    Honest, fast service, great english. Highly recommend her services!

    Dear traveller, I haven’t come a tour agents as honest, cooperative, and service-minded as Catherine. I had quite a bit of hassle with my booking, but she managed to sort everything out efficiently and even ensured I received a full refund for my mistaken booking. Her communication is excellent, prompt, clear, and fluent in English. I’ve booked many tours over the years, and I can honestly say I cannot recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU

    Our great experience on the Great Wall

    If you don't want to be overwhelmed with thousands of tourists in one of the wonders of the modern world, this tour is the one you should hire. Catherine was a guide who showed us the most local part of the hiking experience on the Great Wall, we ate great, we took incredible photos and enjoyed a good walk, being able to rest one night in a very nice hotel. If you want to avoid the tourist mass you will love this tour.

    2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Great Wall Hiking: Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou &Jinshanling start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
