We are a family of five with three children aged 6, 14 and 17. We booked a private tour in Beijing with our excellently Knowledgeable and professional guide Snow. She gave us so much insight into the different places we visited and it made a whole difference in understanding everything. She interacted patiently and kindly with our boys. That was very important to us that they would not get bored. She also gave us recommendations on what else to see and visit in Beijing. The local restaurant she recommended us was super delicious and she made sure that the people working there understood us. Definitely 100% recommendable. Ask for Snow when you book a tour with Leo. The next day Our English speaking driver Bibber took us to the Jinshanglin Great Wall section to avoid the big crowds, especially during the long weekend of the Tomb Sweeping Holiday Qingming. It was much further away but all worth it. The scenery was awe dropping and even though there were a lot of people it was all manageable and definitely much better than Mutianyu or Badaling. We enjoyed our over 2 hour walk a lot and were especially happy about the blossoming peach trees around us. Bibber was very friendly and communicative. Absolutely recommendable!

Jinshanling great wall is 2h30 away by car from Beijing City. I visited there at end of January. I was amazed there was nobody visiting there. I encountered only one Chinese family during my whole hike! The east gate is closed during winter season, so the total distance you could hike could be shorter than in Summer(4km approx), but even though, being able to enjoy the great views without anybody was priceless experience. My driver Mr. Ping spoke very good English and made sure that I enjoyed the visit. I'd like to thank him.

Great day out. Our driver Peter, had limited English, but was incredibly helpful with tickets and making sure everything ran smoothly for us. We were in Beijing on business in the winter, but had all our cold weather gear and had the Great Wall virtually to ourselves in December -3C temperatures. The wall at Jinshanling is awe inspiring and just takes your breath away seeing it climb into the distance on the steep and picturesque Simatai section. In the distance. We did a nice loop up onto the wall and covered a couple of kms before heading down a nurture trail. The organiser, Leo gave great info and communication and was immediately on the case to help with any issues. Great service all round.

Experience was amazing, this section is less crowded and has some original parts of the Wall. In the low season I was the only one in the wall, had time to appreciate it. Driver Peter Wu very friendly, helped with tickets and including offered food in the return.
