I felt like Joe was hard to understand but the Wall and the experience was great. Five stars to Joe for taking us up via the funicular tram (everyone agreed to pay extra for it) because it made the walk extremely easy and there was hardly anyone on that section of the Wall. We had 2 hours to explore on our own. Then we went to the jade factory was a sales ploy but it was also educational. The buffet lunch was just OK. The Ming Tombs were pretty cool.

Perfect day with a great group of strangers, who are now new friends, and tour guide Jenny who managed every detail to make the day perfect. She went above and beyond in every way to make it the best possible experience for everyone in the group. Memorable trip and would book it again in a heartbeat.

Our guide Murphy was fantastic. He gave us all the information we needed and helped us to seemlessly navigate the various checkpoints. He also offered extra valuble information and guidance on Beijing in general and Chinese culture. I would have liked to have spent a bit longer on the wall and would have been happy to forgo one of the other activities to have the time to travel to one of the less busy sections but overall the experience was very very good. Thank you Murphy!

Murphy is a warm and friendly tour guide who has an extensive knowledge of the Great Wall of Badaling. I was very comfortable in his company.

We went to the Great Wall, Ming Tumb, Tea store and have a little detour to the Bird Nest. Mary was very energetic and very kind to answer all our questions. She is very funny, laughs will be all along the day

Mary did an excellent job showing us around, through the best and less crowded routes. She is very knowledgeable, responsible, took care of everyone from our group, and also was aware of top spots for pictures. Also she’s very nice and funny, so we had a few laughs as well, making everything perfect. I completely recommended her!
