Great Wall, great tour

5 - Excellent

Anonymous

“Walking the Great Wall is a great tour with a good mix of activities. I go on theses trips to do some good trekking, but it is also nice to see the important tourist sites in Beijing. What is nice about this itinerary is that you do Beijing, spend time away and then finish in Beijing giving you a nice balance and not spending too much time in the big city. The guesthouses are a unique experience and are run by the nicest people I have ever come across. I highly recommend the Xi'an extension as the Terracotta Warriors are a must see, and Xi'an itself is very different with a lot of charm and character.”

Walking The Great Wall, October 2014

Anonymous

“A fantastic experience, and amazing to see the wall snaking away into the distance as far as the eye could see. Certainly a worthy inclusion in any list of the Worlds' man made wonders. Very well worth adding the Xian extension to see the Terracotta Warriors and the city itself.”

China - Walking the Great wall plus Xian extension

5 - Excellent

Anonymous

“The trip was well organised and was as described in trip notes. Any changes to itinerary were made by the group leader and as for example our early visit to Tiananmen Square and the forbidden Palace were excellent choices because of the timing of the trip and National Day!!! The accommodation was generally as described in the trip notes but home stay was quite basic and cold!!! The Qing Feng Hotel was very basic and the food not up to the standard of other accommodation. One of our best lunches was at the farm on day 5. The extension to Xian was well organised but again extremely busy which made it very difficult to feel the full impact of the site. The over night train journey fine but quite and experience!”

The prime seasons for embarking on China adventure tours are during Spring (April to June) and Autumn (September to November). It is advisable to steer clear of the summer months (June to August), as numerous areas experience elevated temperatures and high humidity levels.
Pack sturdy hiking shoes, weather-suited attire and essential adventure equipment like waterproof bags and sun protection to ensure comfort and safety.
Prioritize safety by wearing proper gear, following guides and adhering to rules. Get insurance covering adventure activities and keep emergency contacts handy.
Carry some cash for conducting transactions in rural areas.
