The experience was great, not only for seeing the Great Wall of China, but also for the facilities and attention. After bad experiences with another tour guide from another agency. Magui, my tour guide was very attentive, she writes to you the day before, makes sure you know how to get to the site and does not hesitate to call you to explain. Very organized and very important, Magui speaks English very well. On other tours they don't speak it, but Magui does and it is appreciated that they explain everything to you. I would definitely go back with them. By the way, coming in winter is great, it is cold, yes, but there are few people so you enjoy it more and without queues.

Alvin was a great tour guide! He was very engaged and showed genuine interest in us. He made sure we got to the wall safely and were aware of all our options such as the chair lift and cable car. During the drive he provided us with some facts about the wall and how to best experience it. We highly recommend him.

Good experience! The meeting point was clear and easy to find, Maggie also was very kind and gave us all the information to enjoy our experience. Highly recommended
