Tony was awesome! Great way to see two parts of the Great Wall - Tony was awesome. We were there for Golden Week so unfortunately traffic was even worse than usual. Knowing that the traffic would be busy he arranged to start the tour earlier so we could make the most of our day and night. We forgot our cable to charge the Go Pro and he even made a stop so we could buy one. He found every way to get us to our destination by driving us through short cuts in town, modifying our tour so we could stay on course and still see both parts of the Great Wall and catch the sunset. Although I wasn’t as prepared as I thought with the heat and the climbing, Tony was very patient and helpful. He even carried my purse for me while walking the Great Wall. He offered to take many photos of us and spoke English well. He’s an excellent tour guide!

Look NO Further !! Leo is your MAN ! - Choices, Choices, which operator, which tour!!?? Based on reviews & opting for the sunset scene, luck or planning, I couldn't of chosen any better. Timely coordinated to miss the hordes of queues, combining 2 mesmerising locations in 1 day, Leo offers much more than his happy, patient personality and planning. Bringing his own camera and set of photography skills, which allows you to focus more on the scenery. Such a personal touch that over rides all other tour companies I have ever taken. You will not be disappointed !!

Incredible experience! - Leo was an excellent guide! Travel, pickup, and drop-off was very smooth and easy. The parts of the wall that he took us to were great- one very pristine, restored area and one off the beaten path, by the water where we were the only people. He went above and beyond with a drone video and was able to provide great historic information to go along with the tour. I would definitely do it again!

Such an incredible experience - the... - <p>Such an incredible experience - the highlight of our trip! Leo was a wonderful tour guide, incredibly accommodating, on time and full of helpful facts and interesting conversations. The two areas we toured were incredibly memorable, I was looking into a lot of different tours of different sections of the wall leading up to this trip and am SO glad I chose not only these destinations, but specifically the sunset itinerary. The later start @ 11AM meant that Mutianyu was not very crowded for us at all, we went on a weekday, and for the Huanghuacheng section we basically had the wall to ourselves - we were literally the only people there. While the chair lift, toboggan, and general wall climb at Mutianyu was super fun to explore, the lake side Huanghuacheng was such a unique way to see the wall. The water section is beautiful, and the remoteness of the experience was unreal.</p> <p>The overcast skies meant we did not actually get a sunset, but I don't think it made a difference for our group. I would say even if you could care less about a sunset this is still an incredible tour, I can imagine on the rare but right day the sun would look incredible over the view we did enjoy though...</p> <p>Leo and our driver went above and beyond for us - we enjoyed a glass of wine !! at the height of our evening climb, and lunch and the trip down was comfortable and efficient. Leo also brought along a drone camera and sent along a video, which was an unexpected but so appreciated additional activity. We were in China for 10 days and this was hands down my favorite day. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take an incredible day to explore a super unique Great Wall experience.</p> <p>This was a definitely more of an active day - we were huffing it for sure to get to the top of the wall, so I'd recommend heat-appropriate active wear and good shoes!</p>

The highlight of our trip to China! - We did a 1-day private tour with Leo. Everything was perfect. Great english, very knowledgeable guide, we didn't queue for anything, we learned a lot about China's history and culture. The hiking with the sunset and the red wine was perfect, being there with nobody else enjoying the view was for sure one of the best experiences we ever had. I would recommend anyone going to Beijing to do a trip with Leo. Thanks Leo, this was something we will never forget!
