Awesome guide, and such a fabulous experience - We had a fabulous day with Joe - a private tour of the Forbidden City, Lunch and then the Great Wall. Joe was so informative and interesting, with so many unique stories across the day and different sites. Getting around Beijing is quite challenging as a foreigner and Joe and his driver made it seamless.

Amazing Great Wall Tour with Joe - Joe took us on a tour that went over part of the wall that was almost entirely empty. We passed just a few groups on the walk, and covered over a mile of the wall. We started with a hike up to the wall, much more fun than just starting at an easy spot. Joe was so knowledgeable about the history of the wall, and was able to answer all our random Chinese cultural and historical questions. We had lunch on the way back to Beijing. Joe picked out 3 amazing dishes and the food was outstanding. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a private or group tour of the Wall. He picked us up at our hotel, and had water for the hike. He really thinks of everything!

Tailored Service - My mom and I booked the trip in August 2018. Our guide Tim met us at the hotel and we set off on time to the wall. Tim was very careful and caring towards us. He noticed that my mom was struggling up the wall and offered an easier route for her. (Please note that you have to be really fit to climb up to the wall!) I carried on with Tim while the driver took my mom to the last end point of the wall. During the hike, Tim followed my pace and was really encouraging even though I was struggling. He also told me many facts and features about the wall while climbing and during the breaks. He noticed that I didn’t have any mosquito repellant and offered me his. He also called the driver to ensure that my mom was alright at the end of the hike, which helped to ease my worries. At the end of the hike, we had a really tasty lunch at a local place and was sent back to the hotel. Would definitely go again after more physical training on my end!

Wonderful Great Wall visit with Joe - Joe took us to a part of the wall that was almost empty of other visitors. We passed a handful of locals who were walking the wall and maybe 5 other tourists. It was a vigorous hike up through old trails, then walked for an hour or so along the Wall with Joe telling us about the history, significance, and design. He was able to answer our questions and kept it interesting. On the trip back, the lunch was amazing. It was a local spot where Joe ordered (with a little input on what we would/wouldn't eat) and we tried a few different options. He was right on time to pick us up at the hotel. His van was clean and he had plenty of water for the hike. I would recommend Joe to anyone, and if I make it back to tour the Wall again, I will use him again.

Awesome Tour with Peter - Beautiful and lonely section of the Great Wall of China. This section is perfect if you want to take beautiful pictures without any further people. The environment with the lake and the mountains is just fantastic. At the beginning the section of the wall is unrestoriert and later it runs over to a restorierten part. Please notice, that the ascent is challenging at the beginning and you need to have a good basic fitness. To the procedure: A few days before the trip I had asked if it is possible to book the tour with sunset. The answer came quickly and was yes, so I was punctually picked up at 11a.m. at my hotel. The return was at around 7 p.m. It was the best decision to see the wall at sunset, because this atmosphere is even more special. Peter my guide for the day was great, very polite and courteous. He always looked that I was fine and answered all my questions. He has known a lot about the wall and also about China and its history in general. He is also a fantastic photographer and took great pictures of me on the wall, so I'll never forget that trip. If you book the tour alone it is expensive, but for my it was worth every penny and I can recommend it to 100%. Thanks to Peter and the Untouched Great Wall Hike :)

Fantastic guided hiking tour with Tim from the South! - We had an amazing, perfect in fact, hiking tour on the Great Wall with Tim from the South. The trip and the view itself is so good that it just has to be experienced! Tim is a great guide, he speaks fluent English, has great humor and lots of interesting knowledge about the Great Wall and it’s history. When in Beijing, this trip is a MUST!

Incredible Great wall with Tim - sensational hike. Tim was professional and very knowledgeable. He was able to not only conduct the trek but also answer questions. Great photo opps all the way. You need to have a certain minimum fitness but Tim wont rush you. He is very patient. All in all I had a great time.....

This was the "real thing", the true Great Wall - The hike would be worthwhile even without the Great Wall: nice mountains covered in chestnut tree forests. But, on top of that, the Great Wall with the expected scars from time. Not the "theme-park" wall from others places. Here, only us and a few local visitors. Very pleasant. In addition, all the explanations from the guide were excellent. Finally I understood how the Wall worked.
