Helen was an excellent guide. We were not rushed at all. She showed us good picture spots and we had enough time to enjoy. We were not late for anything and she was considerate of our experience. Admission fee was included in the ticket so it was very convenient. Crowd was less too. Solo people can make good friends. The atmosphere was wonderful.

Helen is the sort of person that immediately sets a friendly and heartwarming amosphere . Looking after the bunch in a professional manner, presenting an overview of Chinese history and making the buildings come alive with vivid anecdotes, Helen never once lost the group’s interest. With a guide like that it is no great wonder that gripping cohesion forms in a matter that makes you feel that you’ve been along old friends all along. I can warmly recommend a tour with her as your guide. I find it hard to imagine that you could be at all disappointed. My warmest recommendation.

The tour was exceptional, It exceeded our expectations. The constant communication from the booking to tour guide, Helen. Nothing was a surprised before, during and after every stop of the tour. The itinerary was on point, timely and most importantly the care Helen showed for each of us in her group. In addition she’s so knowledgeable of the history and answered all of my questions. She even offer to take pics of these unique experiences for my mom and I. Thank you Helen! Keep up the good work and continue to share knowledge!

I’m so pleased I booked this tour. Helen was informative, engaging, and thorough. Although we covered a lot of ground, the pace was comfortable, and we never felt exhausted. It was a wonderful day — highly recommended!

My wife, granddaughter and I accompanied Bruce our guide to the Great Wall of China and the day left us speechless after experiencing a 3 hour hike across what is just awe inspiring in terms of beauty and size. Bruce shared his very comprehensive knowledge of the history of the Wall as well as being the best photographer we could have had alongside us. Thank you Bruce for helping us enjoy what is one of our lifetime experiences. It was worth the drive to Jinshanling and we all would recommend it. 🥳🥳

Jinshanling Great Wall was stunningly wonderful and absolutely magnificent on the sunny day, and guide Mary (who is believed to attract good weather conditions 🙂) walked us along the wall from small Jinshanling tower till Brick Crenel, almost a dozen towers on the way, showing the variety of tower types. We've experienced both a cable car up, and then a shuttle bus and beautiful descdending path at the end. There aren't many people on Monday even in the afternoon, but still from time to time you meet other tourists enjoying the views.
