A wonderful day at the Great Wall

Nicoletta_C, Sep 2026

Fantastic experience with an amazing guide (Cassie) which shown us the beaty and the story of the Great Wall. Perfect service for a wonderful day.

Aurora and Mr Chen made all the difference

Amber_W, Sep 2026

We had an absolutely amazing experience visiting the Great Wall and Forbidden City! Our guide, Aurora, was fantastic! Knowledgeable friendly, patient and made the history of both places come alive. Having a private guide made the day so much easier and allowed us to see more without feeling rushed. Mr Chen, our driver was excellent as well. He was professional, courteous and made getting around town easy and stress free. The car was clean, stocked with water and fun snacks. The air conditioner was much needed as it was a hot day. We originally booked the Great Wall tour and decided to add the Forbidden City as an additional stop. Adding it was incredibly easy- we simply messaged the tour company and they made all the arrangements for us. The communication was excellent and the entire process was seamless. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing, especially if you want a knowledgeable guide - ask for Aurora -and a stress free way to experience two of the city most iconic sights. Thank you Aurora and Mr. Chen for sharing your history and culture with us, we truly appreciated it and had an amazing time!

Best Day in Beijing

Andrew_D, Jun 2026

I highly recommend this tour if coming to Beijing. Sherry was an amazing guide! She took our pictures and helped us with tickets and waiting in line. By having the VIP experience we skipped the shuttle and went early enough to not have to wait in line. The Great Wall was beautiful and having private transportation was great. If you have limited time in Beijing this is a great tour to book!

Excellent Great Wall tour

Moji_J, May 2026

I had a wonderful experience visiting the Mutianyu Great Wall with Lily as my tour guide. From the beginning of the tour, Lily was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to talk to. Her English was excellent, which made the entire experience much more enjoyable and informative. During the drive and throughout the tour, we had many interesting conversations and shared plenty of laughs. She has a warm personality that made me feel comfortable immediately, and it felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than being on a formal tour. Lily was very knowledgeable about the Great Wall and the surrounding area. She provided helpful historical and cultural information while also giving practical advice that made the visit smoother and more enjoyable. She pointed out different access points and sections of the Wall, explained the differences between them, and helped me make the most of my time there. What I particularly appreciated was that she never rushed me. She allowed me to explore the Wall at my own pace and patiently waited while I enjoyed the experience. Considering the hot weather, I was especially grateful for her patience and professionalism throughout the day. She also went above and beyond by sharing many recommendations for other places to visit in Beijing, local food suggestions, and additional activities that helped me plan the rest of my trip. Her advice was extremely useful, and I ended up enjoying several places that I might not have discovered otherwise. The driver was also professional, polite, and made the long journey comfortable and stress-free. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Overall, this was one of the highlights of my trip to China. Lily's knowledge, professionalism, excellent English, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm made the experience memorable. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting the Great Wall, especially international travelers looking for a guide who is both informative and personable. Overall, my visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall was such an enjoyable and memorable experience!

Everything was perfectly...

Krzysztof_S, May 2026

Everything was perfectly organised - we are very satisfied. The guide told a lot about the great wall and the China history.

Best Winter Trip to Great Wall

Celine_C, Dec 2025

We booked the VIP Great Wall of China tour and we had a great time there. Our tour guide Andy made our trip so easy & comfortable for us, ensuring that we don’t get caught up with the crowd (which is impt when you have elderly folks traveling with you). He is also very knowledgeable in sharing the history of the place. We extended our trip to visit the Ming Tombs, Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven of which Andy brought us through every important part of the attraction and shared with us the history in detail which is so important to us. All admission fees were taken care of by Andy and we didn’t have to worry about it at all. Easy access right through to every point. Thanks Andy for everything!

Super fun tour

Elise_G, Nov 2025

I had so much fun! My tour guide was very knowledgeable of the Beijing’s history and the history of the wall as we were rode. The tour guide came with a driver and they picked me up right at my hotel, on time. When we got there, they took a bunch of photos of me at the wall in different areas. Great driving. Very punctual and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend if you’re solo traveling and looking for an easy way to see one of the 7 wonders!
