Peking Wandelen

Er is meer dan genoeg tijd! De uitleg en routebeschrijving van de gids waren erg helder! We volgden de route van de Middelste Poort (Zhuanduankou) naar de Oostelijke Poort (Oostelijke Wutailou)! Je kunt de Great Wall eindeloos zien kronkelen! Zorg er wel voor dat je antislipschoenen draagt en de weersverwachting in de gaten houdt! Anders is het echt gevaarlijk als det regent of mistig is! Sommige hellingen zijn erg steil en de treden variëren sterk in hoogte. Een reiziger in onze groep brak zelfs een bot en moest door vijf mensen om de beurt van de berg worden gedragen. De gids was zeer toegewijd en hielp de gewonde reiziger uitstekend! Dit is absoluut een van de eiland aanbevolen onderdelen van de Muur om te bezoeken tijdens een reis naar Peking!

Martin was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories and historical facts about the Great Wall. The overall organization was smooth and straightforward. As for the hike itself, the scenery was absolutely beautiful! Some sections were quite steep. The Great Wall was fairly crowded but the experience was still very enjoyable. The hike was divided into two parts: the 1st was a guided walk with Martin and the 2nd was a more challenging climb that we could explore at our own pace. To get back down, you have 3 options: walk down or take the chairlift/enjoy the toboggan slide for an additional fee. However, the slide waiting time is at least 1h.

We had a wonderful half-day private tour to the Terracotta Army with Mason. Although our trip was short and we only visited the Terracotta Army, we had a really great time. Mason’s English is excellent. He speaks fluently and clearly, so communication was very easy. He knows Qin history very well. He explained the stories of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the terracotta warriors in a vivid way, not just reading a boring script. Mason’s service was also fantastic. He was punctual, patient and professional. He guided us through the museum, answered all our questions, and never rushed us. He perfectly handled our tight schedule. This short tour became a memorable experience. We highly recommend Mason as a private guide in Xi’an. We would love to book him again if we return. Best Tour Guide 5stars
