Great Wall of China Tours & Trips
What if you explored China's Great Wall properly? Not just the touristy Badaling part, but hiking wild sections like Jiankou, staying near less-crowded areas. The Great Wall stretches thousands of kilometres - some sections are restored, others crumbling through mountains. You'll trek along actual wall rather than just visiting, camp nearby and experience this incredible structure beyond the day-trip crowds.

Overall, well done at a good (fast / limited downtime) pace. With maybe one or two activities that could've been skipped, the selection of included sites and activities was well-curated. Our travel guide, Cindy (English name), is very good at her job - organized, familiar with the itinerary, streamlines processes, answers questions, communicates clearly. Hotels were rather average with some hit-or-miss aspects (such as a few features not working at times, like AC.. but remedies provided). The price seemed fair, and the included eSIM worked perfectly.
