    First class. Tour provider excellent

    From start to finish very professional. The guide Selina was excellent. She was very easy to be with and chatted freely. She talked about are previous experiences in China. She was shocked when we told her the first time was 40 years ago 1985. The year she was born. The trip was very relaxed to being rushed or pressured. Her knowledge of the sites visited was first class, but didn't over burden us with facts/details. The transport vehicle very comfortable and driver provided a very smooth relaxed ride. The meal provided was varied and of good quality in an up market restaurant. Selina checked for allergies and likes and dislikes before ordering. Excellent service well provided and a good price

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for valuable review and we will continue to offer high quality service to future customers.

    This is a wonderful tour for anyone...

    <p>This is a wonderful tour for anyone who wants to experience the ancient history of China. But the tour was made worthwhile by my outstanding tour guide, Angie. She was not only knowledgeable of the area but was able to put the sites within the timeline of Chinese history in an understandable way. If there was something she was not sure of she would look up the facts to provide the most accurate information--unlike some tour guides I experienced. If you are lucky enough to take this tour, insist on having Angie as your tour guide. The tour began at 8:30 a.m. with the Juyongguan section of the Great Wall. This is a popular location that is quite busy and commercialized but the scenery was very beautiful. We then began the first part of the tour of the Ming Tombs that included a wonderful and peaceful stroll down the Sacred Way. Lunch was enjoyed at one of the most beautiful restaurants that I visited in China with entertainment, wonderful décor and delicious food. Finally the day closed with a visit to the underground tomb of a Ming emperor. The tour was wonderful and well worth the money. The tour guide, Angie, made it a great experience.</p>

    Maria was an excellent guide for us...

    <p>Maria was an excellent guide for us on our tour . Low key, fun but with interesting knowledge to share she was a perfect match for us as non your kind of people. The full day she sorted and we shared a great lunch that was really delicious - not westernized ! Thank you Maria and Wikibeijing !</p>

    Worth it. </p> <p>Instead of being...

    <p>Worth it. </p> <p>Instead of being packed onto a bus full of 49 other tourists to be schlepped off to the jade factory for 2 hours and the Great Wall for 30 minutes, I chose to go the private tour route. I'm glad I did. I've been to Badaling before, but I think Juyongguan is nicer. The Wall here is a loop, and encircles the road that comes through the pass. There was no separate stop for shopping, which was as advertised, but we did request a stop at the gift shop for a cold beverage and so we could pick up a few souvenirs. </p> <p>Our guide called in sick, but the company owner showed up only about 2 minutes after the appointed pick-up time to lead the tour himself. Everything was as expected. Lunch was at a decent place. Our guide joined us for lunch, so we were able to continue or education as we dined. For the two of us we were provided with a driver, guide, and minivan. This was a trouble-free tour.</p>

    Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb cost?

    +

    Prices start at $8 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb?

    +

    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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb?

    +

    Around 1 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb 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 Juyongguan Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Tour & Ming Tomb?

    +

    Included: Guided Tour Option: entry, lunch, hotel pickup&drop-off, guided tour to Juyongguan plus Mi; Ticket Option: entrance fee for Juyongguan; and Transfer Option: round trip private transfer between hotel and Juyongguan by Business Van/. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
