Amazing tour! Absolute recommendable! - The views were amazing. We took a lot of photos, also with the drone. Anson was a great guide who took care about us. He provided a good mix of information about the Chinese history, time for photos and organized a very good dinner at jinshanling.

Amazing tour with Miko - Had a tour with Miko and work friends and was a fantastic time. Had the ability to see the water town and also the beautiful Great Wall during the evening. Miko provided lots of knowledge and was patient with us while we explored both areas. Highly recommend.

GREAT WALL REVIEW... - GREAT WALL REVIEW I and a friend of mine transited through China for a week and had the chance to visit the Great Wall by booking this tour. As to the cost, we concluded that for the completion of the service, its cost and its long duration (see as a positive tract), this was the best (and considering all alternatives to see the same things in a way the most affordable too) option to opt for. Our guide, who goes by the English name Myco (or Myko), used the long journey from Beijing to the Wall to first introduce us to some aspects of Chinese everyday life, which we would have probably missed if someone local hadn't told us, and then proceeded to inform us about the Wall and what we would have seen the rest of the day. The sightseeing tour was really satisfying and lived up to expectations, if not even more. Myco's choice of local food and the absence of anybody else on the Wall (in other sections it appears to be much different) really helped to make this day as similar to a deep dive into the real China as possible. We finished the day totally astonished and sure that the tour was worth every penny we paid. If we could see Myco (and why not also the driver Sun) again, we would thank him again for everything.

Jinshanling Private Tour + Night View of Simatai - Miko was our tour guide, and did a great job explaining all about the history & construction of the Great Wall, his English & knowledge are excellent! For the tour itself, I've been to multiple stops along the Great Wall, and Jinshanling is now among my favorites. I would recommend the cable car ride up (which was not included in the tour price, instead of the 30 minute + walk up to the Wall). As my focus was on the Wall itself, Miko worked with us to maximize our time on the Wall. While the night view of Simatai is amazing, there's really not much "walking" permitted at night (and as difficult as walking the wall can be, it's for the best). I will go back to check out Simatai again, during the day, when I can walk & explore this section. Thanks again for a wonderful tour!
