This was the most incredible trip. Our guide, Oli (Luo) was fabulous. His English was excellent, he had a great sense of humour and he was extremely knowledgeable about all of the places we walked and visited. My fellow travelling companions were great and we enjoyed each other’s company. The views were amazing as was the food and I fell in love with China and its people and have memories I will treasure. Don’t forget your toilet roll or mosquito spray.

Walking on the Great Wall far exceeded my expectations. The photos in magazines do not compare to the magnitude of actually seeing the Wall in person as it extends for hundreds of miles in many directions spanning numerous ridges. It is an engineering marvel. My guide, Olly was outstanding. His knowledge, sense of humor and overall company contributed to my excellent experience on this trip. If you decide to walk the Great Wall of China, you will not be disappointed.
