“Hike to the Great Wall - We spent the day with Peter hiking to a more ‘wild’ part of the Wall and worked our way to the ‘tourist’ portion. Wow! The hike was amazing and reaching the Wall and hearing Peter’s telling of some of its history was beautiful!! Highly recommend this hike/tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-13
