Our driver was very... - Our driver was very punctual (early even), spoke English really well and was super friendly. He had water bottles and fruit for us, and we were able to take as long as we wanted on the great wall. He waited patiently for us even when we stopped for food before heading back to the airport.

Service with a smile - I have personally used Jack's service twice to go to the wall. I have also recommended him to any of my friends who are visiting Beijing and looking to visit the wall. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. His English is great and he always manages to take you to a section of the wall that isn't too busy. Pick up service available from your hotel which is an added bonus. Overall if you are looking for an easy and affordable way to see one of the world's greatestt attractions, this service is for you.

Great trip to Mutianyu! - Last Wednesday my brother and I had a fantastic trip to the great wall!
We spontenous needed a driver to the Great Wall and Jack organized one at once.
He sent us Mr. Wu a real nice and English speaking person. He drove really safe and told us a lot about Beijing. At the Great Wall he organized all the tickets, showed us the way and of course waited for us till we came back from the wall.
We were hungry and he drove us to a nice local restaurant we saw before. It was delicious. After that I asked him to drive us to another place than back to hotel and also this was no problem at all. All in all a great day I really can recommend!

Fantastic Trip to Great Wall at MuTianYu - We had a friend from the UK come to visit us in China (we are also from the UK but work in Tianjin) and we wanted to take him to the great wall at Mutianyu, the back to Beijing South Railway Station. There were six of us altogether so we knew we needed a van, but we didn't want to spend too much. Luckily a friend had recommended Jack to us and we were very pleased they did. Jack greeted us in the hostel lobby in a bright and friendly way, he speaks English which was very helpful. And even though we wanted to go to the station afterwards (no the usual hotel pick-up, hotel return) he was very accommodating. When we got to the wall he took us through the VIP entrance so we didn't have to get the shuttle bus, and helped us buy our entrance tickets and tickets for the chairlift and slide. In all he made the trip very stress free and we were very happy with his service.

Beijing to Great Wall car service - Awesome car service from our hotel in Beijing to The Great Wall, we paid 900 rmb round trip, he waited for us, he got off and bought our entrance tickets. The ride does not include a toll fee and a parking fee about 50 total rmb. Total trip was about 5 hours. Great service, blue tooth in car ao we could play our own music.

Private link to closest part of rebuilt Great Wall - Good private tour. Our tour guide Darwin was a nice guy. He spoke enough English for us to understand what we needed to. He had spare jackets for us to wear, came up on the wall to take photos for us at the start, and made sure we were back in time to get our transfer flight. We had 9h from landing to take-off, and it was fine. Thanks Darwin!
