    I work at Macmillan Cancer Support, and have just come back from accompanying a group of our fundraisers who trekked the Great Wall last week. Our entire group had an incredible experience and I want to give my wholehearted thanks to James. He was an exceptional guide and the trip wouldn't have been the same without him. He is extremely knowledgeable, always sharing facts and history about the Great Wall and China. He was always on hand to help any members of our group who were struggling, and always did it with a smile and fantastic sense of humour! Everything ran smoothly. from restaurant and hotel bookings to tours of the Forbidden City and a silk factory. I couldn't fault a single thing. I would recommend anyone taking a trip to the Great Wall to go with James. He made my trip, and I know of 16 other people who would say the same! Thank you James!
