Peking Päiväretket

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!

Our tour guide Victoria was amazing! she adjusted the pace to everyone’s liking and was very attentive! she told us a lot of information about the palace but also a lot of information about Chinese culture and history. She was happy to answer any questions we had. 10/10 recommend.

This was my first time using KLOOK. It turns out that when the official notice says the tour guide will contact you before 7:00 PM the evening before, they don't send an email. Instead, they leave a message inside the order management section. I foolishly kept checking my email and then added the guide on WeChat. Our guide this time was Ms. Zhang Yuqing. Her explanations were very professional, and her time management was excellent. We met at 8:50 and finished at 12:00. Afterward, we were free to visit the Treasure Gallery and the Clock Gallery on our own or just look around. However, even though it's late October and the off-peak season, the crowds were still huge. There might not even be a true off-season for the Palace Museum! All in all, having a professional guide really enhances the travel experience, so it was definitely worth it.

Recommend. Give the long queue, high security control, and massive size, I think good idea to go with the tour. JuLia was a knowledgeable tour guide and learned well. Remember passport is a must, slso recommend to pack light. The tour ends inside the palace, so you may explore more before heading to Jingshan for sunset. Just wish we were told more about the Palace Museum as well (which I guess we did not go, and didn’t know where).

Stress-free one day trip to the Great Wall of China. Tour guides are knowledgeable and helpful, this trip provides adequate time to enjoy the Great Wall scenery, browse souvenirs and having meals without any rush. They also serve free chinese snacks and herbal beverage before returning to the city.

The Simatai Great Wall is amazing and really underrated. There was hardly anyone around, and unlike the more famous ones like Badaling or Mutianyu, this is unrestored, original Ming Dynasty material. You’ll need some level of physical fitness however, as there is some challenge to the hike. The cable car only takes you halfway up. The group tour itself was fantastic, we had a lovely boat ride at the picturesque Gubei Water Town, followed by a hearty Hotpot lunch. We spent the afternoon doing the great wall, and the evening back at Gubei. A shout out to our amazing guide Susie, who was fluent in both English and Mandarin. Instructions were clear, and we got great tips throughout. We were kept informed with live updates via WeChat too. Highly recommended!

Good itinerary well organized and with a lot of free time to explore. It is a little rush on the Wall especially if there are queues and a lot of tourists; if you prefer to take many time to explore the entire length of the Wall (requires a lot of climbing!) it is better to stay there the entire day. But I think that this was perfect for me and my wife, the Summer Palace is worth a visit and we would not have had any other opportunity to make it fit in our schedule if not for this tour. One thing that I have not fully appreciated is the fact that you are basically obligated to buy ticket for the cable car which are quite expensive (is very complex to climb by feet and it does not fit if you want to spend just half a day on the Wall), so consider that the cheapest option of this tour is not really making you save any money, you are just choosing to buy the tickets on the bus with the tour guide. The guide will propose you a buffet lunch but consider that there are multiple alternatives

This day tour is the most satisfying itinerary I have ever booked on Klook. A huge thank you to Jessie; she is a very dedicated and responsible tour guide. Since Jessie noticed that there were an unusually high number of visitors heading to the Great Wall this morning, she asked for everyone's opinions and decided to move the Summer Palace itinerary to the morning instead. I think this arrangement was fantastic. When we arrived at the Great Wall in the afternoon, we didn't have to wait in line for the cable car, which gave everyone much more time to explore and take photos. Jessie provided very detailed explanations, helping us better understand the history of each place we visited. I hope Klook will offer more tours in the future that feature visiting one attraction in the morning followed by the Great Wall at noon, giving travelers with such preferences an additional choice.

A big thank you to our amazing tour guide for making this trip such a fun, memorable, and meaningful experience! ❤️ A special shout-out and heartfelt thanks to Michael, Richard, and Leo for your incredible care, kindness, and support throughout the journey. Everything was so well organized, and the itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. You were always enthusiastic, thoughtful, attentive, and ready to help whenever we needed anything. Your warm hospitality, positive energy, and genuine kindness made this trip even more special. Thank you for taking such great care of everyone and making sure we had an unforgettable experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team of tour guides! Wishing you all the best, and hope to see you again on another adventure! ❤️
