Great wall great trip
We had booked a cruise around Asia And was looking for something to do whilst we were staying in Beijing for s few days, checked out trip advisor,like we all do, and found this great trip which was a great price. We meet out guide at our hotel which had been confirmed the day before. The Great wall has been on bucket for a few years, but we have done it also the Ming tombs and a traditional tea ceremony. Would book with Viator again

Good visit
I liked the Tombs and the Great Wall but definitely not the Jade shop. Total waste of time. I wished I had stayed longer on the wall instead of having the mandatory shopping stops...
via Viator
An excellent visit to our past.
The walls, the tombs and the day tour in Beijing are places we will never forget. The history of mankind in action. Take your time for access because the trafic is very intense.

Good!
Very nice trip. And very cheap! 1 h visiting Ming Tombs, 1 h Jade Factory, 2 h at the Great Wall. About 12 h in total. Very nice and talkative guide. Only the essential information about China and the sites we visited.

Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs
Excellent, full day. The Badaling section was not crowded and awesome. The Ming Tomb part was also very good. Included lunch was fine, next door to Jade Factory (really a jade market). The afternoon tea tasting was also very fun. The vendors do try to market the products at the jade market and tea stop, but overall an excellent value for a full day tour!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing 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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 11 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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing?
+
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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing 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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing?
+
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 Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing 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 Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. 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.
