A great vacation begins with a great tour guide. Hello, I am Sonia - your reliable local guide in Beijing. Originally, I became a tour guide because I love traveling, hiking and exploring. Along the way, I found that I really enjoy sharing insights and stories with people. From my own travels, I truly believe that a great guide—someone who loves their city and cares about their visitors—can make a trip so much more special and memorable. A happy vacation is not just about the destination, but also the people you meet along the way. I can be your travel planner, consultant, and personal guide.

I can give you so many reasons why you book this tour with me! The total length of the Great Wall around Beijing is about 600 kilometers. As a Great Wall hiker, I have been to about 400 kilometers of them. Chen Castle Great Wall is extremely picturesque, wonderfully quiet and absolutely unspoiled. Usually we will only meet a few hikers on the wall, sometimes nobody is in sight. It is a three-hour hike - exactly how you romantics dream of experiencing the Wall. This hike also offers excellent views of the surrounding mountains and the chance to see native wildlife in its natural habitat. Welcome to join me to experience the real untouched Wall’s grandeur! I am sure three hours’ walking on this magnificent project made by human beings will leave you great memory!
I was delighted with my 3 days of touring in Beijing with Sonia ! She was prompt, knowledgeable and sensitive to my requests! We saw the sights I requested along with off the beaten track ones I had hoped for. We even had delicious, local meals - and at reasonable prices. I highly recommend Sonia as a guide. Paula
Excelent privat tour....flexible and very nice ...great local chinesse food and also good recommendation for tea stores.... great time!
It was a misty day but going around Beijing. She took us to places that I had seen before being I have been to Beijing 3 other times. We had her for 2 days and she switched our days around so that the Great Wall would be on the nice day. No getting around the rain but did inside things also. She is a really great tour guide and made sure w seen things of interest to us. I would book her again when go back to Beijing!
1. In the morning I will pick you up from your hotel or any other agreed upon location with a professional driver. 2. It takes about 2 hours’ driving to get the Great Wall. 3. We will start out from a small village. We will take in sweeping views of the Yan mountain range as we scramble up hillside, making our way along the Great Wall in about 20 minutes. The hike itself is a good workout but nothing too strenuous, roughly 3-4 hours in total with plenty of time to stop and take photos. The maximum elevation is about 1070 meters. We will take our time climbing up and down and make sure that we have a relaxing and enjoyable visit. There are alternate routes around the steepest climbs allowing the hikers to adapt their activity to suit their hiking level. Sitting atop the watchtowers along the way, you could hear nothing but the wind. 4. Chinese lunch (optional): After the hike we will have lunch at a nearby local restaurant. 5. Drive back to your hotel and finish the amazing day!
