Day Hikes on the Original Great Wall of China

"We had decided to explore the great Wall in a way that was challenging and possibly away from the most common tourists routes. This was the right choice! An energetic hike up and down sections of the old and renovated parts the wall, beautiful scenery with the lake in the background, and no other tourists in the vicinity. The day was completed by an amazing lunch at a very authentic restaurant in the countryside. Excellent choice if you are in good shape and want to explore the great wall off the beaten path. "

"The mountain range is beautiful enough on its own to go hiking in, and the Great Wall was even more impressive than I'd imagined. Great Wall Adventure Club helped me to have a great experience on the wall, with easy pick-up and drop-off, great meals, and hikes in relatively quiet parts of the wall. My guide Aaron knew the wall very well, and was able to take us to areas that were challenging but feasible, and very quiet."

" If there was a sixth star, Oliver and the entire team of Great Wall Adventure Club would have earned it for this wonderful day hike on the Great Wall of China.

The overall booking process was more than perfect and the team did everything within their power to provide all necessary information and support not only for the tour itself, but also for my overall stay in Beijing, which was only for 48 hours as a stopover following a Tasmania trip. The tour guide Oliver even helped me with pre-registration for the Forbidden City, which I visited the day before the Great Wall tour."
