Mr Guo was at our hotel on time. He was very friendly and spoke English very well. He’s very considerate and made sure that we knew what was going on. He gave us tips and took great photos of us. Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience to visit the Great Wall with my wife.
Jack is a very well experienced guy, he drove us there back and forth from our hotel and additionally he shared with us key information about the Great Wall.
I highly recommend this tour and if you can ask for Jack to be your driver it will be even better

Our tour guide Jim, was very knowledgeable, friendly and went the extra mile to make our tour of the Great Wall extra special. Picked us up from the hotel lobby and took us right up to the wall, even taking us to the best photo spots and taking pictures for us. Thank you so much!

We had such a great experience at the Great Wall, all thanks to Ken! His English was fantastic and was such a great driver as well. He made the whole process so easy, and he also took great photos of us! I highly recommend booking your tour with Ken!

We had a fantastic day at the Mutianyu Great Wall with our driver Jack. We are traveling with two young kids (6 and 9), and he made the whole experience stress-free. He was punctual, drove very safely, and his knowledge of the Great Wall's history was impressive—he really helped bring the site to life for us. He was patient with the kids and helped us navigate the tickets and cable car. If you want a reliable and friendly driver in Beijing, he is the one to book!

The driver David was very friendly and cheerful and bang on time, as well as being a very safe driver. He let us take our time too.

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.

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!

This is a wonderful way to visit a really beautiful section of the Great Wall. Our driver Jack was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable. He showed up on time and took great care to make us as comfortable as possible. The car was in superb condition and Jack made sure that we were comfortable at all times

We had a great day! Mr Ping, our driver, was super - on time, safe driving, and he told us a lot about the city of Beijing and the Great Wall as well as answering our varied questions about life here. The Wall was incredible to see. We took the chair lift up, walked for a few hours (bring good shoes- some spots were surprisingly steep! ) and then took the toboggan down which was super fun. Definitely would recommendnthis company and Mr Ping as a driver.
Grace_B, Apr 2026
Peter was great! He made the experience super easy and enjoyable and was very kind and prompt. He also added special touches to the trip to make it memorable. 10/10 recommend!!
claudia_d, Apr 2026
We went today do the great wall with Peter and he took a great care of us, arriving on time, giving recommendations and he is great with our child as well, highly recommended!!!!

Joe was absolutley brilliant, picked us up nice and early 5:45am, which I recommend as when we arrive we were onto the wall with not many people and got a great experience. By the time we finished the queue just to enter was huge! Really helpful and knowledgable about the whole trip, I would 100% recommended for anyone looking for a private guide for the wall. We chose to do the walking part ourselves but Joe offered to come if we wanted. Waited for us at the end ready to set off. Great English and good music in the car too!

We loved our tour with Ruby! She was amazing. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in downtown Beijing and driven to the Great Wall. ruby pointed out local sites that’s we passed and answered any questions we had. She also helped us to purchase lift/Tobaggon tickets and accompanied us up to the wall to help explain direction and take group pics before meeting us back down. We couldn't have asked for more and would highly recommend her! Thanks for the great tour!
Nicholas_J, Mar 2026
Great experience! Our driver, Naomi, was on time waiting for us in the hotel lobby with a sign, very easy to spot. She was very courteous and spoke great English. She was super cute with our little son Myles who’s 1 year old. She gave great instructions on the process, what we needed to do and where we needed to go. We felt like VIP going straight to the cable cars and she came with us to take some great pictures. We definitely recommended this tour. 5 stars!! Thank you Naomi!!
Tamara_L, Mar 2026
Firstly, Naomi is a dear and warm person. She’s great at adapting towards the needs of the group (after a long flight especially) and supportive with plentiful recommendations and guidance.
She created a day without any friction for us, together with a stunning Great Wall experience, which we are very thankful for.
5 stars from us!
Nick_B, Mar 2026
Such an awesome trip to the Great Wall with Michael as our guide. Early start meant we were the first on the wall so pictures were excellent! Would definitely recommend.
Tonya_D, Mar 2026
Rose was amazing! Prompt pickup, snacks and water provided. She secured our tickets and took many photos of our trip to the Great Wall. She was super nice and knowledgeable. Will request Rose again for future needs while in Beijing!!!
Liam_G, Mar 2026
Simply great. From the start the hotel pickup was easy, our driver Mr Guo came into the hotel lobby to greet us. Upon entering the car he offered us bottled water and bananas. There was also a phone charger (much needed on the way home). The driving was safe and smooth, and we got to the wall before the hoards of tourist buses. Mr Guo then continued to help, assisting us to buy cable car tickets, showing us the cleanest bathrooms, and then coming with us to the first section of the wall to take a photo of us. Mr Guo was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make the day special. 5 stars!
Lori_L, Mar 2026
Jack was our guide and spoke great English. He helped us booked the tickets for the cable ride up and toboggan down.
He has a lovely car and was a good driver.
Jackson_W, Mar 2026
Got a 6am ride from Jack who met us in the lobby of our hotel in Beijing. Took the chairlift up and we were the only 2 on the Great Wall! Hung out for around 2 hours then took the toboggan down. Chairlift and toboggan aren’t included, but still pretty cheap. It was a blast! Communication was great from Jenny leading up to departure and Jack took good care of us during the day. Would definitely recommend!
