Badaling and Longqing - My solo trip with Cassie went very well. The weather was not on our side, wet and foggy but we had a good laugh together as the rain poured down on us! The first stop was Badaling, Cassie knew the best way up to encounter minimal crowd, in fact we hardly saw anyone else! We went up on the funicular and had time for a lovely walk along the wall. Next stop was a buffet lunch and a jade factory. The lunch was excellent, the jade factory was also very nice and no pressure to buy anything. The last stop was Longqing gorge. I really liked it despite the rain. Well worth the visit. The views are stunning especially if you take the boat ride.

This was an excellent... - This was an excellent day. The weather was very wet and foggy but nevertheless with my wonderful guide who spoke great English we had a lot of laughs in the rain. We went to Badaling and had the wall to ourselves which was superb then we went to Longqing gorge which I enjoyed especially again as we were the only ones there. It is a very special place and well worth the trip.

Fantastic Tour, Fantastic Guide! - Highly Recommended. One of the BEST tours I’ve taken. Allen is a fantastic guide! Super experienced, speaks great English and very knowledgeable about Chinese history. My family and I learnt a lot from him on this tour. The itinerary is exciting and everything was planned to perfection. Our guide, Allen, made the whole trip super smooth and entertaining! Really enjoyed the scenic boat ride at Longqing Gorge, lunch at a local eatery, and our time at the Great Wall. Allen even gave us suggestions on what’s good to eat around our hotel. Also thank you to our driver, Mr Tian who drove expertly and got us to our destinations quickly and safely!

Amazing day thanks to our fantastic guide Lucy Yue and our great driver Liu Chao - We had an amazing day with our fantastic guide, Lucy Yue, and our great driver, Liu Chao. Lucy contacted me yesterday to confirm our pick up arrangement. Today she and Mr. Liu picked us up at our hotel as planned. We drove to Longqing gorge first to avoid the morning crowd at the Badaling Great Wall. It worked out well as there were very few people at the gorge. We walked through the dragon and had a magical boat ride through the tall mountains. Beautiful scenery! The cable car was closed so we didn’t get to ride it. Next we had a nice lunch at a place of our choosing. Last, we went to the Badaling Great Wall. On our way there, Lucy gave us the history. When we got there, she expertly guided us through the process to get to the wall and took lots of pictures of us on the wall. The crowd was leaving as we were coming so the order we followed was perfect. I didn’t know the main attractions in Beijing are closed on Mondays so the wall is more crowded than normal. If you get Lucy Yue and Liu Chao you will have a great day. Lucy is a lot of fun and very accommodating. Mr. Liu was a great driver in a nice car.
