We booked a driver to Jinshanling section of the wall, which was fantastic. This section of the wall was not crowded, 30 people at most. The driver was prompt, polite and very kind. He provided water, snacks for the drive, and even gave us souvenirs at the end of the 9 hour trip. The trip was 2.5 hours from the Sunworld Dynasty Hotel in Beijing to Jinshanling. We booked the start time at 11am because we wanted to see the sunset on the wall, which was incredible. We spent approximately 4 hours on the wall, and made it back to the hotel at 8pm.

Good service - only the drive took us longer than it says in the description

+ The service was easy to book, the communication was uncomplicated and fast. You get what you book :) - However, two more comments: 1. The description says it’s 2h drive per direction. Honestly 3h per direction is more realistic. Because we booked the driver for 9h in total, we thought we’ll have around 4-5h on the wall. It rather was 3h. 2. It’s just my personal opinion, but it’s bit overpriced to pay the car per person, I think. It does not make a difference if there are one or two people in the car. But we did know this before and booked it anyway, because we were short in time and there was no other possibility to visit the jinshanling part of the wall. If we had more time, we would have taken the train.
