Great experience at the Great Wall
I had a great experience with my guide Edward at Mutianyu. We started early at 7 pm , which was a very helpful suggestion of Edward, because doing so we had a quiet time at the wall for the first hours. Nice lunch was included and I enjoyed very much my time at a teahouse, which E. brought me to. Very interesting information from Edward about Chinese history while driving. We also visited Summer Palace, which I wouldn‘t recommend on a Sunday and Chinese Holiday - very crowded - but I had no other chance for a visit and got a pleasant first Impression as well, again with very helpful information from E.

Great tour
Great tour with the family A lot of queue in summer for the chair lift and the slide but all’ in all it was worth it Not enough time at the end for the summer palace
Response from the operator: Thanks for your review, It is true that summer vacation is high season in China, chairlift/toboggan queue is much longer than cable car queue, so cable car is suggested in high season comparing to toboggan, toboggan slide down one by one with enough gap, so the queue is long with the number of tourists.

All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $185 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 All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour 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 12 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 All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour?
+
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 All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Great wall and Summer palace VIP Pivate Tour 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.
