We've lived in China for almost 3 years now and have gotten to the Great Wall other ways but once we discovered Irene we will choose her every time and recommend her to friends. Her English is great and her driving is smooth, safe and doesn't make us carsick (unlike most didi or taxi drivers here in China). Her car is spacious and comfortable.
Irene has a permit to drive right up to the entrance of the cable car. This is a huge bonus because otherwise you have to walk through a tourist street and queue for 15-45 minutes to take the shuttle bus up to the cable car entrance. She'll also help you buy your tickets for the wall and cable car so you don't have to wait in line. In the past, we've had other drivers who drop us at the park's main entrance and we had to wait in a longer line for tickets, walk a bit, wait in line for the shuttle bus and take the crowded shuttle bus ride up to the cable car entrance. With Irene, you could save over an hour and the headache figuring it all out.
Also this past time we were fortunate enough to see with Great Wall with SNOW! Irene still got us there safely even though it snowed earlier that morning.
