    Book the trip that includes the meal.

    Worth booking with the optional lunch - maybe it was because of the 4 hour hike beforehand, but the meal at the end tasted fantastic! Our guide Kevin spoke excellent English and had a good sense of humour, with lots of useful information. You really want to ensure you get at least 3-4 hours on the wall included in the timing of your visit.

    Great visit to the Great Wall!!

    Meeting point was easy to find and Kevin was friendly, bubbly and enthusiastic. Trip to the wall was ok, we found the legroom on the bus was a little cramped especially for my husband with long legs. Cable car tickets were easily acquired from Kevin and all went smoothly thanks to Kevin’s clear instructions. The Great Wall was much steeper than expected but we climbed as much as we liked in the time we had. Cable Cars trips were lovely. Lunch was great and we had the chance to meet some of the other travellers which was great.

    Great tour

    Very well organized and Kevin is a great tour guide. We were able to visit both sides, almost no lines (only for the tobogán) .

    Excellent day trip

    Linda was excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and clear. Lunch was included but drinks cost extra, that was the only annoying part.

    Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 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:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 99 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch?

    +

    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:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch?

    +

    Around 35 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch 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:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch(if option selected); English-speaking tour guide; Two-way Transportation By Bus; and Entrance tickets (if option selected). Not included: Cable Car or Slide way (optional); and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch?

    +

    Take the subway line 5, Zhangzizhong Road, the southeast exit of the subway station, Exit C During morning working hours, there may be heavy traffic jam. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch offered in?

    +

    +

    What happens to Beijing:Mutianyu Great Wall Daily Tour with Ticket & Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +
