    Worth taking!

    My son and I had a great time. Our guide Shane was very knowledgeable and showed us the best views and history of the wall! Definitely recommend.

    Response from the operator: That sounds great! Your feedback is the best way to check our service quality, and we will keep the good services to everyone, and thank you for your time and welcome again :-)

    Bucket list, ticked but we’ll be back

    We landed at 4.30am, and had previously arranged to meet Tony @ 6.40am, but when we exited arrivals at 6am Tony was already there, great start and the day only got better. Tony was very informative & engaging, my 3 girls quizzed him relentlessly for the duration for the tour. We were on the wall for about 2.5hrs & then dropped back to the airport at midday, we couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend the sunrise tour, it exceeded our expectations, and the excursion (6 hrs) only convinced me that next time we’ll layover for a few days, thanks Tony.

    "Amazing Great Wall Tour"

    We had great service from Tony and his team. Jessica our tour guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable!

    Breathtaking private tour

    Worth EVERY penny! Jessica was an amazing tour guide - she really wanted to understand what I was interested in so she could make sure I had the best possible experience. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the fantastic driver, but he did amazing job making sure I felt safe during the rush hour traffic. Tony the tour coordinator even help facilitate a last minute (late night!) change in pick up/drop off. My only complaint is that my layover was too short - I will 100% be returning and can't wait to book with this group again. Stop researching, you've found the right place here =)

    Fantastic morning at Huanghuacheng Great Wall

    Tony was fantastic to deal with, I had great service with very prompt responses to my inquiries and concerns. The booking process was simple and the price very reasonable for a party of two ($250). We arrived at the wall just as the sun was beginning to rise, and we were lucky the air was clear and the sky had few clouds. The climb to the wall was not difficult for someone with average ability. There were no other people there on that morning, so we could climb up and down parts of the wall with no interruptions. Absolutely an amazing adventure, packed into just a few short hours.

    Badaling Great Wall, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Badaling Great Wall, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day 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 Badaling Great Wall, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day 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 Badaling Great Wall, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day 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 Badaling Great Wall, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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, Sacred Tomb, Olympic Park Private Day 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.
