What an amazing...
What an amazing experience! We were picked up promptly by our guide (the wonderful Angie) and our driver promptly from our hotel and taken directly to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, including bypassing the shuttle bus for the final stage of the journey. We practically had the wall to ourselves and Angie was excellent at providing key facts and historical information as well as encouraging us to reach the summit of tower 20. The lunch afterwards was amazing at a restaurant with views of the wall. Highly recommend this experience to everyone and thanks again to our guide Angie who helped us throughout and even helped arrange tickets to the Tiananmen Square flag raising ceremony the next day.

The Great Wall of China family adventure with Dana!!
My wife, daughter and I had an amazing time on our full service tour of The Great Wall of China 🇨🇳. Dana is an amazing Tour Guide. She was punctual, patient, full of historical facts, stayed with us throughout the entire journey. Best tour guide we've ever had. Our trip started at 12:30 with a personal van at our hotel. Less than 2 hours drive to the entrance to the Great Wall. We hiked all the way up to Tower 20. After the 3 hour Great Wall experience, it was dinner time. The restaurant we were taken to we would never have found on our own. Upper outdoor patio on the mountain side with an amazing view of the Great Wall and surrounding mountains. JUST IN TIME FOR AN AMAZING SUNSET!! Very nice of Dana to be part of our dinner experience and help choose the best local dishes. We were door to door service in a relaxed ride back to our hotel by 8:45 pm. 5 STARS!! Thank you Dana!!

Exceptional guide and memorable day
A wonderful trip and the best guide. Laura was absolutely amazing and made our day so memorable. A great VIP way to experience the Great Wall and avoid large crowds with the added thrills of the cable car and toboggan ride down! Laura our guide was simply the best person we could have ever hope to have with us. Thank you Laura!

Early fun hike with stunning views of the wall, with less people
Beautiful day exploring wall in the daytime with not so many people! Dana our guide suggested we leave very early, arriving as soon as it opens and it was a good idea. We had no lines for cable car and had pictures with few people/ no people in the background. Dana was also very nice and kind guide and had lots of knowledge. The lunch after was also very good, seeing a view of the wall you just finished hiking. Highly recommend !
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the detailed review on our service. We will continue to offer top-notch service to future travelers.

Mutianyu great wall
We did this tour on July 23, 2024 with Serena during our stay in Beijing. We were two couples of friends with children and it was a very beautiful, unforgettable experience. Serena was kind and wonderful. She speaks good English and she was an excellent guide. Additionally, she is knowledgeable in Chinese history and culture. She answered all our questions. Serena and the driver welcome us at the lobby of our hotel at 7am. The car is air conditioned and water is provided. We were comfortable during transport. We went up the great wall by cable car and we had the pleasure of going down by toboggan, it was a pleasant experience. After our tour of the great wall, we went to a nearby restaurant with a beautiful view of the wall to rest and enjoy the superb local cuisine. Serena was so kind and helpful in helping us book one of the best restaurant serving "Pekin Duck" in Beijing and allows us to stop on the side of the road to try and buy at a fruit stand. We visited Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing this summer but to our great surprise it is in Beijing that we have the best memories of several cultural historical sites. Thanks to Serena, our visit to the Great Wall of China was exceptional and unforgettable. We will have no hesitation in doing other tours with Serena and her tour operator. Giang

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mutianyu Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Mutianyu Great Wall Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour 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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour?
+
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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour 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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour?
+
Around 7 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 Ticket, Transfer, Guided Vip Pass Tour 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 Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. 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.
