Leave the crowds behind and visit the serene and beautiful Mutianyu portion of the Great Wall of China. Our knowledgable, English-speaking guide guarantees access to a less crowded, well-preserved section of the wall. Stand in awe of the structure as it winds as far as the eye can see; the verdant hills and humped mountains highlighting its vast and grand nature, rightfully earning it recognition as one of the most impressive architectural feats in the world.

    Excellent day trip with Nancy and Mr. Su

    Had a very wonderful experience with my family seeing The Great Wall and Summer Palace. Our tour guide Nancy was incredibly nice and helpful, explaining the history behind everything we saw, taking us to all the best spots, and even took us for a delicious authentic Beijing lunch. Our driver Mr. Su was also incredibly nice and even stopped to get us all a big case of water for the day, which was very necessary considering how hot it can get in the summer. If you're planning on visiting these spots, definitely go with these guys, you will not be disappointed.

    Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace

    We had an amazing private tour experience on our first family trip to Beijing. Nancy our tour guide was excellent. She gave very insightful and detailed information regarding the historical aspects of both attractions. The modern air conditioned minivan was expertly driven by the driver Mr. Shu. We also asked for authentic Chinese cuisine for Lunch, and were taken to amazing Restaurant with excellent local Beijing style cuisine. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. This was the favorite tour of our trip to China. I highly recommend them.

    All-Inclusive Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does All-Inclusive Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $198 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 Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private 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 Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private 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 Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private 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 Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does All-Inclusive Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private 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.

    What languages is All-Inclusive Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour offered in?

    +

    +

    Is All-Inclusive Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
