Beijing Mutiyanu or Badaling Great Wall Private Tour with Options
Angie was an amazing tour guide. We booked a 6 to 8 hour tour with her and she provided a lot of history about Beijing the Great Wall and other subjects continously throughout the tour. She was highly engaged and attentive to all of our needs. The logistics regarding transportation and getting through the lines with special passes saved a ton of waiting in the crowded entrance. Angie's English was great and was very helpful giving us directions and information. She accompanied us on our walk of the Wall as well. We never felt we were lost. She guided us all the way. I highly recommend her and her company as a private tour. It will make for a smooth and enjoyable experience with no hassles. It will also save a ton of time than if you take the larger tours as they do not have the special passes. This was the best tour and service we have had.

We had a wonderful experience with our Viator tour, all thanks to our guide Lucy. She spoke excellent English, which made it very easy for us to understand everything and ask questions along the way. What really stood out was her patience—she took the time to answer all our questions without ever rushing us.
Lucy is incredibly knowledgeable about both her job and the history and culture of China. She shared so many interesting insights that made each place we visited even more meaningful. She also ensured we visited all the attractions included in our ticket without any hassle, and everything was well-organized from start to finish.
We truly enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend Lucy and the Lily Tour Company to anyone planning a tour.

GO EARLY in the day and with a private driver is the way to go!
Wonderful experience. My driver, Arien was Amazing. He went out of his way to make everything perfect. I selected pick up time from my Beijing Central hotel for 6AM and it was the best decision I made. Arien was there to pick up me right on time. The drive to the entrance was about 1 hour and 20 minutes from my hotel and we got there right before it was open. He literally drop my off right in front of it, from specific entrance( VIP part of the service) instead of having to take the entrance shuttle bus. He got me a chairlift and toboggan ticket, which I later paid him with WeChat pay. So worth. It was very fun! He gave me all the good tips and recommendations on how to explore the wall, and the best watch towers to go. At the end we had some extra time and I asked him if we could stop at a tea house on the way. He took me to a small village’s tea ceremony. Very cool! We had great conversations in the car and his english was very good!
Going to the wall in the early morning is yhe best option. Got there at 7:30 am was very peaceful and not many people at all. By the time I came back down (around 9:30 am) it was full of people and very busy. GO EARLY in the day and with a private driver is the way to go!
10/10 recommend.

Absolutely fantastic...
Absolutely fantastic experience. Our driver was lovely. Was at our hotel ontime bright and early at 6:30am. He organised our tickets for the lift and told us to just take our time and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend booking this tour and getting the earliest time of 6:30am. We were leaving when many of the crowds were just arriving. Was a great experience being on the wall with no other tourists. Easier to take pictures!

Wonderful, relaxing Great Wall visit
We had a wonderful time with Lillian! She made the entire process seamless and convenient. We were especially glad when we saw the long, long lines we avoided by getting there early by car. She was pleasant and professional and had many nice touches, like getting us tickets and helping us find vegetarian food options for lunch. She also took pictures and was very pleasant with our teenager.
Thanks, Lillian!

I recently went on a tour of the Great Wall of China, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Kevin, was incredibly friendly and shared so much interesting history about the Wall and the country as a whole. His knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the day. I had a great time from start to finish and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting China.

Unforgettable experience!
We had the pleasure of visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall (Mutianyu) with Lucy, a truly exceptional tour guide. From the very first moment, she proved to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and local traditions made each stop on the tour interesting and engaging, never boring. She managed to convey curiosities and details that we would have otherwise had difficulty discovering on our own. Furthermore, she was always available, friendly, and attentive to the group's needs, adapting the pace of the tour perfectly. Thanks to her, we had an authentic experience that was much richer than a simple tourist visit. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to truly discover the place we were visiting!

Tony was an absolute excellent tour guide. He was a polite, engaging and knowledgeable guide. My husband and I are different in our activity level and things we enjoy and Tony was able to work with us both by slowing down for him while I did my photography. He also was very knowledgeable about the perfect views for the camera. We enjoyed our tour and would recommend him and the tour to anyone looking for a tour of the great wall.

The Mutianyu Great Wall: An Historical Perspective!
The Mutianyu Great Wall is definitely a must visit early in the morning during winter when crowds are absent! As the saying goes, he who have never been to the Great Wall is never a hero!
Breathtaking views amidst history, you’re transported in time among the stone and bricks!
My guide Jimmy was exceptionally knowledgeable in history and gave me a very good rendition of the creation and the existence of the structures through the thousands of years in time. Truly remarkable to be able to experience this with someone as informed as Jimmy is!

Yue set everything up for me at the Great Wall and the Summer palace. He had water, snacks and a warm vest for me to wear because it was COLD. He made a detour so I could see some Olympic venues and worked with my schedule when I had flight delays. Excellent experience.

Beijing full day tour from Capital airport - perfect
Our guide, Bowen, picked us up at the airport by car. We went to the Forbidden City, had Peking duck, went to the Temple of Heaven, and then had some time for a stroll through the Qianmen district (it was January, so no point in visiting the Summer Palace). airport pick-up 8:30 am, back at airport around 6pm. Tickets were reserved and Bowen came with us to do the guided tour. He speaks excellent english and knew a lot if interesting things. We enjoyed this day immensely, thank you very much!

Great uncrowded section
If you want to explore an uncrowded section of the Wall, this tour is for you.
The pick-up was on time and the time they give you to explore the Wall is more than enough. On the day I booked, only 3 other passengers were going so it was quite comfortable. Our driver had very limited English (like mine hahaha) but it was not difficult to communicate with him.
