What a life changing experience that everyone has to see. Luci provided such a wonderful day for us that wouldnt have been possible on our own. Her and her professional driver picked us up and as we drove to the great wall, Luci provided us with some very interesting history and information. Once we arrived at the great wall she made for a worry free and great time. She did everything so we could enjoy the sights while also giving us info to have it come to life. we took a ski lift up and toboggan down which were amazing. the great wall brought to life by luci is everything and more that it is carved out to be. After the great wall she took us to a local country restaurant where we had fresh authentic fish and an amazing meal before we headed to the ming tombs. The ming tombs were great and we couldnt ask for more from this tour and Luci. Would recommend both 100 !!
This was a wonderful adventure. Got to see the countryside as well as walk on the great wall. Took the chairlift up and toboggan down which was exciting and fun. Had a lovely lunch at a local farmers restaurant on the way to the Ming Tours. Our guide and driver were both excellent.

We had the pleasure of being toured around the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs by Linda. She was very good at English, and thus her narrative, which was very informative on history and interesting anecdotes about Chinese culture and beliefs, was very easy to follow. Linda was very caring of myself and my mother who has some limitations in terms of how she can climb, how fast etc. Linda made sure that both me and my mother got what we wanted from the trip, assisting me with exploring the Great Wall a bit further, and making sure my mother was safe. Even though it says small group, we only were 2 people. Linda explained they normally only have a couple of people or so, given it will become more difficult to coordinate separate sub-groups when picking up, regathering from sites, etc. We got plenty of historical information from our guide, which was very useful and not always the case with guided tours. The driver was also excellent. He even returned the phone my mother left in his car after we called the phone and he picked up! Excellent service that goes the extra mile. Very happy and highly recommend this tour.
This was a fantastic tour.

The wall is truly amazing, our guide, Albert, took us along a part of the wall talking about its history, then he took lots of amazing photos of us on the wall before giving us some time to explore on our own.
After the great wall they took us for lunch and it is honestly one of the best meals I've ever had, Albert ordered for us, four delicious Chinese dishes, along with rice and tea.
Then onto the Ming tombs where Albert talked us through the history of he Ming tombs and some Chinese customs when visiting tombs.
Just a quick word about our guide Albert he was fantastic, no tour with him will be dull, great grasp of english and he goes out of his way to be accommodating. He was knowledgeable about the places we went and a joy to talk to.
If you manage to get him as a tour guide you are in great hands.

My boys and I loved our day with Coco and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was great having a guide who knew how to skip some of the busy parts to get us to quiet places where we could really enjoy our experience. We knew we'd love the wall but the Mind Tombs were just as fascinating and Coco's knowledge was just amazing. Coco shared her knowledge with us and drew us in on the history and fascination of the place. We would highly recommend this tour.
This was an excellent tour. Roy is an exceptional guide - he is very knowledable about and proud of Chinese history and communicates fluently in English in a way that is both highly informative and really interesting. We also had a really fine driver to take us to the sites.

The tour includes a tobaggan ride down from the Great Wall. I'm 59 years old, and despite some initial reluctance with the tobaggan concept , I found the ride to be really fun and not at all scary. The lunch stop was excellent - it was great Chinese food.
