This Klook tour of the Great Wall and Summer Palace was an excellent experience overall! The itinerary was well-planned, and transportation was convenient, saving a lot of time by not having to plan our own routes. Our guide, Jessie (Guide Yang), was professional and enthusiastic, providing detailed historical backgrounds of the Great Wall and Summer Palace along the way, which made the visit much more insightful. The scenery at the Great Wall was truly magnificent, even more breathtaking in person than in photos. The Summer Palace, with its classical garden beauty, offered a relaxing escape with its picturesque lakes and mountains. The tour's timing was perfectly managed, never feeling rushed, and allowing ample time for photos and independent exploration. I highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors to Beijing; it offers great value and definitely deserves a five-star rating!

This day trip to Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace was absolutely amazing! Definitely deserves a 5-star rating! Our guide was particularly interesting, explaining things in a way that wasn't boring at all. It was really engaging to listen, and they explained everything clearly, whether it was the history of the Great Wall or the stories of the Summer Palace, so I wasn't bored at all. Mutianyu Great Wall in winter has fewer people and the scenery is absolutely stunning! Climbing up and seeing that snow scene was truly breathtaking, I felt like a hero! The best part was the Summer Palace, Kunming Lake was frozen solid and had become a huge natural ice rink! It was so much fun! The Tower of Buddhist Incense and the Long Corridor also looked particularly beautiful in the snow, just like a painting. There were no random shopping stops or forced spending throughout the entire trip, so I felt very free to enjoy myself. I especially appreciate the guide's care along the way, it was very thoughtful. Overall, I had a super happy trip, highly recommended! I'll be looking for you guys again next time I come to Beijing!

🎈For us Southern sweet potatoes, this was the most worthwhile Beijing winter group tour ever! A real shout-out to our bilingual tour guide today: Christina CheChe, not only professional but also super dedicated 👍. She arranged the pickup driver perfectly the day before the trip and gave different tour suggestions to group members from all over the world along the way. From the Mutianyu Great Wall in the morning to the Summer Palace in the afternoon, no matter how many people were in the group, she would explain the historical allusions in detail and share interesting stories at each attraction, which was refreshing. Especially at sunset 🌅, she led us to check in at the Summer Palace's most beautiful Sunset 📸 right on time. In such a cold winter, she explained while rushing along, panting the whole way, just to make sure everyone could capture precious images. I was really touched 😘 to have met such a great guide, how lucky 💖!

For my first trip to Beijing, I signed up for this "Summer Palace + Great Wall" day tour, and I'm so satisfied! I sincerely recommend it to everyone! We went to the Summer Palace in the morning and the Great Wall in the afternoon, and I think this itinerary is really well-arranged. The morning sunlight was soft, and the scenery of the entire Summer Palace was super beautiful, perfect for taking photos and checking in. Every angle was like a postcard. In the afternoon, we went to the Great Wall, walking and admiring the sunset. The light and shadow on the city walls were really shocking, and there were relatively fewer people at this time, so even during the holiday, the overall experience was still very comfortable, without feeling particularly crowded. I especially want to praise our tour guide, Susie. She is so professional and dedicated! She explained the history and background knowledge to us along the way, and the content was very lively and interesting, which gave me a deeper understanding of these two attractions. Regardless of whether everyone was listening or not, she would explain very carefully, and from time to time she would also ask if everyone was keeping up and if they were tired, which was really thoughtful. Most importantly, she is also very good at taking pictures for everyone, knows where the best views are and how to take the best photos. She's completely a combination of a thoughtful travel companion and a professional photographer! In short, I had a super happy time on this trip today and made a lot of good memories. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the experience was also very good. If anyone is coming to Beijing for the first time like me, I would really recommend this route. It has a high cost-performance ratio and a perfect experience!

Mutianyu Great Wall is simply spectacular! A must-see when in Beijing. Taking the cable car up was a smart move—effortless and scenic, offering glimpses of the wall snaking through lush hills. Once atop, the views are breathtaking: ancient gray bricks winding like a dragon, framed by greenery that adds life to What sets it apart? Fewer crowds than Badaling, letting you soak in the tranquility and grandeur without the hustle. Staff are friendly, signs are clear, making navigation easy. Wear comfy shoes—you’ll want to explore more. Every step feels like walking through history. It’s not just a landmark; it’s an experience that lingers. Truly lives up to its reputation as a world wonder. Don’t miss it!

Review for: [7-15 People VIP Group Tour] Self-organized meeting point + Round-trip transportation + Chinese and English speaking tou

A fantastic day exploring Beijing's gems! The Summer Palace dazzles with its stunning lakes, intricate pavilions, and serene gardens, pure tranquility. Then, the Great Wall at Badaling: breathtaking views, grand stone walls winding through mountains. Both show China's rich history. Guides were knowledgeable, transport smooth. A must-visit combo! Worth every step and minute. 5 stars all the way!

I highly recommend our tour guide, Amy. She contacted us around 4 PM the day before to arrange pickup and explain the itinerary. In the car, she thoroughly explained the activity options, guiding everyone to choose the best way to enjoy the tour. She pre-booked our lunch, so after hiking the Great Wall and taking photos, we went straight to eat. Amy constantly switched between Chinese and English, which is a difficult task for a guide. I would suggest separating Chinese-speaking and English-speaking tourists for a better experience. Also, a big thank you to today's driver for helping us retrieve my daughter's forgotten phone! 👍
