Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Mutianyu Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing, China. It is about 70 kilometers away from downtown Beijing and takes about 1.5 hours. In the morning, we arrived at the most beautiful section of the Great Wall - the Mutianyu Great Wall. Compared with the Badaling Great Wall, there are relatively fewer tourists here, allowing you to fully enjoy the grandeur and tranquility of the Great Wall. Wandering among the ancient bricks and stones, touching the traces of time, listening to the tour guide tell the historical stories of the Great Wall, one can feel the wisdom and tenacity of the ancients. You can choose to take the cable car up and down, or the ropeway up and the slide down. Both methods can easily reach the heights and offer a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the Great Wall.

After visiting the Great Wall, a sumptuous Chinese buffet lunch is waiting for you. The restaurant is located near the Great Wall and offers a variety of authentic Beijing specialties and classic snacks, as well as pizza, French fries, fried chicken nuggets, fruits, beverages and so on.

Summer Palace
After lunch, drive to the Summer Palace. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to drive there. The Summer Palace is one of the largest and best-preserved imperial gardens in China. Follow the tour guide and stroll along the world's longest gallery - the Long Corridor. More than 14,000 exquisite murals come into view, each one a crystallization of historical stories and art. Climbing up the Buddha Incense Pavilion, one can overlook the rippling waters of Kunming Lake, the shuttling boats, and the Seventeen-arch Bridge spanning the lake, creating a charming contrast with the green trees and red flowers along the shore. You can also choose to take a cruise ship and float on Kunming Lake, immersing yourself in the leisurely charm of the royal garden. The tour guide provided considerate explanations along the way, sharing the architectural art and historical anecdotes of the Summer Palace, allowing you to fully appreciate the unique charm of this imperial garden.

Fantastic trip
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Linda messaged me prior to the trip with all the details and itinerary information. Everything ran very smoothly and as we went early in the morning there we didn’t have to queue. Jessica my guide was brilliant, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable

Best Guide Ever
Linda picked us in our hotel. She even arrived before our pickup time. We were almost the first group to arrive at the Great Wall due to her puntuality. Linda is very fluent in English and we had a fabulous time with her. Our trip to the Great Wall was so much fun. She communicated well and showed us the best way there(cable car, part of the way) and took great pictures for us. Her interactions with others was also amiable. When we needed lunch she recommended Great places since we were new to the city and the food. Our trip to the Summer Palace with her was another memorable one. Linda was also on time, very patient with us and told us about the history of the palace. I would recommend Linda and have already told my friends to use her when they come to Beijing. She was so good that I asked her to recommend guides for us in different cities that we plan to visit. Linda is the best!

Experiencing Beijing, China For The First Time
I Asked GOD for his best English-speaking Tour provider; and It Was Linda Tours, which assisted me in making My First Trip To Beijing, China A Great Success By Allowing Me Real Flexibility To Maximize My Transit Time Schedule. Linda Shared Great Knowledge About Each Of The Places Visited. I Highly Recommend Linda Tours. Linda Tours Was Very Punctual With The Pickup Time. Professionalism and Good Courtesy Were Displayed and Experienced Throughout The Whole Tour. The Big Plus/Bonus For Me Was The Airport Pickup and Drop-Off Which Was Provided By Linda Tours. Linda Tours used a new full size comfortable vehicle.

All-inclusive Mutianyu 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 Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $28 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 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 Wall and Summer Palace Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". 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 Mutianyu 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 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 Wall and Summer Palace Private 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 Mutianyu 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.
