The remarkable Great Wall of China stretches over 6400km. With some sections dating back to the 3rd century BC, some sections are crumbly, some graffitied, other sections are picturesque and serene. Hike it, stroll it, cycle it, or simply photograph it – you won’t forget it. As one of the seven wonders of the modern world, a Great Wall of China holiday is an exceptional experience.

The walk along the Great Wall was terrific. Also the cycle ride in the country and Terracotta army of course were the highlights.

The Great Wall was the most memorable part. None of the pictures really do it justice, the views are amazing. We went about 60KM away from Beijing and set off early. It was really worth it as it was not crowded at all and we almost had the Wall to ourselves.

The guides in each city were excellent, and the group guide Lucy was just tremendous - excellent ambassador for both the tour operator and China! The kids really enjoyed it and got to see some things that exposed them how other people live just to survive.
