Absolutely recommend this tour - It was an absolutely amazing experience. The Wall was really empty und the weather was perfect. Communication was perfect. However, the estimated time did not really work since we were supposed to get back at 8pm but sunset was at 6:30pm an with getting done from the wall an a 2 hour drive we took much longer. Just keep that in mind for your Plans :)

Great, very good experience. - All great. We were in total a group of six people, punctual departure and correct transport. Stretch of the wall with no people and enough time to walk everything we wanted. We were able to reach the most authentic area and then go at sunset where Jackie was waiting, who had a very friendly treatment with us and spoke very good English.

You will have the best experience. - ⭕️Good points
・Accurate on time
・Kanayamarei Great Wall is hard and requires a lot of physical strength, but the time is set to take that into account.
· The guide will take care of all the procedures, so participants just follow along.
❌ Improvements
・Write about the meeting place separately for each language
➡️They will guide you through WeChat, so you will know the meeting place by the day. You can rest assured that they will explain in detail the meeting place, time and what to bring at the confirmation the day before.
I've written and seen improvements,
It was a very good tour!!!
There was little word of mouth from the Japanese, and there was anxiety, but nothing was wrong!

Great Wall in Jinshanling - The tour was a great success. If you prefer to walk the Wall on your own, this is a great option. The guide picked us up at the subway station, took us to the site, handled our tickets, and provided a map and directions for the walk, depending on the chosen option (longer, shorter, or take the cab line). They picked us up at the exit and drove us back to Beijing. Everything went according to plan. I highly recommend Jinshanling, it's a more atmospheric and definitely less touristy part of the Wall.

Jinshanling Great Wall - I recommend going to Jinshanling Great Wall if you have enough time because it's a beautiful and definitely not crowded section. It is a quite challenging trekking, so I recommend it only if you are trained and if you are not traveling with small children or elderly people.
Our driver Jackie was a really nice. He explained us the route and gave us a map of the section of the wall we had to visit.

Selfguided hike of Jinshangling great wall - Selfguided hike from west to east gate of Jinshangling Great Wall. 3 h with foto stops. Shared transport with 3 other people. A guided service for this part of the Great Wall is unnecessary. Given the difficulties to go there by public transport, the tour was a cost effective way to do the hike.

Crazy. - Jinshanling is really one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, the van picked us up at 8:00, after about two hours we arrived at the main gate where we started to climb towards the wall with the Guide who then left us before entering the towers. We arrived at 10:30 and left about 14:30 time to do 6km of the wall to the east gate.
Recommendation to visit this part of the wall because really calmer despite made in August and much more scenic

Great experience! - Amazing and very professional service, the agency let us know straight away after booking we would have had to leave earlier than planned due to holiday weekend to avoid roadblocks and traffic, which we appreciated as it really enabled us to visit the Great Wall with few people, sun and in a very relaxed atmosphere. The driver, Jackie, was on time, nice and provided all info and tips to enjoy at best this section of the Great Wall. Everything was perfect, and considering Beijing was bursting with people that day, we had a phenomenal and private experience which I'll remember forever
