Very comfortable travel experience with Mr.Ping - Yesterday we went with Mr.Ping to see great wall at Jinshanling. It was a 2 hour drive, and although it was raining heavily in Beijing and on the way, Mr.Ping ensured us getting safe there. It is obvious that he is a very experienced driver. Additionally, he speaks English very well and explained history of Great Wall at Jinshanling and bought tickets for us while we were getting ready to go there. Overall, I am very happy that we were travelling with Mr. Ping, he was very attentive to our kids and took lots of pictures of our family.

Great experience! - Everything was excellent from start to finish. The wall was quiet and we got loads of photos and videos. Mr Ping is an amazing host, very entertaining and informative about whatever you need. He picked us up from the hotel and dropped us back in Beijing where we wanted to go. Couldn’t recommend more.

A wonderful trip to Jinshanling Great Wall - Mr. Ping picked our group up at the train station early in the morning, took us to our hotel to drop off luggage, and then drive us round trip to the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall. He was prompt and courteous. He also is fluent in Chinese and English. The price of the excursion was fair, and he was very reliable.
