Mutianyu Great Wall Great experience
Great experience climbing section of the wall even though it was a misty day. When visibility improved we could see whole valley section between watchtowers. Our guide Susan Shan really helped make the experience great and we climbed as far as we wanted. Tour had been upgraded from small group to a private tour so we travelled by car. Thanks for explaining everything on the journal Susan. Would recommend this company.

Great day out at Great Wall Mutianyu
Had the most wonderful experience at the amazing Mutianyu part of the Great Wall. Our guide Sherry along with our driver were very attentive, they drove us to get JianBiang for our breakfast before the tour started, it was very delicious! I would highly recommend Mutianyu, this was part of the Great Wall that we researched this area being supposedly more quieter with a lot less people. When we got there, we were amazed how true this was and had the greatest day. After this, we were taken to a local restaurant where we had some very delicious food. My husband and I both love spicy food and Sherry was very accommodating and made sure she ordered dishes we would like! All in all, it was a great day and the weather was perfect too!

A wonderful tour with Barry.
Brilliant tour! Barry was great - great fun to be with and knowledgeable . The wall was incredible- very busy and hot! One area of caution is to take care when visiting a tea ceremony in the tourist area - very easy to be charged a fortune! Overall we really enjoyed the tour.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 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 Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets)?
+
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 Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets)?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) 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 is included in Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets)?

Not included: Gratuities; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Beijing Mini Group Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall (Max 8+Tickets) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2305 listed pickup locations in and around Beijing. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

+
