★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 115 reviews · from $180Our pick

Review of a private Mutianyu Great Wall tour with hotel pickup, cable car or chair lift, toboggan ride, English guide, and flexible timing.

“The tour was great in respect of having private transport and jumping the queues etc. The downside was that it takes about 90 mins, sometimes longer depending on traffic, to get from the centre of Beijing to Mutianya. This means that there isn't a lot of time to spend at the Great Wall,”

“Most attractions need pre-booking and you need a passport to enter attractions…we wasted a day trying to visit places with no pre-booking or guide…..we then booked a custom half day tour. Not cheap but took all the stress away and drove us around in a brand new car with water and fruit provided !! Excellent service from Maria and Mr Yang.”
