Pontus – Sweden

Thank you for a fantastic day! Our guide and driver were amazing. We received a lot of interesting information and great tips. Our guide helped us with everything we needed and she was very knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English. Even though we were late at the wall, she wasn’t stressed and let us take all the time we needed. Thank you for your kindness! The food was also delicious! Everything was perfect!!!

We had an absolutely amazing experience thanks to our excellent tour guide, Albert, and our outstanding driver, Ms. Fu. Albert was incredibly knowledgeable - not only did he provide detailed information about all the sights we visited, but he also gave us fascinating insights into local life and society. He even went above and beyond by making an extra stop for a traditional tea ceremony, which was a highlight. And the lunch he arranged was hands down the best meal we had during our entire vacation! Ms. Fu was a fantastic driver - skilled, safe, and incredibly thoughtful. When we got caught in the rain without any gear, she generously provided us with raincoats. She was so kind and attentive throughout the day. We truly couldn’t recommend this team more highly. They made our trip unforgettable!

The Great Wall at Mutianyu was built and restored in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), on the remnants of a wall originally built in the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577). Reconstruction took place under the supervision of Xu Da, one of the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, who was responsible for building a Wall from Shanhaiguan in the east to as far as Mutianyu.

We had an amazing tour with our guide Andy and our driver Mister Han (great driver) ! Andy was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. We visited a fascinating ancient tomb and a smaller section of the Great Wall of China — both were incredible and not crowded, which made the visit even more special. Everything was well-organized and smooth. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and personal experience!
