Reviews
Reviews summaryWe chose a package with pickup. Since there were five of us, the guide booked a Didi taxi. After meeting the guide, we headed to the Great Wall. The guide was good, but their voice was a bit soft on the bus. I recommend choosing a package that includes cable car or cableway/toboggan tickets directly. There are two return sessions: 1:40 PM and 2:40 PM. My advice is to choose the cableway/toboggan option if you come here, as it's more exciting and the Great Wall area isn't as crowded. The cable car area can be quite busy. For your return, you'll need to walk down to the bus parking area.
Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Beijing. The entire tour was well-organized from start to finish, with punctual transportation and a knowledgeable guide who shared interesting historical facts about the Great Wall without making the experience feel rushed.
Our guide Mr.Leo and our driver Ms. Nadia are very nice. They show us the quality tour and comfortable. Mr. Leo who has a lot of knowledge about Chinese history and conecting it in world history also. They drop us at local market to buy the fresh fruits and resonable price. We would say we have very incredible day with them.
Our guide was Dona, who contacted us a day before to inform about change in pick up point. She was quite detailed in her explanation of where to climb at MuTianYu Great Wall section and helped us buy tickets for the cable car and chairlift+toboggan. with her advice, we were able to experience both instead of just only one, as we could only choose either the cable car or the chairlift+toboggan option at checkout. we could also avoid the queues based on her advice which saved us a lot of waiting time.
Great place and the view is amazing!❤Good weather and not too crowded.🥰We love our visit at Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall and glad to have our Tour guide Ms. Dona and Mr. Richard who accommodate us for the bus transfer going back to the City Center.He is very kind and very approachable.Nice service and well guided informative guide from this agency.Looking forward to be back again with this tour.
Very easy for a foreigner who wants to visit the great wall. The scenery is astonishing and the toboggan is a cherry on top for the fun experience. The tour guid is very friendly with good enough English knowledge which make the communication a lot easier. Definitely recommended 👍
Great Wall tour was amazing! Our tour leader, Donna, was very informative and helpful throughout the trip. The bus was always on time, and everything went very smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit the Great Wall hassle-free!
Our guide is Ms. Angela and she is amazing, at the start we were a little late because of our train delay, but she’s willing to wait and even talk to our Didi driver to speed up. She greet us warmly too. she even went the extra mile to help me with my bag. The trip is very good, all the explanations about the trip are clearly communicated, the guide even suggests which route to take first to accomodate our rides. We first took only the chair-lift and the slides, she suggest our wants to take the cable car and suggest the route to take. The lunch are good and the ladies at the restaurant are nice
It was a historic and unforgettable tour. Our guide spoke English, and since we aren't fluent in the language, the experience wasn't as immersive as it could have been. Even so, she was very attentive, always sending messages via WeChat to make sure we didn't get lost. Upon arriving at the Great Wall, we were impressed by its grandeur and all the history behind its construction. It was thrilling to be in such an important place for humanity. The only slight frustration was not finding the toboggan access for the descent and having to go back the same way. Perhaps with a Spanish-speaking guide, we would have understood the directions better. Still, it was a great experience and a memory we will cherish forever. The Great Wall is simply incredible! ❤️
The tour was very well organized and went wonderfully. Despite long queues due to many people, we were very good on time. We had the all-inclusive package and were completely satisfied. The lunch afterward was also excellent. We can recommend it to anyone who wants to see and feel the Great Wall of China without any stress or headaches.
Good to know
- Package including hotel pickup: Due to frequent conferences and large-scale events in Beijing, traffic control is often implemented in areas within the Second Ring Road, where streets are narrow and intersections are dense. Some hotels are located in hutongs, making direct vehicle access impossible. Therefore, pickup may need to occur within 500 meters of the hotel. (The specific pickup location will be communicated 1 day before departure)
