Visita a la Muralla China en escala de 24h en Pekín
Everything was great! Our driver was at time for picking us at the airport with a paper with our names and let us keep our luggage in his car. He accompanied us to the entrance and waited for us in the car the time we needed to make the visit to drop us off at our hotel. Very good driving, 100% recommended.

The scariest experience of our lives.
I would give zero for sure. Our guide was a scammer. This was supposed to be No-shopping Private CAR TOUR. He was driving us to places we did not ask, he tried really hard to take us to his preferred shopping places and we kept telling him we want to go to the great wall only. He kept telling me how beautiful I am and this felt very uncomfortable. For two women this was very scary, we did not feel safe at all. After tour he sent me money transfer and asked me to click it and send it back. I did not receive anything and considered this another attempt for scam, did not react and blocked him. He called police on me and they came to my hotel room. The scariest moment in my life and I will never go back to China again. To all trvellers, please stay away from this company. When we told him, we booked through ChinaTour.NET, he did not know this company. The car was filthy disgusting and he did not speak one word English. This is all very shady and not safe for women tourists at all ! Please take a bus tour with good company
Response from the operator: We read this review carefully although we could not find this reviewer in our customer list. You wrote about a car service without English guide, right? In review you mentioned "he did not speak one English word", then how did the he communicate with you in the trip? by wechat translation app? he attempted in wechat asking you to shop? our drivers were trained not allowed to any shop, If our customer found this attempt, our customer would had called us immediately by whatsapp or wechat or telephone.(whatsapp is working in China with foreign mobile phone). All our customers connected with us by wechat or whatsapp before the tour date, if any problem in the tour they will text or call us immediately to solve the problem promptly. If you communicated with driver only via translation app, then misunderstanding may occur, Chinese common say hello to women "美女" translated into English is "Beautiful lady", if customer is not sure what driver text meaning is, customer could forward the driver's text to us by wechat, we can provide better translation. You said the driver sent you money transfer in wechat, and asked you to return the money, which means he wrongly transfered money to you? and you refused to return his money and blocked him in wechat, so he called police in? Scam is crime in China, if he attempted a scam he should be afraid of police, but he called police in which is confusing. you might not trust the driver, but China police is trustful, can you tell the result? driver got his wechat money back and police left? we learned a lot from your story: how important communication is for foreigners travel in China, we will remind all drivers 1.no shop attempt, 2. call us for language help if any problem in the tour, and also remind all customers to call us for help if any problem in the trip, misunderstandings and issued should be solved at beginning, most Chinese are friendly and nice people, don't let misunderstandings cause uncomfortable feelings.

Perfect service on an unforgettable day!
I had the pleasure to have Edward as guide on my side, lifting and introducing me to the Great Wall in Mutianyu during a 9h layover at the Capital airport . Edward shared a lot of historic background around the Great Wall, which was great to learn before going up and witnessing this impressive one of the seven world wonders with my own eyes and feet. I have been there on December 15th in winter time, the landscape was partially covered in snow and the advantage was, that early morning it was almost empty, no queuing, great for photography. A day I will surely never forget, also because of the effortless experience made possible by Edward.

Mutianyu Great Wall No-shopping Private Car Tour
This was a private tour to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall in December 2019. The driver picked me up from my hotel at 9:30an and drove the 76km to this part of the Great Wall. I was traveling alone primarily for work so I had limited time and this suited me really well. The driver got me the tickets for entrance, the shuttle bus and the cable car, then walked with me to show me where to go and where to meet him after 3 hours. Although the driver spoke little English & I spoke no Chinese we got the basics communicated ok and everything went smoothly. The Great Wall was fantastic, I had very good weather and afterwards I met the driver and he took me back to my hotel for around 4pm. Altogether a fantastic trip and for me well worth the extra cost compared to a bus tour or “shopping” tour where a trip to a factory or shop can lead to some high pressure sales. I would thoroughly recommend ChinaTour.Net - the communication was good and the trip was flawless.

Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 15 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip?
+
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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip?
+
Around 5 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Private Round Trip 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.
