The Great Wall at Badaling
The Great Wall of China-the greatest symbol of Chinese engineering and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Badaling Great Wall is one of the most important part of the Great Wall which was attached with great military importance. An old Chinese saying tells the crucial position of Badaling: if one man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot get through. Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pick-up by either your guide or driver, heading straight to Badaling Great Wall—Beijing’s most iconic and well-preserved section, renowned for its grand ramparts, panoramic mountain views, and status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you opt for the driver-only package, your driver will handle all ticket arrangements and wait for you at the parking lot while you explore at your own pace; those with a guide will be led along the wall, learning fascinating stories of its 2,000-year history as a defensive masterpiece, with plenty of free time allocated for photos and personal exploration.

Juyongguan Great Wall
After exploring Badaling, we’ll stop at a local restaurant to savor authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch, refueling for the next part of your adventure. Next, we’ll head to Juyongguan Great Wall, a section distinct from Badaling with its steep, winding paths nestled in lush mountain scenery, offering a more intimate and scenic hiking experience. As a strategic pass in ancient times, Juyongguan boasts unique architectural features that reflect its military significance. Upon arrival, your driver will again assist with ticket arrangements and wait at the parking lot for those without a guide, while guides will continue to accompany you, illuminating the history and legends of this lesser-crowded gem.

Awe-inspiring Great Wall at Padaling and Juyoungguan!
Our tour guide Miko made my first trip to China made great! He is kind, punctual, knowledgeable, experienced, and cooperative and well speaking English. The Padaling and Juyoungguan in the Great wall were breathtaking and awe-inspiring. We'd love to try to be back next year and will get his tour guide again. Thank you, Viator and Miko!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $138 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 Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer 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 Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer?
+
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 Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer 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 Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer 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 Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer?
+

Does Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Private Great Wall Tour: Juyongguan&Badaling w/Guide or Transfer 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.
