What you'll see and do
Mutianyu Great Wall
Hotel pick-up at your downtown hotel lobby or designated meeting point. We will then drive directly to Mutianyu Great Wall, famed for its spectacular natural scenery — lush forests and vivid landscapes that change beautifully with every season. Located in Huairou District, northeast of Beijing, this section is roughly 75 km from the city centre. As one of the best-preserved and most scenic sections of the Great Wall, Mutianyu historically served as a key northern defensive barrier protecting the capital. You may take the cable car up onto the wall. You can opt to hike along the ramparts and admire stunning panoramic views, or choose cable car round-trip. Another option: chairlift up followed by a toboggan ride for a fun, unforgettable descent. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to the meeting point.

Great Organized Tour to the Great Wall with Maggie!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience today at the Great Wall of China being guided by Maggie. She gave very thorough explanations about the wall’s history and also answered other questions for us about Beijing as it was many of the group members first day in the city. Thank you for introducing me to this great wonder of the world I will never forget it.

Mutianyu Private car service was excellent!
Our 1day private car service to Mutianyu Great Wall was very smoother than expected as our driver Mr Shu (許師父)was extremely helpful and knowledgeable during our 1.5 hr ride to Mutianyu Great Wall. He tirelessly pointed out landmarks and significant places/buildings to us relating its history. The car was clean and spacious and the ride was smooth. Mr Shu was early in picking us up from hotel and he patiently waited for us with admirable politeness and courtesy. When we arrived at Mutianyu, Mr Shu provided more than expected services by walking with us to entrance, to shops and restaurant for lunch. He helped us order our dishes and waited near by in case we needed anything. Incredible service ! Will definitely use Lily Tours again !!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled Driver Mr. Shu provided such exceptional, thoughtful service—from his informative commentary during the ride, clean and comfortable car, early pickup, to going above and beyond by assisting you at the wall, shops, and restaurant. We truly appreciate you choosing Lily Tours and can’t wait to welcome you back again! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

Great Wall - Great Tour
Great Wall - great tour. Starting of with Tianmen square and the forbidden city. Our tour guide Jeffrey took good care of us, by navigating us through the masses at forbidden city, knowing all the short cuts and all the important information. After this our driver Xu took us safely to the Great Wall Mutianyu, including a stop for lunch (buffet style). Great Wall was stunning. Going up by chairlift and going down by toboggan was fun. The walk on the wall has some steep sections, but you will be rewarded with awesome views. So all in all a great tour, with Jeffrey and Xu making it as comfortable as possible for you. Thanks!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you so much for your wonderful review!We’re so glad you had an amazing tour with Jeffrey and Xu, and enjoyed the Great Wall.We’ll pass your thanks to them, and hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $48 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets?
+
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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets?
+
Around 4 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets 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 Group Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall with Admission Tickets?

+

+
