    ​An unforgettable, top-tier day!

    ​What a fantastic trip! The Great Wall of China is, in a word, impressive, and visiting the Ming Tombs was also very interesting. Our guide Andy was absolutely amazing and shared an incredible amount of interesting facts, truly bringing the history to life. ​The organization was perfect, including a delicious, authentic lunch that tasted delicious. ​Taking the cable car up first, and after walking, zooming down on the toboggan slides is definately worth it. ​Pro-tip for others: Head out nice and early! You'll beat the biggest crowds, and the queue for the slides won't be as long. Highly recommended tour, thanks to Andy!

    Terry was a wonderful guide!

    We had a great day in Beijing exploring the Great Wall and Ming Dynasty Tomb. Terry was very knowledgeable, shared the history of China and answered all of our questions. We followed his recommendations and arrived early to avoid the long lines. Thanks Terry!

    Great experience

    Our tour guide Lucia and driver Lu took really good care of us on our tour. We ended up being the only two people for the tour and it was a really great experience! Would highly recommend.

    Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $176 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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch 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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch?

    +

    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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch 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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch?

    +

    Around 11 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 Small Group Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour with Cable Car and Lunch 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.
