“We honestly had the best day with Jim. From start to finish. Jim was an amazing and bubbly driver that helped us with everything including organising the cable car tickets once we arrived. He guided us all the way onto the wall and even helped take some photos for us all at some cool spots! After we were done he even let us stop to get food on the way home. He was super patient and just made our Great Wall of China experience 10 times better! Our only regret was not getting to take a photo with you Jim! Thank you do everything!
