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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 347 reviews · from $75

Hike a quiet 6km stretch of the Great Wall at Jinshanling with round-trip Beijing transport, an English-speaking driver, tickets, and free time.

“The tour included return trip from Beijing to the Great Wall. The drive itself was OK, also did one stop each way (approx 3h drives). We only missed a bit more general information about the Great Wall while driving and not while hiking as we were dedicated to photos there (and thus quickly lost the guide).”

“The price compared to what you can find locally is very very expensive (almost 3 times what you can find - same experience) The ticket to the park is not included regarding the price it is a bit dreadful Also during the trip we had a decent lunch and after the trip the guide asked for a very expensive refund of the lunch that was not included + forgot ticket was not included, in a word it is poorly managed. To avoid and I would recommend to get in touch with your hotel to find a better experience. Even if I totally agree it is nice to be able to…”
