“Tour guide made our trip hassle-free - The van pick-up was on time. Our tour guide, Jimmy, is well-informed and very resourceful. We arrived at Mutianyu by lunchtime and he already made arrangements with the restaurant so that by the time we arrived, our food was ready. Tour guide walked with us along the Great Wall and he’s very knowledgeable with the history behind it. He also made security checks easy.” (Reviewed on 2019-09-16)
