Incredible!!! - Highly recommend visiting the Great Wall. We did a tour that included a driver and tour guide transporting us to part of the Wall that’s easily accessible with a cable car. It had snowed the day before so we had a beautiful, clear sunny day but still very cold so luckily we dressed warm. The view was spectacular and the Wall history and construction unbelievable.

Guide May - Enjoyed this trip thoroughly. Thanks to May for picking us up at our hotel early in the morning and dropping us off at the airport in time for the flight. In between she showed us the great wall. Very thoughtful of her to pick up some fruit and water prior to picking us up.
She was knowledgeable and very friendly, spoke good English and was pleasant to deal with.
For someone who does not speak Mandarin I would recommend taking a guided tour rather than doing a solo trip. Will help tremendously.
Loved it. Thanks May.

Excellent Experience! - I can highly recommend Wild Great Wall for just about anything you want to book in Beijing. I did a couple of different solo bookings- one to Huanghuacheng where I hiked all morning, and one to a coupe of different sites in Beijing city. Both drivers, Sun and Cui, were absolutely wonderful. If/when back in China, I would not hesitate to book with them again because everything went very smoothly. One thing worth mentioning, my hotel was changed at the last minute the night before my first tour, and I emailed immediately, hoping that someone would see it even at night, to change my pickup point. Ricky responded quickly, as always, and changed it easily. You will have both very good communication upon making your reservations and can only imagine that your drivers wil be equally as wonderful. 5 stars.

Great Wall Tour - Exceptional - We (party of 6 from the U.S. ranging in age from 27 to 66) would highly recommend May and the driver. Both were extremely friendly. May was informative and eager to please; her English was good. The driver consistently offered us assistance in exiting the van. The lunch was delicious and we had more than enough to eat. Thanks for an awesome experience and making our trip to Beijing so very memorable!
(Some did feel rushed during our visit to the Summer Palace which was after we left the Great Wall.)

Mutianyu Great Wall experiences - Mutianyu Great Wall
Great service, I rent a private car 9 hours from downtown Beijing to Mutianyu. I booked 1 month before with Rick and it was great service from him. The driver also great, his name is Zhang Zhifei, he was on time picked me up from my hotel exactly on 6.30AM, he took me for breakfast on the way to Mutianyu. So it was a great experience for me with them. Thank you for the hospitality and definitely will coming again with my family.
Regards

Day hike to Mutianyu - I had the best day with my guide David! Even though it was very foggy and visibility from the highest towers was low, I loved my experience. David took some great photos for me. Separate but equally important, lunch was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend this hike to families, couples, and solo travelers.

A Breathtaking Great Wall Experience - After visits to BadaLing, and MuTianYu, as well as the far off the beaten path JinShanLing, we decided to trek to the more remote Huang Hua Cheng section. Travel to this area, luckily is only about 1.5 hours by car (lucky enough to avoid the Beijing rush hour). The western section is mostly un-restored providing a window into the original Ming Dynasty construction. The views from the top, overlooking the reservoir, Shihuyucun, and the Eastern Wall Section are breathtaking.
Michael was a perfect host, highlighting historical facts as well as information about modern life in Beijing. His English is excellent, and he is a great conversationalist!
Things to note:
It's a 5 hour tour if traffic is ok, and you are in good shape. (I am not, so getting up to the top took me a bit longer than normal)
It is a really steep section, with long flat inclines. Wear proper shoes and go slowly.
Summertime is sweltering hot, so bring lots of water.
If you have some extra time, enjoy a drink or some food at the cafe on the base when you are done.
Enjoy this trip, it is one of my favorites.
