I cant speak highly enough of Jenny...

Liam R, Apr 2018

I cant speak highly enough of Jenny and Lilys tours. A must book activity. Some quick tips for visitors: - Bring Water and Toilet Paper - The chair lift and toboggan is amazing. On to the review. We confirmed our booking the day before and were told wed be picked up in our hotel lobby at 8am. Our guide and driver, Jenny, arrived right on time in an immaculately kept, modern and spacious, 8 seat minivan. Very bubbly and bright, Jenny spoke perfect English and immediately made us felt safe and welcome. Once in the car, Jenny explained the tour to us and our route. We took about 1.5 hours to get to the Great Wall. Along the way Jenny was excellent in sharing her knowledge of the Great Wall and was able to answer all of our questions too and others about Beijing and China. We drove along the highway and then through some smaller towns and orchards to the Mu Tian Yu visitor centre. Jenny was very helpful again with pointing out western toilets n.b. theres no toilet paper so bring your own and with helping us get our tickets for the shuttle bus 15 and tickets for the ski lift and toboggan 120. We then had a quick walk through the tourist market, where Jenny helped us find a special item. We then hopped on the shuttle bus to the base of the Great Wall. A journey of only 5 minutes but saves walking uphill for 45mins and lets you save much needed energy to enjoy the wall itself. At the Great Wall base Jenny was again very helpful explaining the ski lift and toboggan and the various towers along this section of the Great Wall. We then took the ski lift up to tower 6, followed by Jenny, and began climbing the Great Wall. Jenny stayed with us for the first few towers explaining the construction and history and providing anecdotal insight into life on the wall. Jenny also took photos for us and offered to send them to us via WeChat. At tower 3 Jenny then gave us time to ourselves to continue exploring up to tower 1. The views and construction of this part of the wall is incredible. After we spent our time here we went back to tower 6 and rode the toboggan down which took about 7 minutes. There is a photo station at the bottom of the slide so you dont need to worry about selfies. Its only 30 per photo as well and comes in a nice booklet, so great value! At base of the Great Wall we met up with our guide again and then headed back to the Mu Tian Yu visitor centre where we had a quick toilet break and jumped back in the car and headed off to a great local restaurant about 5 minutes away for lunch. Jenny ordered for us and chose a delicious banquet of foods including chicken, noodles, Beijing vegetables, rice and dumplings. There was so much food we couldnt finish it and it tasted very good. After lunch we then got back in the car and made our way back to our hotel in Beijing. Final words. Book this tour! Dont bother searching for others I spent days doing that! Go with this one and trust me, you wont be disappointed. Also make sure you leave them a review to help them out. Big big thank you to Jenny and Lilys tours for making this the highlight of our China trip and an incredible way to spend a birthday.

We unexpectedly ended up in Beijing...

Robert N, Jul 2017

We unexpectedly ended up in Beijing and booked this trip the night before the tour. We had no idea what to expect and really didn't have time to do research ahead of time. Well, everything worked out BEAUTIFULLY!! Our tour guide picked us up in the lobby of our hotel right on time and our small group ended up just being our tour guide, my husband and myself. Our tour guide, Jenny, spoke perfect English and her mini van was very nice and comfortable. She also had two bottles of water for us. Our drive to Mutianyu went through small towns and fruit orchards. We went fairly early in the morning and so it wasn't crowded at all. Once we got to the entrance, Jenny got our tickets and then we took a short bus ride up to a ski lift that takes you to the top of the Great Wall. Jenny was very knowledgeable about the Great Wall and it really made the trip more meaningful. We hiked several miles and she even took us on part of the wild Great Wall that is not maintained. There were no other tourists at all on this part! Jenny made the trip so fun and special. To get down we rode a toboggan slide all the way to the bottom! Then we were treated to a delicious traditional Chinese meal and returned to our hotel. I can't say enough good things about Jenny and this tour. Everything worked our perfectly. My husband and I are in our 50s and in fairly good condition. The hike was fairly strenuous.

My son and I was the only people on...

Calvin O, May 2017

My son and I was the only people on this tour. We were picked on time at our hotel by our guide Jenny who spoke perfect English and was a wonderful host. We had a great time traversing the Great Wall and taking in the scenery. The toboggan ride was a hoot, lunch was delicious. I would recommend this tour and absolutely ask for Jenny to be your guide.

Good organization, guide...
