Fabulous day trip to Mutianyu!
Travelled to Mutianyu with Mr Wu and had a fantastic day! We beat all of the crowds/traffic and I had the Great Wall to myself for the first part of the day. Would highly recommend!

You won’t be disappointed by Linda and this tour!
Cannot recommend this tour and Linda enough! It was absolutely unbelievable. I went with my parents who are both in there 60s (I’m in my 20s) and they can’t stop raving about this tour. Linda made many recommendations before our trip including getting the Great Wall early and thank goodness she did. We were originally going to have this tour at 9am, then she recommended we go much earlier. Though the early start was difficult once we finished the Great Wall and was on our way back, we saw all the traffic that we could have been apart it. Linda was such an incredible tour guide, taking us to a jade museum, ordered lunch for us and took us to a secret shopping area. She even made a reservation and gave us all the information needed for our upcoming dinner at a nice Beijing restaurant. You will be thanking your lucky stars that you picked her by the end. Thank you so much Linda for everything!

Great tour with options in Beijing
Everything was great from the early communication with Linda before arriving to China to Yuehan who was an excellent driver. Pick up at PEK was seamless and drove straight to wall for when I opened at 07:30. He went above and beyond helping with my chair cable ticket and taking some pictures when first up there. Would highly recommend to anyone in Beijing!!

Great option to see great wall
Yuehan was absolutely fantastic he was there when I arrived with a sign and got straight on the road and ended up being at the wall for when it opened at 07:30. He then went above and beyond showing me around and taking some pictures would highly recommend booking this as it gives you flexibility!

Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour with Options: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour with Options 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 Private Tour with Options 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 Private Tour with Options worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 104 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 Private Tour with Options?
+
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 Private Tour with Options 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 Private Tour with Options?
+
Around 36 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 Private Tour with Options 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.

Not included: Great Wall Cable Car/Chairlift up and Toboggan down Ticket; Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
