Great overnight camp at the Wall - We went with Steven on a beautiful weekend — we’d hike in the first day to to farm campsite next to the Great Wall and then after an overnight camp, continue hiking along the wall the next day. Some of the memorable moments include the lovely bbq dinner, amazing hot tea in the cold, and overlooking the city from atop the Great Wall at 11 in the night. Steven is easy to hike with and generous with his knowledge. Looking forward to the next one; thank you Steven

Awesome, Unforgettable Day!!! - Our visit to the Great Wall with Steven as our guide was absolutely brilliant! We saw a unique, less travelled - but so worth seeing - portion of the wall, with beautiful views and lots of variety. Steven’s passion for hiking and history, along with his fluency in English made him the ideal person to lead us on this adventure. He took great care of us and delivered exactly what we were hoping for!

Wonderful Scenery , a very local experience. - Back in May, my family and I decided to engage in this activity, and luckily, we were greeted with pleasant weather, granting us the chance to witness some breathtaking scenery. In addition, we had a wonderful group of individuals who joined us for the hike. With its kid-friendly nature, this hike is recommended for children over six years old. Although there were a few slightly challenging parts, we managed to navigate around them by opting for alternative paths. Steven is extremely friendly and patient as a Local Guide, I would strongly recommend him again for future hikes. A recommendation for a 5-star rating would be having a extra guide/assistant for safety reasons, one at the lead and another person at the tail of the group.
