Beijing · MING TOMBS TOURS
The tombs sit on the road out to Badaling, which is why almost everyone sees them as half of a wall day. The 11 below compare the pairings, the Sacred Way walk and the tombs done on their own, with prices and driving times.

“Our driver Jason was very helpful and very kind. He also, gave us breakfast banana for our tour was early in the morning like 6:30am. He took us to where we needed to go and picked us up as soon as we got done. He gave us time to look around. He was very safe, while driving.”

“This was a wonderful day trip, and Lina, a wonderful guide - friendly, conversational and full of interesting information. Both she and her driver made us feel relaxed and welcome. An early-ish start meant that we beat the worst of the traffic for a quiet time on the wall. We took the steeper route, which was a challenge at first, but throughly worth it although some of the steps are very high, and we noticed that smaller people and children were struggling to climb them, followed by an excellent toboggan ride down! After this, we were driven to a local hot spot, revered for its fish, which we tried -…”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience thanks to our excellent tour guide, Albert, and our outstanding driver, Ms. Fu. Albert was incredibly knowledgeable - not only did he provide detailed information about all the sights we visited, but he also gave us fascinating insights into local life and society. He even went above and beyond by making an extra stop for a traditional tea ceremony, which was a highlight. And the lunch he arranged was hands down the best meal we had during our entire vacation! Ms. Fu was a fantastic driver - skilled, safe, and incredibly thoughtful. When we got caught in the rain without any gear, she generously…”

Visit Mutianyu and the Ming Tombs on a private Beijing day tour with an English-speaking guide, local lunch, cable car options, and hotel pickup.
“Before I purchased the ticket I thought it was a bit expensive, might have been the best $500 I spent. Jenny was amazing, she got me to the Great Wall early before all the tourist arrived, she spoke great English, took me for an amazing traditional Chinese lunch (honestly incredible - get the pork and potatoes). Jenny knew a lot of the history and was super friendly. I would not have done that trip on a bus with a group knowing what I know now. If you can afford the private tour…save yourself the time & pain and do it. Got photos on the wall by myself in sections! Overall…”

“Awesome day! Our guide’s (Joe) proposal to change the order of the visit let us enjoy Ming’s Tumbs area in a more relaxed and quier way, and slide option to get down from the Great Wall was super cool. Be ready for a long time in the car, but hope you had a driver as good as ours”

“Jack, our tour guide, stopped by our hotel earlier to remind us to dress warmly, as the temperature at the gorge would be a few degrees lower than in the city. We were truly grateful for his advice when we arrived and felt the chill. Jack was also patient with all our questions and very accommodating throughout the trip. We had a wonderful experience!”

“Jeg vil gerne have givet denne ture fem stjerner men det kan jeg simpelthen ikke på grund af frokosten. Vi blev hentet tidligt på hotellet af vores søde guide hun snakkede helt perfekt engelsk og havde fuldstændig styr på alle facts på turen Begge områder var der ikke ret mange turister og det hele var meget stille og roligt i september måned 2025 men da vi skulle spise frokost blev vi kørt ind til et kæmpe mad sted hvor man samler alle turister fra området her blev man præsenteret for en buffet der var kold/lunken det var smagløst generelt ikke en særlig god oplevelse men resten af turen var der…”
