A very convenient tour and a very helpful guide. The Badaling section is extremely picturesque and worth a visit.

Disappointed
It was only a big bus to transport you to and from the destination. No real guide or tour . Could have done this by myself
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. This tour is designed mainly as a transportation service with pre-arranged tickets and basic on-board assistance, while on-site exploration is done independently. We understand your concern and will continue to improve our service descriptions and guest communication to ensure expectations are clearer before booking. Thank you again for your comments.

Great Experience
It was well organised by Amy. The views were breathtaking. We had a great time. We highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Amy organized the tour so well and that you enjoyed the breathtaking views. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you again on another memorable BusDa adventure in Beijing!

Aria is a very...
Aria is a very professional tour guide, She refund some fee because we overpaid tickets and explained to me why the ancient Great Wall part was cancelled. I highly recommend her service for any Beijing tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Aria provided such professional service, including the refund for the overpaid tickets and clear explanation regarding the cancellation of the ancient Great Wall part. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re so glad you had a great experience with her. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future!

Did not comply with the offer
The reserve was for visiting "two different types of walls". When I arrived at the meeting place, I was told that the two walls were NOT available, that only one wall would be visited, and that there was NO refund. Finally, I made a single wall, and without any guide, that is, I did it alone, as the guide left with the group that performed other additional activities to pay an additional cost. The guide is called Evelyn. She tried to do her best (you can tell if she knows her job), but having 40 people alone... I think that makes the experience not suitable for a foreign visitor.
Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize for the experience you had and the inconvenience caused. We understand how frustrating it must have been not being able to visit both sections of the Great Wall and the lack of a guide during the tour. We appreciate your understanding and recognition of Evelyn’s efforts. We will take steps to improve group organization to ensure that all our clients receive the service they expect. If you have any further comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus Tour?
+
Around 3 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 BusDa:Badaling Great Wall Full-day Bus 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.
