Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour

Liza_B, Sep 2026

Only way to go…..private.

It was a great experience. Although Mondays are the busiest days to visit, we beat the crowds. Thanks to Jenny for recommending to go early. Thanks to Joe for being our driver. He spoke English. . Got us there quickly, beat the lines and hundreds of people arriving. Joe recommended the chairlift. The views were spectacular and dropped us off at tower 4. We enjoyed going at our pace to walk to other towers. Couldn’t believe how few people were there. Awesome! Highly recommend this private tour. Good communication. Spending the extra money is worth it.

The Best Way to See the Great Wall

I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to view the Great Wall and not have to hassle with crowds or logistics. Yuehan met us at our hotel and spoke excellent English. From pick up to drop off, he was very personable and accommodating. It was nice riding in comfort. The car was clean and it was nice having bottled water and candies for the ride. Once there, Yuehan took care of all of the arrangements and got us on our way. He stayed with us at the first tower and took some nice pictures of my wife and I. The private service was totally worth it. The best way to see the Great Wall.

This all-inclusive tour...

This all-inclusive tour is awesome and highly recommended if you have a full day to explore Beijing. Jennie made the experience extra special with the knowledge and history that she shared about each location and additional spots along the trip. Jennie even was not only the group’s tour guide, but special photographer to ensure special sightseeing iconic pictures were captured. Make sure you use Agape tour group as your provider and try to get Jennie if possible.

Special and enriching

Our tour guide was Melinda, and she was incredible. Thanks to her guidance we were able to skip a lot of the queues (which without a tour guide could easily take you 2+Hours) and fully enjoy this experience. She's very knowledgeable about the history of these places, even telling us side stories and taken us to some less crowded areas that felt almost secret and special. I would absolutely recommend you book this tour !

Exemplary!!

We had two lovely days with Erica as our guide. She thought us so much about the history and culture of Beijing and China. She is absolutely knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had limited time and were able to see all of the highlights in two days, impossible on our own. The food was delicious and abundant. Thank you Erica!

Mina is an awesome guide!

This was a fantastic experience! Mina was a terrific guide. She expertly led us through the ticketing process and booking this tour allowed us to use an expedited security line that saved us at least an hour or two. Mina provided useful background information and helped take photos at the best spots! I’d highly recommend this tour! Thanks Mina!

Great tour of the Great Wall

We had a private family tour Lucy who was an amazing tour guide! She and our driver Yang were right on time for the pick-up at the hotel. Lucy had an in-depth knowledge of the historical and cultural aspects of the tour, and she explained everything in very easy-to-understand english. We were there on a monday during the school holidays (the busiest day of the week), but she managed to make the experience fun and informative. The car ride was very comfortable on a very hot day. Highly recommend both Lucy and Yang.

Once in a lifetime experience

I had a wonderful time in Beijing, China 🇨🇳. I could not have done any of it without the great help and inspiration from my tour guide Ms. May. She took me to numerous places like the Great Wall of China and the Panda Zoo, including local tea, jade and silk shops. Even her driver, Dong Xue Fei went the extra mile with kind and courteous behaviors. You both made this trip an unforgettable experience for me. Thank you.

I want to share our...

I want to share our feedback regarding the recently arranged tour for one of our clients. The tour was initially booked for two days. At the client’s request, the schedule was adjusted by shifting one day later, and we appreciate that the change was handled smoothly without any complications. During follow-up, the client expressed clear satisfaction with the overall tour experience. Special appreciation was mentioned for the tour guide’s professional attitude and courteous behavior. The guide managed the itinerary efficiently and covered multiple attractions to the extent that the client did not feel the need to visit all remaining spots on the second day. Overall, the service was well-organized, and the client was happy with the experience. We look forward to continuing our cooperation.
