“The tour of the Great Wall with our guide Justin was perfect from start to finish. We were picked up right on time and enjoyed a comfortable three-hour drive to the Jinshanling section of the Wall. Complimentary water was provided, and Justin answered every question we had. He was incredibly friendly and took care of all the organization, so we could simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the day. The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall was wonderfully quiet and peaceful during our visit (on a Monday), offering stunning views of both the Wall and the surrounding nature. We can absolutely recommend this tour!”

“Amazing tour! Guide was easy to talk to, she spoke English well, and was very professional. Tour met on time and I was picked up a nice van. Bottled water was provided throughout the day. Even the driver was friendly. We saw all the sites mentioned. The guide did a great job of going into detail about the history of Beijing and China history, and the various sites. She knew the small places to meet that were away from other tour groups or in the shade. She used a microphone with ear pieces for each of us, so we could always hear her without being right next to her. The…”

Peter was our tour guide, he made this experience more than just a tourist accomplishment. Peter is very knowledgeable about the great wall and Chinese history, I felt like I gained incredible insight into Chinese traditions and culture by having him there.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 54 reviews · from $120

5-hour Dragon’s Back hike from Shau Kei Wan to Big Wave Bay. Ridge views, forest paths, beach time to swim, guide-led pace.

“This was my second hike in HK but not my favorite. Dragon's Back itself is lovely but an easy hike - mostly a walk with a few inclines here and there. If you are in decent shape this will not be challenging. Also - whatever you do - DO NOT GO ON THE WEEKEND! It was so crowded that at multiple points in the hike we were literally walking in a long line with other people. Loud talking all around. Passing people on the trail. If I had gone on a weekday I would have enjoyed this much more. There are some amazing views and photo ops. We were lucky…”
