Up and Down on The Great Wall A great trip, which opens the eyes and the mind to the achievement that is the great wall. Hard work but gratifying. There is no other way to put it into context other than to "climb" and see for yourself.
Our tour in Beijing was exceptional! Kevin (our tour guide) met us at our hotel early and got us into our tour quickly. Kevin was an engaging and warm guide, with great knowledge of the forbidden city and Chinese history, adding lots of detail and stories to make the day exciting and informative. We had a good trip to the Great Wall and several hours to walk the wall and spend time taking in such a magnificent modern wonder.
Great Country, Great Guide, Great Wall The trip was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. The walking is good. There are a lot of steps and some uneven sections but the distances and days aren't particuarly long. Most days we had a late lunch on arrival to our accomodation.There's plenty of opportunities for seeing the culture and taking part in other activities e.g a chinese massage, an acrobatics show, tea taasting, visiting temples etc.
