Amazing journey! - I truly recommend Bruce. I was with him on the Mutianyu Great Wall during my layover. I got perfect information about The Wall, China, local community, food, traditions and much more! Also he helped me get really nice photo! Worth much more than the service cost! If you have free 8 hours don’t w8 just contact Bruce and enjoy the adventure! Mateusz

Great Wall Adventures! - Truly an amazing experience! I would highly recommend going on the tour, everything was perfect from the start of the trip. There was no crowd at the time we arrived which made the experience that much better.

Great Wall Mutianyu (Mark) - Mark was a great guide. Extremely friendly and helpful in our requests. Able to communicate both in English and Mandarin. Went the extra mile to get a list of top tourist destinations / restaurants for us. Would highly recommend his services!

Fantastic Experience with Mark - Thank you! - Mark was really friendly and nice. I was on a business trip to Beijing and had a few extra days, so I booked this tour for just myself. It was completely awesome and Mark gave me a chance to see one of the most incredible sites in China (and the world) at a very special time of day... He came directly to my hotel and was waiting for me in the lobby, we hopped in the car and made it with plenty of time to see the sunrise. It wasn't a big trek to the top of the wall where we could see the sunrise, and the weather was a bit hazy (as is normal for this area), but still absolutely a beautiful time of day. Do not hesitate to book with Mark, you won't regret it!!

Amazing morning, excellent driver - Martin, and worth waking up early! - I wrote to Mark the afternoon before I planned to depart China, to see if I could do an early morning Great Wall tour before my international flight. Mark got back to me right away with some options to suit my schedule. I opted for the sunrise tour of the unrestored Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall - it was fantastic. I was all alone to enjoy the sunrise and the wall, and afterwards, with some spare time, headed towards the Mutianyu section. Because it was still very early, I saw fewer than 10 people on the wall during my walk, and could enjoy the views and the nature without the crowds. Martin, my driver, walked up the very long (maybe 800 steps??) staircase to the wall with me, just to take my picture for me :). I highly recommend this company and Martin - throughout the entire booking, tour, and drop off to the airport the team was professional, courteous, accommodating, and fun. I would book them again, no question.
