What are people saying about Beijing

Maddy_H, Apr 2026

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!

Beijing Forbidden City Small Group Tour with Tickets

VictoriaTerese_K, Apr 2026

Great tour

This was a great experience. The tour company got in touch on WhatsApp as soon as week booked (several weeks in advance) and was happy to answer any questions leading up to the tour. There was also a message the day before with all the details we needed about meeting point etc. The tour itself was great - it is a huge site, so to cover everything would have taken at least a full day. Instead, the guide gave us lots of interesting information, taking us through the central path, without overloading us and keeping to time. He was very happy to answer any questions and also allowed time for taking pictures etc, even helping us taking photos. Throughout the tour he gave pointers and suggestions for other parts of the site to explore individually after, if we choose to.

Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver

A great way to see The Great Wall.

We had an absolutely brilliant day visiting Mutianyu Great Wall and couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Everything was seamless from start to finish. The pick-up from our hotel was right on time, the drive was smooth, and the whole day felt really well organised without ever feeling rushed. Mutianyu itself is incredible, and having the flexibility to explore at our own pace made a big difference. A special mention to our guide, Mr Wu, who was excellent. Friendly, professional and genuinely helpful, he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. From helping with tickets to giving us just the right amount of guidance before we set off (and taking some amazing photographs!) everything was handled perfectly. The chair lift up and toboggan down were great fun and definitely worth doing, especially with a teenager in tow (a shame about the lady in front who insisted on going SO SLOWLY so she could take instagram videos, but I guess that can’t be helped…). We had plenty of time on the wall to take it all in, grab photos and just enjoy the experience without feeling pressured. All in all, a fantastic, stress-free way to visit one of the most iconic places in the world. Highly recommended. ★★★★★

Mutianyu Great Wall

It was a great experience, our driver Ryan was the best ever, he picked us up from the hotel, he’s very friendly and kind. After we visited the Great Wall he brought us to have a Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony. I strongly recommend this experience to the Mutianyu Great Wall

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.

Beijing Forbidden City Ticket Booking (Optional: guide service)

Vincenzo_C, Mar 2026

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!

Aimee_Z, May 2025

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. 100% recommended

Bejing layover

Brilliant way to spend a layover in Beijing. We were picked up by lilly from the airport and even though we had a 6 hour delay with our flights changing the timings wasn't a problem. It reduced the time we were able to spend at the wall but we still managed to see and do everything we wanted to do. We were picked up in a lovely air con car and driven straight there. Takes about a hour. Even though the driver spoke little English. Using Google translate helped with communication. All our tickets for the wall were bought for in advance and sent to us so we easily passed through the gates with a qr code. I recommended this trip if you have a layover of 7 hours+. We were dropped off back at our hotel of choice near the airport. All very easy to navigate. 100% do this trip, we loved it.
