Emmanuel

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

Itinerary

No visit to China is complete without experiencing the grandeur of the Great Wall—and this four-day Great Wall Hiking tour adds a personal touch. Traverse both restored and unrestored sections near Beijing, enjoying peaceful mountain ridges and iconic landmarks like Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Off the wall, immerse yourself in village life and connect with local hosts for a deeper cultural perspective. This trip is perfect for those who prefer active sightseeing and authentic encounters, with the USP being its off-the-beaten-path hiking routes that reveal the Wall’s lesser-known, tranquil beauty.
