We had a 14 hour stay in Beijing, for transit to New Zealand. As the inner city seamed kind of unspectacular, we decided to book a trip to the wall. And this was the best decision we could make.

We had a 14 hour stay in Beijing, for transit to New Zealand. As the inner city seamed kind of unspectacular, we decided to book a trip to the wall. And this was the best decision we could make. In the price included is a private driver, the wall entrance fee and the shuttle bus ticket to the wall, as private cars aren't allowed to drive there directly. Our Driver Shane picked us up right at the exit of the baggage area. He is a really lovely guy, who speaks English perfectly, gives a lot of tips and loves to answer questions about China etc. Arriving at the wall tourism centre after a 1,5 hour drive, he accompanied us all the way. He even walked all the stairs up to the wall with us, to take some pictures from us. After that he gave us the opportunity, to explore the wall on our own. We stayed on the wall for about 1 5 hours. When we walked down the stairs back to the wall tourism center, we met him again and he drove us back, directly to our departure terminal. This trip was worth any penny, thanks to the hilarious driver Shane. Thanks a lot!I truly did not expect to have that great of a time in China. I was initially excited but after a long plane ride, I was very tired from a two week vacation with my partner I was just plain worn out. Our tour guide Michael brought my energy back.

I truly did not expect to have that great of a time in China. I was initially excited but after a long plane ride, I was very tired from a two week vacation with my partner I was just plain worn out. Our tour guide Michael brought my energy back. He was funny personable and took pictures that my boyfriend and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. He saved the day for us and made the great wall and experience I’ll never forget. We recommend this tour highly. Great experience.This tour was just what I was looking for: an opportunity to see a great historical wonder in the very short time I had in Beijing. Everything was easy.

This tour was just what I was looking for: an opportunity to see a great historical wonder in the very short time I had in Beijing. Everything was easy. I booked the tour super last minute but it still went smoothly. Shane was great, and his English was excellent. There wasn't any question I had that he couldn't answer. One thing I would suggest is to remember to take out cash or exchange money at the airport since you will need it for the cable car and food/souvenirs.It was a great experience overall. We did not have much time, but they still managed to take us to see the Great Wall. We had a very safe drive, very clean car with bottles of water and tissue paper available.

We had a very safe drive, very clean car with bottles of water and tissue paper available. We had a great conversation on the way there and back, very good English! And we had an awesome time at the Great Wall! Thank you Tony, you rock! ☺It was great to have the driver waiting for us when we arrived.

It was great to have the driver waiting for us when we arrived. We took longer than expected at the 24hr visa line, but the driver was waiting with a sign as soon as we got out. You don't have to worry about anything since the driver is so experienced. He'll get parking, your tickets, explain how to get up/down from the attractions. I would reccomend to anyone who wants to be sure that they are able to see the wall on their own schedule.Overall the service was good and on time. But the driver knew very very very English. We went in mid December and it was good that they provided coats, you'll need them! Our pickup from the airport was at 7am and returned back to the airport at 2pm. However, we could have ended earlier or stayed ...
Overall the service was good and on time. But the driver knew very very very English. We went in mid December and it was good that they provided coats, you'll need them! Our pickup from the airport was at 7am and returned back to the airport at 2pm. However, we could have ended earlier or stayed later if we wanted to. Had a great time and would use the service again in the future!
