Mutianyu Great Wall චාරිකා

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! :)

Booking the 6:30AM schedule was the right decision. You will have at least an hour or two with little to no crowds. Did the west side of the wall and climbed where my energy took me to (I know my limits 😂) but a lot of my tour mates conquered both! Take note that this activity only includes the ride to/from Mutianyu and shuttle to the cable car and chair lifts. You still have to pay for these. Our tour guide, Kevin (thank you!), took care of it + the souvenirs if you want one. He accompanied us to the cable car and chair lift stations. After that, we were on our own and free to explore for five hours. Went down around 11AM and the wall was so crowded. 😆I also availed the buffet and the food options were good! You just have to pay extra if you want a soda or beer. Will book with MUBUS again next time. 🙌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience on our tour with Yuly! She was very friendly, funny and informative. Our first stop was the Great Wall of China, where we had a few hours to explore at our own pace and take in the amazing views. Afterwards, we enjoyed a lunch buffet (extra cost) before heading to the Summer Palace, where we also got to enjoy a boat tour(extra cost) and learned a lot about the history. The itinerary was well planned, and we had a good amount of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. The timing was really great because as we were leaving the wall it became really busy. It was a great way to see two of Beijing’s most famous attractions in one day. Thank you, Yuly, for a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

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.

An absolutely unforgettable experience! Our trip to the Great Wall of China exceeded every expectation. Everything was wonderfully organized, and the entire experience was seamless from beginning to end. A true bucket-list adventure that we'll remember for a lifetime. Highly, highly recommend!

Overall, I enjoyed the experience and Yuly did a great job keeping everyone together and explaining key parts of the Forbidden City’s history. I would have preferred less time there and more time at the Great Wall. The itinerary could be more transparent. I didn’t expect to take a public bus after the Forbidden City to reach another bus, or to pick up more passengers along the way. The Great Wall extras were also confusing. On the bus, we were asked which sides we wanted to visit and charged 280 RMB for cable car/toboggan tickets. It felt like these were compulsory, although they are optional and cheaper options are available on site. This should be explained clearly before payment. That said, the cable cars and toboggan were amazing and so much fun! I don’t regret the experience or extra money spent. I’m grateful for the guidance and knowledge I gained, although I now feel confident I could organise it myself next time and spend more time exploring the Great Wall at my own pace!

I got Amy as my guide for the afternoon Great Wall of China trip. She is bilingual and her English is good. Although this was a self-guided trip, she was always attentive and made sure to cater to every passenger’s needs. I would text her whenever I needed advice on how to plan my time and decide which activities to do within the time allocated. She gave me very practical and helpful advice. There was an extremely long queue for the slide, and I ended up waiting for about an hour. I texted Amy to update her as I was worried that I might miss the last bus back. She immediately reassured me that she would wait for me and that the bus would not leave until I had returned. I really appreciate her patience, care and reassurance throughout the trip. She was very responsible and helpful, and definitely made my Great Wall experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Amy!

Everything was perfect. The day before, we received our departure time from our hotel. The morning of, we received a WeChat message with the license plate number of the taxi that would take us to the bus meeting point for everyone. Then, we departed by bus for the Great Wall site, which takes about 2 hours of driving. Upon arrival, the guide took us to the cable cars, and then we were free to visit the Wall for several hours. We went from Tower 14 to Tower 21, round trip, in 3 hours. Be aware that after Tower 19, it becomes very, very physically demanding, so remember to bring water, even though you can buy some at certain points during the visit. Afterward, we returned to the bus at a specific time, usually around 3 PM. Upon returning to Beijing, the bus dropped us all off at a subway station, and everyone went their separate ways. It was great, and visiting the Wall is magical. We highly recommend it.
