Steven - The expert of the Great Wall in its ancient parts. - Steven is an outstanding hiking guide in Beijing:
Professional and adaptable, he knows the local points of view perfectly and adapts to the weather and the specific needs of the group. Enthusiastic and patient, Steven offers personalized hikes and surrounds himself with assistants if necessary.

I owe him my best adventures around Beijing.

Unforgettable trip to the wild section of the Great Wall - I can't recommend Steven highly enough. He is really an expert on all things great wall, ensures that you have an authentic, adventurous and smooth experience to the great wall. He will definitely take you off the beaten track and adapt to your levels or needs. I've done many trips already with Steven and can't wait for my next one. Don't leave Beijing without a trip to the 'wild Great Wall'.

My favorite hiking group in Beijing - Steven is a wonderful guide -- I've been hiking with him since I moved to Beijing two years ago. He always finds scenic yet uncrowded paths, so you can enjoy the stunning views without having to fight through masses of other tourists. He's extremely responsive and flexible, always happy to adapt a route to the group's abilities and desires, even on the fly (thanks to his intimate familiarity with pretty much all the mountains around Beijing). Most importantly, though, Steven is the kindest, gentlest person you could ever ask for, so filled with passion for what he does and for sharing it with others. I've recommended so many friends join his hikes, and they've never regretted it.

Amazing tour in Jiankou - Great Wall of Chin - Steven is a really kind guide. Our tour in the great wall was amazing with him. I would definitely recommend. He has the knowledge to access to most inaccessible part of the great wall and everything was perfect, from transportation to the food. Everything very well thought!

Most amazing hikes in Beijing - Steven’s hikes were one of the best experiences throughout my three-year stay in Beijing!
Routes were amazing and the atmosphere felt like family.
I will miss many things in Beijing, Steven’s hike among the top of those things.
