Really happy to experience The Wall...

<p>Really happy to experience The Wall thru Viator! Private car/driver and English-speaking guide, Rocky, picked us up fm our Beijing hotel as scheduled. Rocky was knowledgeable. No crowds in the unrestored sections. Hiked around parts occupied by police. Finished with great food in local restaurant.</p>
