Incredible hike through time! - Book it! I booked a solo tour on my last day in Beijing. Not awkward at all - spending the day hiking with Peter is like spending the day with a dear friend. Peter knows the terrain extremely well and adjusts for your pace, level, and tolerance for adventure! I got to see parts of the Wall most people don’t - and venture across less traveled ruins where you won’t see a single other person into the more maintained and busier section. It was hard, scary at times, and one of the best things I’ve ever done. And Peter made sure to take tons of photos of the experience. This was the best way to see the Wall. Thanks for a perfect day!!

Experience the wall in solitude - Not to miss trip to see unrestored parts of the Wall, amazing views, very good & friendly guide who clearly knows the way and can navigate this part safely. Provided water, walking sticks and a lovely lunch in a local restaurant. Car & driver are excellent as well. Don’t attempt it alone - need to navigate the woods & avoid closed off & dangerous sections of the wall as local gvt is blocking access.

Amazing experience! - I had an amazing experience taking this private hiking tour. I didn't want to go only to the typical tourist spots. So this tour is the perfect combination because you start in the most pristine zone of Jiankou and end up in Mutianyu, where you can take the cable car to go down. I was a bit anxious about the intensity of the hike, but I can confirm that it is completely doable. The first section of Jiankou was my favourite part; we really had the Wall for ourselves. My guide, Peter, was funny and experienced and since I was travelling by myself, he was very kind, offering to take some pictures. Worth every single penny.

Must do tour! - We were picked up in a beautiful electric vehicle. Peter the guide was conversant in English and Chinese, talked about the history of the Great Wall and life in China in general. It was a 2hrs ride to the start of the trek. It’s off the usual route so we had to hike through a forested area. First 40mins was tough as we hiked up the side of the steep mountain, fortunately hiking poles were provided. Peter was patient and attentive stopping for short breaks on the ascent. Once we reached the top there’s a makeshift ladder to climb, felt like the mongols invading. Million dollar view at the top and we were the only peeps there. The “wild” side of the Great Wall is simply magnificent, desolate and beautiful. Slowly trek across the wild side to civilization. At one point we had to climb up the side of the wall to join the tourist part of the wall. That’s when it becomes a drag going up and down stairs together with the hundreds of tourist to our end point. Had lunch at a quaint restaurant with tasty dishes, followed by 1.5hrs ride back to hotel. Above average level of fitness required. Highly recommend this tour, probably the highlight of our Beijing trip.

Amazing Views and Great Guide. - Jason was a great guide, and the walk was well worth it! Went while it was very cold, but this meant the views were spectacular from the top! Going along the more abandoned parts of the wall was so much fun, and was a lot more unique and interesting than the restored parts. You do get to see the restored parts at the end of the walk as well.

Unforgettable moment with our guide James - Unforgettable moment with our guide James. We have booked the tour over the unrenovated great wall with 6km hiking. The hike is strenuous and should not be underestimated. The ascent is harmless, as is the hike over the great wall, but the descent with its thousands of steps absolutely guarantees sore muscles. But the tour is worth it, standing alone on the unrenovated Great wall is priceless. The guide James and our driver were just top over the top. Very nice and companionable and the food afterwards divine❤️❤️❤️❤️.. We are still raving about this and the tour. We can only recommend this tour operator to over 199% and would book with them. Everything was perfect from the booking to the contact before and during and after the tour it was the highlight of our Beijing trip
