This section of the wall was amazing! I loved that it wasn't crowded and was surrounded by beautiful mountains and trees. Not only do you get the history of this place, you get to experience walking the wall itself. Entry is well organized, chairlifts and a 1, 500-meter Tobaggon to come down on, flushing toilets with toilet paper available at the entrance to the toilets rather than in the cubicles. There are souvenir shops and restaurants on site too. 6 hours well spent!

We stopped over on our trip to Europe. We usually stop over in Dubai or Singapore but I am so glad we didn't this time. Our guide, Hai was really great. We let them know the times of our flights but we had no way of contacting them after which is always a worry when you book a tour like this. We needn't have worried, everything went so smoothly and we were on our way to see Beijing in no time. In such a short space of time, we learned so much! Hai was super knowledgeable and a really relaxed person to be around. The Great Wall was just incredible - I can't even describe in words how awestruck we were. All in all, this was absolutely fantastic. A big thank you to Hai and the team for making this such a memorable day.

<p>Wow, visited the Great Wall and what an experience. Seeing the wall disappearing into the distance is just amazing. We walked up from the entrance and is amazing how steep it is and hot they built it in such a place. Well worth a visit a must do tour. </p>

PERFECT. We booked this tour with Private Tour and had THE PERFECT DAY. The guide was both knowledgeable and friendly and it was a great end to our vacation. If you are in China you really have to go out and see the Great Wall.
- Jackson · AU2019-07-09Traveler review
Absolutely amazing experience- I would make sure that you are not afraid of heights before embarking on this journey. You can spend as little as half a day here or take a full day to roam around the wall. Would recommend to Wear comfortable shoes as there at a lot of steps, some higher than others! There’s a trabogan that goes down the wall to make the journey back more interesting.

- Ned · GB2019-05-28Traveler review
My sister and I were at first concerned as we are in our late fifties and we were worried about how much walking was involved. We were delighted that our guide took this into account and we had many breaks for coffees!
