Great tour! managed to fit in both the chairlift and cable car and the sled run down. hot walking at the top so don’t underestimate the amount of water you’ll need. Useful guide summary on the way there and comfortable buses both ways. lunch is basic, and convenient so works well. Thanks Michael for taking care of us!
amazing tour, efficient and and well planned and the views of the Great Wall are spectacular it really helps being early to get those views without too many people. my tour guide was Micheal and he was friendly and helpful would definitely recommend.
me and my husband had a great time. the wall was beautiful. flower was our guide. she was very helpful and really went above and beyond to make sure we got all the correct information. even called our hotel to check in with us. it’s a self guided tour once you arrive. so you can go around as you please. the pickup is so convenient. we opted for the lunch option, but i wouldn’t recommend because it’s set food(we don’t like orange sauce flavor chicken) you don’t get options. instead order lunch at the restaurant on your own. would recommend both the cable car and toboggan! everything was so fun! we arrived very early so we beat the crowds. I would definitely recommend to book! Thank you flower for being so kind 🖤
Our tour guide, Mr Frank, contacted us a day in advance to confirm the pickup time and meeting point. On the way to Mutianyu Great Wall, he shared interesting historical information about the Great Wall and clearly explained the arrangements for lunch, as well as where to return to meet the bus after descending from the Great Wall. We experienced quite long queues – almost 1 hour 45 minutes for the chairlift ride up and another 1.5 hours for the Toboggan ride down. Unfortunately, we ended up missing our scheduled buffet lunch. However, Frank had thoughtfully made prior arrangements with the restaurant, allowing us to grab a quick bite after coming down from the Great Wall before heading back to the city. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable day tour. Despite the long queues, the Toboggan ride was definitely the highlight and well worth the wait! Highly recommended!
Great experience today on our trip to the Great Wall! Michael was a good guide and the cooler weather combined with clear skies were amazing! definitely do the cableway up and tabogan down if you can handle the walking and climbing.
We had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall of China with our guide, Richard. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable. Car was comfortable and clean. He recommended we leave heaps earlier to get to Great Wall to escape the crowds and it was the best idea. He shared fascinating history, answered all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
I had a fantastic experience on this trip. 🇨🇳Everything went smoothly and on time. Initially, I thought traveling to the Great Wall would be difficult and chaotic, but it wasn't at all. Booking the trip through Klook was excellent, and our guide, Michael, was incredibly helpful and accommodating. His explanations in both Chinese and English were fluent and easy to understand, and all the information he provided was clear. He gave great instructions on using the cable car and the sled, making the Great Wall experience for my family and me incredibly enjoyable. I booked a trip that included meals, and the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I was truly impressed. 🤩
I had a very nice day today at the Great Wall! Angela gave me a lot of tips to avoid long queues, so I was able to visit the East and West side in one day, plus getting lunch afterwards! I feel like it is a very recommendable trip for everyone who wants to go to the Great Wall for one day, especially as a solo traveller! :)
lovely and seamless experience!! would recommend for groups of friends or familiy. Really appreciated Maggie who helped us greatly to find alternatives to miss the peak crowds or try local produce like peach or chestnuts! we were meant to take the toppangan but to miss some crowd we took the cable car instead which was still fun! really recommend this tour
Good to know
- The tour guide will provide a detailed explanation of the tour strategy on the bus. To facilitate your independent experience of the rich tour routes, Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area is purely free activity (the tour guide will not accompany you). If you have any questions during the tour, the tour guide will provide online mobile guidance at any time.
- Hotel pick-up package: 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, where vehicles cannot directly enter. Therefore, pick-up may need to be within 500 meters of the hotel. (The specific pick-up location will be informed 1 day before departure)
