5.00We had a great day tour with our guide Jack and driver Mr. Wu. Hotel pickup was smooth, the ride was comfortable, and Mutianyu Great Wall was amazing. Jack was knowledgeable and friendly, and Mr. Wu drove safely. We also visited the Summer Palace and saw the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube.
Amazing driver!

5.00A smooth and stress-free trip from start to finish. Mr. Huang, our driver, was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The weather was bright and sunny, and the Great Wall was not too crowded, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery and take plenty of great photos. Highly recommended, especially for first-time visitors to Beijing

5.00We had a wonderful day visiting the Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace, and the Olympic sites. Everything went smoothly with no extra costs. Our guide Jimmy was fantastic — very knowledgeable and super helpful. I even left my phone in the cable car at the Great Wall, and he worked so hard to help me get it back. The driver was friendly too.
The private trip was an absolutely best!
