Incredible trip, low crowds - This tour included everything I needed and nothing more. It was unfortunate the driver couldn't speak any English though.

A nice trek to the untouched part . - Would recommend this tour if you prefer a hike in the untouched touristy part of the great wall . Was very quiet with unreal views & we had the wall to ourselves pretty much. Do the red section to east five window tower & continue on for another towers to the see the untouched section. Driver was nice & helpful !

Great 3 - 4 hour hike with spectacular views of the wall and mountains - Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Great part of the wall to hike and spectacular scenery from the wall. The driver, Zhang Feng, was real good and helpful. Easy directions and map provided meant you could take it at whatever pace you wanted or walk with the small group if you prefer.

Value for Money - Very straightforward tour and Jinshanling is superb! While going down from the east gate, I’ve experienced cramps but the driver met me in the middle of the hill to assist me.

Excellent day - We did the self guided small group tour. Clear instructions provided. Easy trip out to the wall. The driver, John was great. Very friendly and although limited English used his translation app to give us all the info we needed. A fantastic day’s walking. Highly recommended.

Great hiking experience and John our driver was amazing - John picked us up and left on time. We had plenty of time to explore and follow the map while still taking pictures. Our driver John was very nice and helpful to start our hike.

Breathtaking views and very peaceful - We had a fantastic day out. John was a great driver and very friendly. He even made a short video of us all. The views of and from the wall were sensational and very few other people were there. Highly recommended.

Do not go to Beijing without seeing her - Very nice day, walking this very beautiful section of the Great Wall. I made the long option that seems accessible to anyone used to hiking in the mountains. I am also dizzy but it was still doable for me without much fear (but small...). Namely, the person you meet on the subway and the driver don't speak a word of English. Framing a little light in my opinion since you have no such number to call an organizer in case of problem once on the wall.
