

The Great Wall was Awesome; However.... - The viewing of the great wall was awesome ; however, the tour guide was not personable or genuine during her interactions with non-Chinese tour members. Emily our tour guide did not provide any interaction during the tour neither did she inform the group of sites as we passed them on the drive to the great wall. Additionally, the cable car fees should have also been informed during the sign up of the tour...what if the guest had not planned for this expense. also, I believe the extent of the tour should have been further details (the walk to the cable car to get to the great wall and then the amount of steps and incline (there were some older members of our group who could not make it to the cable car portion to achieve the wonder of the great wall.

The wall was amazing and worth the... - <p>The wall was amazing and worth the trip. The organisation was poor. I was picked up very early and dropped at a central pick up place where I waited for over an hour and resorted to asking every tour bus for their list to find which trip I was on. At the end of the trip I was not returned to my hotel as per booking but left to find my own way back from central Beijing on the tube, not a nice experience for a solo female traveller. So, although I wouldn't have missed experiencing the wall I would not recommend this tour group</p>
