Top Beijing Lunch Cruises

Skip the expense of private transfers and the stress of negotiating public transit and enjoy a comfortable visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Get a first-hand peek at parapets and watchtowers set into a rugged landscape—without any time-wasting shopping stops. Tours include return bus fares, entry fees, and shuttle bus but exclude cable car or toboggan tickets; upgrade for a buffet lunch, guided trek, or the Summer Palace.

Eat your way around Beijing’s old "hutong" alleyways and courtyards on a small-group tour. Enjoy several food stops at tucked-away restaurants and homes you wouldn’t find by yourself. Sample staples such as Beijing hotpot, noodles, beef buns, and spring pancakes. Learn about local cuisine over unlimited beers and soda, and enjoy a stop at a local brewery, with a pint of craft beer included. Make sure to bring your appetite.

Reaching the Mutianyu Great Wall by public transport is challenging: It’s not uncommon for scammers to misdirect travelers altogether. Make life easier with a choice of packages, either by bus from a central location or by private car from your hotel. Book bus transfers with entry tickets, or add lunch; upgrade for a private tour with lunch and your choice of two guided hikes or free time at the wall.

The Great Wall of China is a must-see destination, but getting there and back on your own can be difficult. Simplify your day and explore the Great Wall independently with private transportation and hotel pickup from Beijing. Enjoy ample time to walk the Mutianyu section, with admission and shuttle bus ride included. After exploring, your English-speaking driver will transport you back to your hotel.

Escape the crowds around the Great Wall of China and visit the ancient Mutianyu section on a full-day sightseeing tour from Beijing. Accompanied by a guide, learn the history behind the 6th-century section and marvel at the spectacular natural scenery that surrounds it. See impressive parapets and defensive watch towers and enjoy an optional cable car ride if you wish (own expense). An authentic Chinese lunch and convenient, round-trip transportation from your Beijing hotel are also included.
