Sunset tour

Do the sunset tour- it is truly magnificent. My friend and I went with driver Jackie, and it was an incredible experience. The views are unbelievable, and this section of the wall isn’t busy so you can experience everything without a huge crowd. We had time to explore, hike, and enjoy the views and met up for a drink at sunset. The small group of 5 made logistics and transportation easy as well.

One of the best bus transports I've ever had, go to the great wall with them

Usually these bus transports are pretty dull, the guide is nice and gives us information and that's about it. The tour with mr mike was different, from the start he was cracking hilarious jokes and was so enthusiastic that it was so memorable and gave us a whole lot of information. The mubus team was so organized around timing, luggage storage, information etc and the buffet lunch was totally worth it. Lots of Chinese food with some adapted western food for people that can't handle it haha.

Absolutely don’t miss this!

If there is one thing and just one tour you can do in China, this will be it. Absolutely perfectly organised tour. Started with a steep climb of 1000 steps and then the entire hike was so easy. We saw so may coming from the opposite direction who really struggled. Great views, no rush in the initial sections, great for pictures too. We are also vegetarian and they had organised excellent Chinese food for us. Really loved it. Special mention to our most wonderful guide David (Dewit) absolutely fantastic guy! Really enjoyed the tour because of him. Gave us lot of time too! 5 stars for him!

Best Great Wall Trip

Kathy is an incredibly professional guide providing historical information and practical tips to ensure an excellent experience at Great Wall. Punctual, ensured we avoided long queues by leaving early and also queuing on our behalf to take toboggan down, also took trouble to explain the dynasties and key info to understand historical events. Tea ceremony was also a nice surprise to round off the day. We highly recommend!

High-level cultural visit

The tour was very enriching. My guide, Miko, provided a great level of information about the history of the place and of China. I highly recommend this guided tour. The Temple of Heaven is much more than just a pretty place for photos; we must respect its history.

Marco, our tour guide,...

Marco, our tour guide, made this experience perfect. He was very polite and accommodating, told us the history of the forbidden city with the right amount of details, and was kind enough at the end of the tour to offer recommendations for food in Beijing. I would definitely recommend.
