Great Wall of China Tour Companies

It was just great! Booking through Tourradar super convenient and the travel agency as well were really helpful and responsive. The tour itself was packed with activities and the guides did a great job. Can highly recommend the tour and the agency. Will definitly continue to book through tourradar since it so convenient!

I found both the program and the tour guide on site very good. Everything was very well organized and the tour guide was very well informed, helpful and friendly.

I really enjoyed the tour but it did cause some disappointment that the Great Wall was taken out of my itinerary and moved to a day after we would have departed. 5 of us had the extra expense of hiring a private vehicle and going without our guide and group- this caused confusion with buying the tickets because of the language barrier so we ended up paying twice for a ticket too. I was also looking forward to spending the night on Song Shan mountain which was changed. Alex my tour guide was fantastic and I still had a great experience but do think that such a key landmark such as the Great Wall should definitely not be changed because that was one of the main reasons for me booking the tour and it ruined it a bit at the start. I love that G adventures provide good opportunities for travellers to really experience the culture and I this is also a reason why I this was the second time I booked with G adventures. Thank you

I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it! It was my first time taking part in one of those. I was travelling on my own and it was a great opportunity to meet people and share activities with them. Our guide Tom was very competent, super nice, attentive to our needs and fun. We also had many occasions to get his insider perspective about life in China. His presence was essential in getting to understand the local culture and getting around since most people we encountered didn't speak much English. The only thing to be considered while planning would be the extra cost encountered by the optional activities. That being said, I really recommend them as they were all a lot of fun and the best way to discover and experience China without any of the organizational hassle. Also, G Adventures need to update a few details about changes in the itinerary for the trip (e.g. faster trains replace most overnight trains).

This trip was excellent value for money. An interesting and varied itinerary which gave a look at 4 different cities and the major highlights. The guides were excellent, especially Michael in Beijing, Joy in Xi’an and Jolie? In Chengdu. They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I recommend them highly. At most sites there was no waiting in long queues and they gave excellent background information and advice on best viewing spots etc. Accommodation in general was excellent except for the very hard mattresses at the Mercure in Beijing. All locations were quite central and within walking distance of cafes, shops. Some expectations for the pick up drivers needs to be looked at. Our driver was not there to pick us up at the train station in Xi’an or the one at the airport in Shanghai. This was disappointing and caused us some angst on an otherwise very enjoyable trip.

Honestly one of the best tours that i could have gone on in china. I didn't want to travel through china on my own and so this tour went to all of the places that i wanted to go to and did everything on my list. i had multiple tour guides on this trip, all of which were very well preserved in English as well as their own native language. They made sure that i had transportation and that i was at the train station on time as well as the airports. They were at each station waiting for me and were very kind and knowledgeable. overall i really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend this tour

Quite excellent organization of our trip! Prompt feedback on questions and an absolute all-round carefree package that helped us have an unforgettable travel experience.

Shopping stops were too long and a waste of time (eg silk factory). Only 2 hours at the Great Wall was not enough not give the relevance to the place. That was a dissapointment

The tour was absolutely incredible. Every day the hiking was so different and the wall incredible. The food was excellent. Accommodation is basic but that is all part of the experience.

The trip exceeded expectations. Our guide in Beijing was exemplary and shared with us so many aspects about his culture and history. The range of activities was far reaching and the ability to appreciate two cities (we did the Xian extension) together with the rural aspects of China was appreciated.

I had a wonderful time on this trip, as everything went smoothly, with so many different experiences and a fantastic tour director. Others in the group were friendly and great company. I can't fault the whole tour and would highly recommend it (and Globus) to others looking for a high quality experience.

We took an expensive China tour with Globus/Avalon and it was the worst tour I have ever taken. They were unprepared. Also the things they promised were not delivered. The tour director talked about tips more than the tour. As far as customer support, they did not return calls and still have not responded to my requests even though we have been back five weeks.

Excellent guide Jacky Zhan: patient, knowledgable and tireless. Very good itinerary. Affordable price! Not all the accomodation of the same quality. Breakfast should be a basic standard in tours like this.

Loved it Jerry the main dude was great

Frank was an excellent guide who really made the trip. The sites were all amazing and we had just the right amount of time to see them. The only disappointment was Hong Kong but that was not the fault of Explore.

Three different weather zones, try to pack light!

It was very nice, I recomend it and I’ll do it again

This company is horrible. They stole my money! I purchased a trip for $1348 and was told they could not accommodate the tour because they could not get our visas back in time. Instead of offering to reschedule or refund my money, they cancelled the trip and stole my money. I called and spoke to the supposed owner, but he yelled at me and hung up on me after saying it was my fault because I didn't purchase travel insurance. Mind you, the reason I didn't get to go on the trip was because they couldn't get the visas in time. So after months of fighting, they offered $150 for a future trip! What a joke. I want my money back or the trip that I paid for. It's sad that companies get away with taking advantage of people like this. I would never recommend this company.
