Perfect pickup in hotel front lobby by our guide of the day, Kevin. And waited only a few minutes for the wonderful car to pick us up.
With his Chinese English, Kevin, started his information flow about the areas we were driving through from our central placed hotel.
Absolute greatest move, Kevin did that day was to take a reverse tour. Started in the morning at the Sacred way with almost no people around, followed by the Ming Tombs and still almost no people. After this we went to Badaling and most people had left and the wall experience was therefor also very exclusive and not crowed.
Note for people that don’t like traditional cable cars - this is the place, the way up with the rail cable train, was perfect.
After a Great Wall experience and Kevins added info the trip back to the hotel started and only interrupted by a 3 min. quick stop beside the road to a distant view to Birds Nest and info about the following drive by photo shoot opportunity of the Birds Nest.
After this we were safely back at our hotel.
The car and driver was luxury only downside was that on the way back from the wall they seemed to be in a hurry and did some serious hazardous overtakings.
