    Great Experience at Mutianyu Great Wall

    It has been a very good experience with Ken!!! A good driver, very careful and he explained to us many details of the Great Wall. We left the hotel very early at 6:30, we stopped for breakfast at a typical Chinese place and we were able to arrive at Mutianyu Great Wall very early. This way we were able to enjoy the wall without many tourists. I 100% recommend this Tour with Ken!! 😊 From Barcelona CATALONIA !!

    Awesome tour

    We really enjoyed this tour. The guide (David) picked us up from our hotel and took us to a breakfast place. We ate a traditional Chinese breakfast (many locals were in the restaurant) and we could order as much food as we wanted (we told David what we'd like to eat and he ordered and paid for it) - which was included in our tour. He drove us to the Great Wall. When we arrived, he gave us our tickets to the Great Wall, Skylift, and Toboggan ride as well as instructions on how use the tickets and where to meet him afterwards. The Skylift up to the wall was very smooth. The Great Wall section that was open was very long, so we didn't have enough time to walk all of it before our bus was going to leave, however we were tired enough that we wouldn't have made it the entire way anyway. I was nervous about the toboggan ride down the wall, but it was very nice, because we could control our speed and the slope was gradual. It was slightly scary to make a curve because I was afraid I'd tip over, but I didn't. It was a very slow ride down, because the people in front of us were moving extremely slowly. When we reached the bottom, we had a little bit of time left to shop and eat at a restaurant. David met us there and let us take our time and leave whenever we were ready. I really enjoyed that David helped me practice my Mandarin and talked a lot about everyday topics with us. I was able to use my We Chat account to contact him when we were ready to leave the Great Wall. I recommend this tour!

    Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 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 Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing?

    +

    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 Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Early Bird Great Wall Private Tour with Chinese Breakfast from Beijing 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.
