“Amazing tour! It actually ended up as a private tour because no one else booked it that day. Totally fine by me and my friend because we were able to go on our own pace. Our guide Bella, picked us up at our hotel lobby and then we were off to The Wall. Our driver was great. Didn't catch his name but he's the guy with the pink hair. I felt safe in his car. I was a bit worried after witnessing how the locals drive in Beijing. I highly recommend visiting the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. It is a bit further further away but less crowded. Bella…”
