    Would highly recommend ! Driver was brilliant

    This trip was amazing ! The tour guide picked us up from the hotel! Took us upto The Great Wall ! All tickets where included in the price !he walked us through right upto the cable cart lift. We went up on the cable carts and then walked about for half an hour. Then got the toboggan back down the mountain! Honestly 10 outta 10 we had such an amazing day. The driver had water for us getting into the vehicle and getting back to it after our tour! Very polite and kind even through google translate.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you so much for your perfect 10/10 review! We’re thrilled you loved the full experience including hotel pickup, all-inclusive tickets, cable car and fun toboggan ride down the Great Wall. It’s lovely to know our thoughtful driver prepared water for you and treated you politely despite the language barrier. We will share your wonderful feedback with our guide and driver! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

    A* tour from Lucy and Lily's tour

    We had an excellent time on this tour. We were forunate enough to experience both good weather and short queues on the day, with the toboggan ride being a highlight. The smaller group size works well as it felt intimate and there was plenty of time to ask any questions to our guide Lucy, who was equally as great and provided lots of information during the bus ride to the wall. Organisational wise, this tour removes the hassle of having to buy everything independently whilst also learning some facts about both Beijing and the Great Wall.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a lovely review!We’re thrilled to hear you had an excellent tour with good weather, short queues and enjoyed the toboggan ride.It’s wonderful that the small group size allowed for a more personal experience and plenty of time with Lucy, who always shares great insights during the trip.We’re glad we could take the hassle out of your Great Wall adventure and hope to welcome you back to Beijing soon! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

    Long layover Great Wall tour

    We had a wonderful tour experience with Lucy and Mr Wong! Lucy was very patient waiting for us as we were delayed through immigration when we landed. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and easy to communicate with. And as we were delayed she was very good at improvising and adjusting the schedule to make the most of our time. The great wall was incredible and not busy at all. She arranged for us to go to a local authentic local restaurant afterwards and the food was delicious! Thanks Lucy and Mr Wong for a very memorable day! And thanks for your patience especially with my two very excited (and tired!) little children!! 😀

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest Wow, this heartfelt review absolutely made our day! We can’t thank you enough for sharing such a lovely experience with Lucy and Mr. Wong. It means so much to us that Lucy stayed so patient during your immigration delay, and skillfully improvised the itinerary to ensure you still had an amazing time. We’re thrilled the Great Wall was quiet and spectacular, and that the local restaurant treat turned out to be such a hit. We especially appreciate your kind words about Lucy taking good care of your excited and tired little ones—she’s always so caring with families. We’ll make sure Lucy and Mr. Wong hear every bit of your lovely feedback, and we hope you’ll come back to explore more with us soon! The best Regards Annie

    Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall 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 Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 25 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: Mutianyu Great Wall 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 Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour?

    +

    Around 9 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall 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 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.
