What to expect

Enjoy a hassle-free small-group experience to one of the Great Wonders. No visit to Beijing is complete without walking along the legendary Great Wall of China, so head out early morning to beat the crowds, escape the busy city streets and trek along to the watchtowers while learning about some of the Wall’s myths and legends from your local guide!

First, you'll reach Mutianyu, a mostly restored, spectacular section of the Wall. It's a small hike but it's worth it. You'll be rewarded with amazing views of the wall as it stretches through the surrounding countryside. There are a lot of steep steps to climb, so we invite you to tackle the Great Wall at your own pace as you soak up the magnitude of this feat of engineering. You can choose to take the cable car up (at your own expense) if you wish to avoid the climb. It's up to you how you want to get down. You can head back the way you came, or, if you fancy a different perspective, take the cable car or toboggan back down.

Unlike other Great Wall tours in Beijing, we focus on giving you an awesome, authentic experience. That means you won't visit any shops or factories along the way – it’s all Great Wall all the time, except for a delicious local lunch that awaits you before heading back to the city.

To take your experience to the next level you can choose to have a private guide, just for you and your group! Simply select the option you prefer at checkout.

Chinese law requires that all travelers must provide their name, gender, nationality, passport number and birthdate to their tour operator upon booking a tour. Failure to do so could result in a traveler not being able to join their tour, or for the entire group to be denied access to sites. When you book this tour, please be sure to fill out all fields at checkout. Please also enter your passport number and bring your passport with you on the tour
For the safety of you and other guests, we strongly recommend you bring a mask with you to the tour. Your guide will inform you of the latest government recommendations, and whether a mask is required
Our guides may ask to collect your contact information at the start of the tour, for contact tracing purposes only
Please refrain from joining the tour if you are experiencing any symptoms associated with Covid-19
The private tour requires a minimum group size of two travelers. A solo traveler may still book this private experience but will be charged the base rate for two travelers. The maximum number of participants is 12
Please note that as many areas of the Great Wall are quite steep you will need to wear comfortable shoes with good grip and support
Children under 6 years of age are not allowed on this tour
