About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- valerielO4476FP0 contributionsThank you Leo, we have the Most Amazing Beijing Trip!We have such a wonderful trip in Beijing. Our guide for the trip, Mr Leo, is simply Fantastic! He is so knowledgeable! We learnt so much from him and able to engage in meaningful conversation throughout the trip. He brought us to Gubeikou Great Wall and tracked with us through the most amazing hike. It was such a memorable experience. He also hiked with us through the sunset in Jinshanling Great Wall. The timing was perfect ! He was the most perfect photographer for our trip. The pictures taken were fantastic! Leo drove us to Cuandixia Ancient Village and we were able to experience the nuances of the local life here. We love the history & stories shared by Leo during our visit to The Forbidden City & Tiananmen. It's just amazing! Thanks Leo for driving us to the Tanzhe Temple. We were able to view the most beautiful autumn hues in the Ginkgo trees. Lastly, thank you for bringing to savour the most delicious Peking Duck, the most scrumptious hotpot and the most memorable local delicacy throughout the short trip. We love Beijing ! Thank you and blessed wishes to you and your beloved family!Written 18 November 2024
- Wanderlustnevergoes0 contributionsFantastic trip to see Great WallHad a wonderful time on my Great Wall trip to Mutianyu. The driver was very helpful and made it so easy, from being in hotel reception to collect me, to arranging for my cable car, toboggan and shuttle tickets, and making sure I could find him easily after I had left the Wall. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to go on this trip it was amazing!Written 9 November 2024
- H201LZmitchells0 contributionsBest tour ever, and highlight of our trip!My wife and I spent 3 weeks in China, and our time with Leo was the highlight of our trip! This was the best tour we ever had, anywhere in the world! The communication with him before the trip was excellent. The information on his website and videos on YouTube are great. The ride in his minivan was very comfortable. Talking with him made the long ride feel so short. His English is excellent, and his insights are so informative. We went on the private sunset tour to Gubeikou and Jinshanling Great Walls at the end of October, and both places were incredibly peaceful with no tourists-- we saw only 4 other people there. In between, we had a great lunch in a local restaurant. The hikes at sunset were incredible! Leo took many amazing professional quality photos of us—the best photos of our trip! We wish we had done other tours, to the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, with Leo. Next time we go to Beijing, we will do the overnight tour to the Great Wall with Leo. We made such a great connection with Leo that we invited him to stay with us in the US, and we hope he can do it. Our advice is to spend as much time as you can with Leo, and it will be the highlight of your trip to China.Written 3 November 2024
- MillionBash0 contributionsTerrific day trip to Great Wall with LeoWe had ann amazing experience with our guide Leo hiking the Gubeikou and Jinshanling sections of the Great Wall. Leo is very knowledgeable on where to go and when. Leo took care of everything, making the experience easy and stress-free. He also took great pictures of us during the journey for us to remember our trip. The Great Wall was well worth the visit!Written 12 October 2024
- marianK2533IQ0 contributionsIncreíble!Our guide Leo was the best! Unfortunately the weather didn’t agree with us, however Leo made the experience very enjoyable & helped us forget about the weather. Definitely worth it!Written 15 September 2024
- Alexander B0 contributionsHighlight of our Beijing visitThis was the highlight of our Beijing vacation and exceeded our expectations. Leo picked us up with a comfortable car at 11 AM at the hotel, so we had a relaxed morning. The drive is long (2-2.5 hour) but so worth it. We first went to the unrestored wall. It’s a bit of hike to go up, but very rewarding. There was no one else there, except a guard and at the end an other tourist climbed up. Next we went for a late lunch in a local restaurant, and had some great dishes and local beer. Then we went to a restored part of the wall - but as we came late, people were leaving when we arrived. The wall was amazing and only a few people left. We had asked for the optional bottle of wine and enjoyed the sunset with a glass of wine. This was a great memory. Leo is also a very nice guy, speaks English very well. I would highly recommend.Written 15 September 2024
- W8206RYamyg0 contributionsThe Great Wall Sunset Tour is amazing!The view is amazing especially during sunset. Our tour guide Adele is informative and attentive. I really enjoyed myself. It’s a must go!Written 15 September 2024
- torio2720 contributionsBest Great Wall Tour!Absolutely incredible!! If you're planning on seeing the Great Wall in China, look no further. This is THE BEST tour. Leo was a fantastic tour guide. We saw two different spots of the wall and hiked for about 3 hours in total. This is the best tour because you can see the Great Wall during both day time and sunset. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting China!!Written 11 September 2024
- 930lachlani0 contributionsAn amazing experience and tourAn incredible way to see the Great Wall. Private car pickup at our hotel and returned. Visiting two wonderful and different sections of the wall with very few tourists, we had the wall all to ourselves a lot of the day. Very friendly, helpful guide with many interesting stories to share about the history of the wall and China. Enjoyed the tasty authentic lunch. Absolutely recommend this!Written 20 August 2024
- Lucy W0 contributionsAmazing, no crowds, the real wall experienceAn amazing experience. Adele our host could not have been any better. Her English is brilliant, her driver was the best we had in Beijing. I struggled with the heat (34 degrees) but Adele let me take my time and crawl up and down the extremely steep steps in parts. Highly recommended especially if you don’t like crowds and want to see the real wall !!Written 2 August 2024
- MRodenhuis0 contributionsThe perfect trip to the Great WallWe had a trip of a lifetime to the Great Wall at Gubeikou and Jinshanling today. Not cheap but every bit as amazing as we had hoped and worth every penny. I have visited the sections at Badaling and Yuyongguan before but they were incredibly busy, commercialized and so perfectly restored that it felt like a Disneyland imitation. So I wanted a more authentic experience when visiting with my family this year. These sections are breathtakingly beautiful and we had it (almost) all to ourselves. And we were taken care of so well from beginning to end by Ricky at the office and David our knowledgeable and pleasant guide, as well as the driver. Highly recommended!!Written 17 July 2024
- Paul N0 contributionsWorth every penny!This was without doubt the most amazing experience. From the hotel pickup at 11.00am to the drop off at 10.00pm, every aspect of the tour was superb. Our guide Adele spoke perfect English, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone, but be aware, some of the steps are very steep and uneven.Written 20 June 2024
- fredhR5821OZ0 contributionsGreat Wall tour reviewThis has been one of the greatest experiences of my life! Leo was the best tour guide a person could ask for! I recommend him and his tour for anyone trying to get the best Great Wall experience!Written 17 June 2024
- 428yibinh0 contributionsThe BEST GUIDE in Beijing! 🌟Leo was superb! We had him for our great wall tour and he brought us to the famous Jin Shan Ling for an evening hike. It was raining and we almost gave up. But Leo encouraged us by telling us we will have the best view after the rain. He tried all ways to check on the weather forecast, which was totally out of his way, to ensure that we will have the best experience despite the adverse weather. It turned out to be the best view we have had, it was as if we were in a painting! This was probably the highlight of our entire trip. We took amazing family photos. Leo was encouraging, friendly and has good knowledge about the history of Great Wall. We had an absolutely amazing experience all thanks to Leo. I’d give him 10 stars if I could!Written 13 June 2024
- Leland S0 contributionsLeave the crowds to the touristsIf you love crowded tourist spots and a Disney like experience this is not the tour for you. But, if like us, you enjoy a more authentic experience then I highly recommend this tour. The first stop was a section of the wall with minimal restoration done and almost no one else there. It was about a 20min hike up to the wall and from there we walked for almost 2 hours traversing the wall until we looped down to our starting point. We saw maybe 4 other people the entire time. It was very enjoyable. We had lunch at a local restaurant which was really good. The bok choy was amazing. We then went to what would normally be a crowded tourist location but because this was the late afternoon portion of the trip there were very few people there - maybe a dozen. I can only imagine how crowded it was earlier in the day - a place with a gondola. The hike up was about 20min and you definitely want to be ready for climbing some steps. The views were well worth it. Last but not least, our guide Leo really made it all the more exceptional. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the wall and China in general. He has a great sense of humor and we talked about many more things than just the wall. He’s also a pretty good photographer. :)Written 9 June 2024

Tony was awesome. We were there for Golden Week so unfortunately traffic was even worse than usual. Knowing that the traffic would be busy he arranged to start the tour earlier so we could make the most of our day and night. We forgot our cable to charge the Go Pro and he even made a stop so we could buy one. He found every way to get us to our destination by driving us through short cuts in town, modifying our tour so we could stay on course and still see both parts of the Great Wall and catch the sunset. Although I wasn’t as prepared as I thought with the heat and the climbing, Tony was very patient and helpful. He even carried my purse for me while walking the Great Wall. He offered to take many photos of us and spoke English well. He’s an excellent tour guide!

Choices, Choices, which operator, which tour!!?? Based on reviews & opting for the sunset scene, luck or planning, I couldn't of chosen any better. Timely coordinated to miss the hordes of queues, combining 2 mesmerising locations in 1 day, Leo offers much more than his happy, patient personality and planning. Bringing his own camera and set of photography skills, which allows you to focus more on the scenery. Such a personal touch that over rides all other tour companies I have ever taken. You will not be disappointed !!

We did a 1-day private tour with Leo. Everything was perfect. Great english, very knowledgeable guide, we didn't queue for anything, we learned a lot about China's history and culture.
The hiking with the sunset and the red wine was perfect, being there with nobody else enjoying the view was for sure one of the best experiences we ever had.
I would recommend anyone going to Beijing to do a trip with Leo.
Thanks Leo, this was something we will never forget!

Leo was an excellent guide! Travel, pickup, and drop-off was very smooth and easy. The parts of the wall that he took us to were great- one very pristine, restored area and one off the beaten path, by the water where we were the only people. He went above and beyond with a drone video and was able to provide great historic information to go along with the tour. I would definitely do it again!

Very interested in this tour option. We (3 people)will be in Beijing onOctober 23rd and would like to visit both sites and take the toboggan ride down. Maybe the gondola up for 1 person. The reviews saying how great Leo is and how he
also uses his drone to get photos us also what attracts us to your tour. I am a freelance travel writer and while I will be taking my own photos and video, I cannot bring my drone with me. Is there a way to ensure that Leo can be our guide?
Also, we know that China has indicated their intent to limit visitors to the Great Wall. Will this be an issue??
Thank you so much in advance!
