Review for: Mutianyu Great Wall+Ming Tombs Private Tour

We had a great experience with our tour guide, Andy. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and fluent in both English and Mandarin, which made communication smooth and enjoyable. Andy took excellent care of our family throughout the trip and also shared insightful information about other attractions in Beijing that enriched our visit. Our driver, Mr. Sun, was equally impressive. He is a safe and reliable driver who ensured our comfort by providing bottled water and keeping the vehicle cool in the hot weather. We truly appreciated the thoughtful service from both Andy and Mr. Sun—highly recommended!

Review for: Mutianyu Great Wall+Ming Tombs Private Tour

It was initially difficult because they do not put you in direct contact with the guide and had to wait in our lobby until we were approached by Kelly! We had the pleasure of having Kelly Chen as our guide for the Great Wall of China and Ming Dynasty Tombs tour, and she delivered an excellent experience from start to finish. Kelly was well-prepared, punctual, and clearly very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. She provided detailed historical context, answered all our questions patiently, and explained things in a way that was both easy to understand and engaging. What stood out was her ability to balance being informative without overwhelming us. She gave us the space to enjoy the sites while still guiding us through the important highlights. Throughout the tour, she maintained a professional and friendly attitude, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Overall, Kelly helped make the day both educational and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a dependable and well-informed guide in Beijing, she’s a great choice. This tour was nothing short of amazing and convenient, and Kelly made that all the more enjoyable. Thank you Kelly for creating such an amazing and memorable experience for us!

Review for: Mutianyu Great Wall+Ming Tombs Private Tour

we started the trip earlier to avoid crowd, the tour guide and driver arrived at our hotel around 7. there is quite bad traffic from hotel to Mutianyu but we still arrived before the crowd build up. it is a shame we cannot walk more on the Great Wall due to time constraint, we went up with cable car and down with the slide which the kids love so much. we went to Ming’s tomb, we haven’t noticed that the trip did not include the sacred way. it is a nice day out anyway. thank you
