Amazing Great Wall experience
Rita was an excellent, knowledgeable and efficient guide, always laughing and chatting to us. She explained the 3 cable car/ toboggan / walking options clearly and made sure we all got lunch, restroom stops and water as needed. Mutianyu wall is good as you can do a leisurely or a strenuous walk, whichever you wish. Thoroughly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your detailed and lovely review! We are happy to hear Rita was such an excellent, knowledgeable and efficient guide. It’s wonderful that she kept the mood light with laughter and friendly chats with your group. We really appreciate that she clearly explained the three Mutianyu options: cable car, toboggan and walking, and thoughtfully arranged lunch, restroom breaks and water for everyone. You are absolutely right that Mutianyu Great Wall suits different travel styles, where visitors can take a relaxed stroll or go for a more challenging hike. Thank you for your whole‑hearted recommendation of our tour. We will share all your warm compliments with Rita. Thank you for travelling with us. Wish you pleasant travels ahead, and hope to welcome you back to Beijing. Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

Amazing location, medium quality service.
Location was perfect. However the tour guide spoke English very badly and was always pushing us to hurry up. Since we hired the private tour, we had diferente expectations. Must enhance its service level.
Response from the operator: Dear Reviewer, I can confirm the you are not our customer at all. This listing only offers group tours with no private tour option available. Besides, There is no booking under your name or account. Therefore, you never purchased any service from us. Kindly remove the irrelevant review, thanks. Lily's tour Team

An unforgettable time at the Great Wall!
My family and I (2 adults, 2 kids) took a private tour with Lisa as our guide and we had an amazing time! Everything was so easy because she took care of everything for us, and she provided a wealth of information on Chinese history, including not just the Great Wall but also about past dynasties and places like the Forbidden City. I highly recommend this tour and Lisa as your guide!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely family review! 💛 We’re thrilled that you and your two children had an amazing private tour with Lisa. It’s wonderful to hear she took care of every detail for you, making your day effortless and stress-free. Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable, sharing rich stories about Chinese dynasties, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City in a fun, easy way perfect for both adults and kids. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation, and we will happily pass your kind words to Lisa. Hope to welcome your family back again soon! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included)?
+
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 Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included)?
+
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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) 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 Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included)?
+
Included: Local guide; Entrance fees; Toll fee; Transportation; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch; Cable car and toboggan fee on Great Wall; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1617 listed pickup locations in and around Beijing.
What languages is Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Mutianyu Great Wall Small Group Tour (Tickets Included) if the weather is bad?
