Marco
We arranged a day tour for the Great Wall and Summer Palace with Mark. Our guide was Marco and he was amazing, friendly, informative about anything Beijing. We had a private driver and Marco as our guide. The van was new and made travel easy to wall and Beijing traffic. Mark had also arranged VIP parking, so faster to the wall and less people. Go to wall as early in the morning as you can. Marco is just a genuine good person who will make your day(s) tour fun. No taking you to shops to buy expensive souvenirs either. Marco also arranged Kung Fu show for us, he personally came with driver took us to the show , and some how got us upgraded to VIP section. We were then picked up from the show as well. The theater was not fancy, but the show was great! I also recommend hiring Mark for just private driver day service as well, getting taxis in Beijing not so easy, if time is limited.

Wonderful day at the Chinese Wall
We had a great day at the Chinese Wall and the Summer Palace in nice weather in the beginning of March. The driver Sun Quian picked us up in town and drove for nearly two hours to Mutianyu. It was a quiet day and not too many other tourists. We bought tickets for the bus, the cable wagon and the trip to the wall. This was not included. It was very fascinating to be at the wall. A once in the life time experience. Afterwards the trip to the summer palace was also very nice. It is a beautiful garden well worth seeing. On the way back to the hotel we saw the birds nest from the Olympic Games. It was interesting to talk to the driver who was very friendly, but could have been better in English.

Great day with Bruce
My nine year old son and I did this trip together while visiting Beijing. Bruce was friendly, helpful, and informative - he gave us some great history lessons about the wall and the summer palace. Our driver was safe and also friendly. I’d book with this company again.

Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive take?
+
Plan for about 9 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, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive 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 Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive?
+
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, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace Private Tour All Inclusive 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.
