Wonderful experience - The visit was wonderful and we really enjoyed it! Everything met our expectations. Moreover we had the privilege to be alone on the wall, and we will keep astonishing memories of this moment. Thanks for your prompt replies during the booking process. I will highly recommend ChinaTour to my friends traveling to China.

Great Wall - I had a 21 hour layover in Beijing. I was very happy to find out about the transfer Visa and then the availability of tours. I was able to request an early pick up time at my hotel (and I could've requested a pick up at the airport too) to make it back in time for my afternoon flight. I was a tiny bit nervous as a solo female traveler. I LOVED IT! I'm so happy I did this. Edward, my guide, showed up on time and started with the history immediately. Took time to answer all my questions. Very friendly and will definitely recommend to anyone who asks. I not only saw the Great Wall but learned so much about the history. Thank you Edward for your hospitality and making sure everything was taken care of. Do this if you can. You will be happy you did.

Mutianyu Gerat Wall and other - Very good organized tour. Guide was very helpful. Gave us a lot of interesting information about places we were visiting. It was not only Great Wall but also Ming Tombs and jade factory and tea shop.

Accommodated our last minute booking and let us do our own thing at the wall! Great Experience as described on the site. - Accommodated our last minute booking, let us stop at a bank on the way to the wall, experience as described. The driver picked us up from our hostel and parked at the carpark to the wall. Driver then came in with us and organised our coach tickets (we elected to pay for these when we booked) and showed us the way to the coach. Were given 4hrs to do whatever we wanted and return to the van. Great experience , let us do our own thing, very convenient. Would do again.

Great Wall Tour - Henry was a perfect host and guide. He gave us a great history of the wall on our trip to the wall, then seamlessly guided us up to the cable car and walked with us along the trip up and down the wall, even helping some that needed a little extra support. The whole trip went well from start to finish thanks to Henry Chung.

A Deceptive and Disappointing Experience on my Birthday!! - I was incredibly disappointed with this tour from start to finish. This was my first time booking through TripAdvisor, and I chose this tour because of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.
Pricing Confusion: The tour was listed as “from $169,” so I was surprised to find $299 USD charged to my Visa, which amounted to $427.92 CAD. That’s a significant amount, and I expected an exceptional experience in return, but that wasn’t the case.
Poor Guide Quality: The tour description led me to believe I’d be visiting a prominent section of the Great Wall. However, the section we visited was much shorter and seemed less impressive. The guide did not offer a proper tour experience; I couldn’t understand much of what she said, and she barely engaged with me. I noticed other guides were highly attentive, explaining things, taking photos for visitors, and keeping high energy. I received none of that.
Being Left Alone: After taking the cable car, my guide asked if it was okay for me to walk alone, which I assumed meant it was a short distance. I ended up walking the Wall entirely by myself, with no guidance, no information, and no one to help take photos. To make matters worse, I accidentally took a wrong route and got lost, climbing a different trail meant for another tour. My messages to the guide failed to send, and I was left feeling isolated and frustrated.
Guide’s Response: When I mentioned this to the guide afterward, she said that other visitors had paid more to have the guide stay with them, which felt absurd given the high amount I had already paid.
Poor Food Quality: The food was low quality, and I even found a hair in it, which was very disappointing.
Overall, this was a frustrating experience, especially as it was supposed to be a special way to celebrate my birthday. I left feeling scammed, having paid extra for an experience that fell far short of expectations. If you’re a solo traveler, I recommend avoiding this tour. Visit the Great Wall at Badaling on your own , take Didi to ensure a better experience.
