Review of Beijing Mubus Mutianyu Great Wall tours, with transport, guide, lunch, hiking, cable car options, timing, and practical tips.

“Jily was an absolutely fantastic guide for our trip to Mutianyu Great Wall with Mubus today! Her communication before and during the trip was clear and prompt, making everything easy and stress-free. On the coach, she shared fascinating stories about the wall's history and the Spring Festival traditions, which made the journey fly by. She was incredibly attentive to everyone's needs and gave us the perfect amount of time to explore the wall independently. Thanks to her cheerful personality and professional organization, we had a memorable and smooth experience celebrating Chinese New Year at the Great Wall. Highly recommend Jily”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,361 reviews · from $20

Review of the $20 MuBus trip to Mutianyu Great Wall, with direct Beijing transport, free time, guide options, lunch, and practical tips.

“This is a bare bones tour that gets you to the Wall and back, and sorts out the admin of getting tickets. That said, it served my needs. Our guide on the bus, Jili, provided some handy info on the history of the Great Wall, as well as what to expext once we got there. Once you're at the Wall, you're pretty much on your own, with well over 5 hours to explore Mutianyu.”

Review of Beijing’s small-group Forbidden City tour, with ticket access, expert guides, Tiananmen or Jingshan options, costs, and practical tips.

“This tour is very hard to rate. Miko was terrific. He is upbeat. He speaks English very well and knows everything about Tian An Men and the Forbidden City. Unfortuantely, on the day we took the tour it ended up being FIVE hours. Most of this was spent standing around in the cold waiting for security checks. That is not the best was to spend a vacation.”

Review of a private Mutianyu Great Wall trip from Beijing, with flexible pickup, private transport, ticket help, and three hours to explore.

“We had an absolutely outstanding experience with our driver Peter, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, took us to the Great Wall of China, and later brought us back to the airport, everything was perfectly organized. Peter was incredibly attentive and kind, always checking that we were comfortable. He adjusted the temperature in the car, had coats available if needed, and provided a bottle of water for each of us. During our visit to the Great Wall, he stayed with us the entire time, helped us purchase the tickets, explained how to visit the area, and recommended the best…”
