A nice surprise
I was very pleased with the places I visited, Michael was a great guide as well as the driver who accompanied us for three days to visit the Beauties of Beijing. The wall moved me. Beijing a city that surprises.

10-hour stopover at Beijing airport, between history, art and good food
We had 10 hours of stopover at Beijing airport. We were able to see everything and have a great lunch. Guide was nice and very prepared

Highly Recommend
Terry was phenomenal, he guided us through the forbidden city, Mutianyu Great Wall and even went to the Olympic Stadium. His English is great and a pleasant tour guide that knows how to showcase his city well. There were two of us on the tour and Terry had a driver that would drop us all off and pick us up so that he could spend more time on our tour. Be ready to walk fast as he wants to cover a lot and can really help you make the most out of your time.
Response from the operator: Dear Will Thanks a million for your quick and great review, and thank you so much for choosing our travel service, take care! Yours truly The owner Terence W

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall?
+
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 Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Beijing Day Trip Including Forbidden City And Mutianyu Great Wall 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.
