Review of a private Mutianyu Great Wall trip from Beijing, with flexible pickup, private transport, ticket help, and time to explore freely.

“We had an amazing experience on our private trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall, thanks especially to our driver, David. He was exceptionally professional and friendly, making the whole journey very convenient for our family, including our elderly parents. We opted for the 6:30 AM pick-up, which turned out to be a great choice as we arrived early and were ahead of the line for the open chair lift. David even kindly accompanied my father on the lift to ensure his safety and comfort. The entire team was outstanding, providing attentive and thoughtful service throughout. We highly recommend this trip and the team behind it!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 667 reviews · 9 hours · from $52

Hike restored and wild sections of Jinshanling Great Wall from Beijing, with sweeping views, a small group, water, poles, and local lunch.

“The booking process was super simple and easy. The pickup location was clear and not hard to find at all. When we were picked up, our driver Charlie was so welcoming and kind. He didn’t speak a lot of English, but he made everything easy by using translation and even had a sign ready with my name on it, which made us feel very looked after. We loved this hike because it allowed us to walk at our own pace. For the first 2–3 hours we practically had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel even more special. Just a note for anyone planning to go in winter…”
