The Best Great Wall Hiking Company for 78,714+ Hikers Since 2003

The Great Wall of China—one of the modern world’s wonders and one of humankind’s most extraordinary achievements—has long captured the imagination of writers, scientists, soldiers, travelers and adventurers. Within its countless bricks and watchtowers lives the enduring spirit of Chinese civilization. Walk on this historic ground and you feel that spirit all around you. The wonder of exploring it stays with you for life. We believe everyone should experience that feeling at least once, and Great Wall Adventure Club is here to make it possible.

Founded in Beijing in 2003, Great Wall Adventure Club has introduced travelers from around the world to the marvel, mystery and excitement of the Wall. We specialize in pristine, unrestored and off-the-beaten-path sections where the landscape remains quiet and authentic. Beyond the busiest tourist viewpoints, we reveal the Wall as it truly is—rising and falling across mountain ridges for thousands of miles.

Our team has also supported Great Wall and China adventures for Google, British Airways, NASA, NBC Olympics, 19 Kids and Counting, and many other distinguished groups. So instead of banging your head against the wall, get on the Wall with Great Wall Adventure Club.

Great Wall Adventure Club is now a bona fide American company. We take our reputation for service leadership seriously, designing every journey to deliver exceptional quality, responsive support and a genuinely memorable experience.
