Our driver was John. He... - Our driver was John. He was fun and friendly, providing fun anecdotes along the way, through a translator app. There were eight of us in total in the vehicle. John provided us with a map and verbal instructions on where to go, through his translator app. The Visit to the Jinshanling Wall was outstanding. This was easily the best day of the holiday for me. It is very steep in places and quite a challenging climb / descent. However, there were not many tourists and the views were amazing. The only minor negative were the hawkers trying to sell souvenirs throughout the hike, but you get these everywhere.

Great! - It was perfect! We were only three travelers that day, so we have a car. The driver (charlie) was great: safe driving, super easy to contact via WeChat. Nothing to say, it was perfect

So this tour package! - Perfect tour - the driver was hilarious and very nice. Everything was on time. Really good package to walk scenic sections of the wall at your own pace and not have others in the group slowing you down. I missed the exit point which isn’t well signposted - however the part past the exit was beautiful and not crowded. It is worth walking past the exit and then turning back, but make sure you’re walking at a good pace so you don’t have to run back!

Incredible trip, low crowds - This tour included everything I needed and nothing more. It was unfortunate the driver couldn't speak any English though.

A nice trek to the untouched part . - Would recommend this tour if you prefer a hike in the untouched touristy part of the great wall . Was very quiet with unreal views & we had the wall to ourselves pretty much. Do the red section to east five window tower & continue on for another towers to the see the untouched section. Driver was nice & helpful !

Great 3 - 4 hour hike with spectacular views of the wall and mountains - Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Great part of the wall to hike and spectacular scenery from the wall. The driver, Zhang Feng, was real good and helpful. Easy directions and map provided meant you could take it at whatever pace you wanted or walk with the small group if you prefer.

Value for Money - Very straightforward tour and Jinshanling is superb! While going down from the east gate, I’ve experienced cramps but the driver met me in the middle of the hill to assist me.
