Visit Mutianyu from Beijing with a private English-speaking driver, flexible timing, ticket help, free wall time, and optional cable car and toboggan rides.

“We honestly had the best day with Jim. From start to finish. Jim was an amazing and bubbly driver that helped us with everything including organising the cable car tickets once we arrived. He guided us all the way onto the wall and even helped take some photos for us all at some cool spots! After we were done he even let us stop to get food on the way home. He was super patient and just made our Great Wall of China experience 10 times better! Our only regret was not getting to take a photo with you Jim! Thank you do everything! Love from South Africa!! 🇿🇦”

Hike a quiet 6km stretch of the Great Wall at Jinshanling with transport from Beijing, an English-speaking driver, tickets, and a small group.

“My husband and I joined this tour in January 2019. We were a group of about 6 travelers total, along with our driver and our guide, Jen. Jen was amazing! She was very informative and a lot of fun to talk with about both the history of the Great Wall and the culture in Beijing. She even gave us recommendations for other places to visit in the city as well as a few restaurants to eat at. We had dinner at one those restaurants that night and it was one of our best meals in Beijing. The Great Wall itself was such an incredible experience. Besides our group, we only…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 184 reviews · 6 - 9 hours · from $98

Reach Mutianyu early in a private car, skip ticket queues, and explore the Great Wall at your own pace with an English-speaking driver or guide.

“The Great Wall at Mutianyu was incredible. We were recommended by the guide to get picked up at our hotel at 6.30am so we could avoid the traffic and queues. This was a great suggestion as the wall was basically empty when we arrived, so no queues and amazing photos! Our driver Alvin was very friendly and took us to a nice restaurant after. Overall the private tour was amazing and I would highly recommend this instead of a larger coach tour.”

Review of Beijing’s Golden Mask Dynasty Show, with dramatic water effects, private hotel transfers, ticket handling, value, and booking cautions.

“Great show! So glad we went and glad we chose this option to have a driver. Our previous tour was running late so I contacted the tour operator through Viator to let them know we were running late and they were so nice. The driver waited for us and got us to the show quickly. When we arrived, we were given tickets and escorted to great seats! The show was phenomenal. The costumes and special effects very elaborate. Dancing beautiful. So glad we went. Highly recommend!”
