Mr.Ping from Leo’s private tour is great.

Mr.Ping from Leo’s private tour was well worth it. He is informative and entertaining, and the wall at Jinshanling section of the wall is a perfect place to experience this amazing and legendary wall.

This private guided tour made a huge difference when we visited Beijing

Published on Apr, 2024

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!

Excellent choice for those who like to take photos without people.

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.
