James is always such a pleasant tour guide to have with us! He knows the routes, knows the history and has many local contacts to make the whole experience much easier and smoother. He is very generous with his time and knowledge. He's also flexible with people's varying fitness levels whilst keeping us on track and on schedule. I have enjoyed all my hikes with James! I'm very grateful to have him as a guide in the Beijing area! I'm happy to answer any questions about James and will definitely use his services again.

I had a blast with our tour guide James who was informative and friendly. The hike was at a perfect pace and length, capped off by a great lunch afterword. I could not have had a better time.

Kassy (office contact), James (tour guide), and David (driver) were all extremely attentive and responsive to our every need. Communication by text and email were flawless. James called us at our hotel the evening before our trek, just to make sure. We had a bit of food (water/ice) poisoning the day before, so we were extra needy trekkers, but James and the driver handled it all very well. True professionals! This section of the Great Wall was quite rustic (not renovated), but this gave us the feeling of a true backpacking, wilderness experience. The scenery is very picturesque. Some of the guard towers provided shade, which we appreciated on a hot day. No insects, or other hazards, to speak of. The provided lunch was nearby, and shortly after the trek. The restaurant staff were very nice, and sympathetic to our upset stomachs. They went out of their way to get us exactly what we felt like eating, and we were able to take away a doggie bag. Thanks to all... an unforgettable experience!
