Mutianyu Great Wall
Your English - speaking guide and private car will pick you up in the lobby of your hotel bright and early. Since pandas are most active in the morning, our first stop will be the Panda House located in the western part of the city. The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family and is among the world's most endangered animals. Listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Species, there are only about 1,600 giant pandas left in the world, and you'll have the wonderful opportunity to observe some of them here. After the panda visit, we'll head to a local restaurant for lunch, which will take around 40 minutes.

Unforgettable Day in Beijing – The Perfect Private Tour!
SadafM23,,Jan 31, 2026

5.00My coworker and I had the most incredible day exploring Beijing, and this tour exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Transportation was comfortable, punctual, and stress-free, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and effortless. Our guide, Tour, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of each site and shared stories and insights that truly brought everything to life. What made the day even more special was how she customized the tour to fit our interests and pace — it felt personal rather than scripted. Walking the Great Wall was unforgettable, seeing the pandas was such a joy, and the Summer Palace was breathtaking. Each stop was thoughtfully planned, and we never felt rushed. If you’re looking for a well-organized, enriching, and memorable way to experience Beijing, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!
This was one of the best tours and our guide Cindy was the best part. Highly recommended. 5 stars

5.00This was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. Allen was our tour guide today and he was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the day. Our trip involved a visit to the panda house followed by a jade stone tour and lunch. Afterwards was a visit/ stroll to the Great Wall and ended the day with a tea ceremony experience. Overall the day was great and went smoothly and appreciate Allen’s efforts and helpfulness. Highly recommended.

5.00Lucy and the driver were absolutely amazing. Went out of their way to help me with the ATM while also showing me a tea ceremony. This is one of the best tours I have been on in a long time. Luxury, hospitality and experiences all in one. Ask for Lucy, the sweetest and most helpful tour guide I have ever had.
Great Wall and Panda House visit

5.00We had a great experience on this tour. Andy was our tour guide and provided very informative and entertaining dialogue. . Andy suggested we go early to the Great Wall to beat the crowds. We lucked out on the weather, while it was cold it kept the crowds away. Then a visit the Panda House which was the highlight for our 10yr old. Andy also suggested we take in an acrobatic performance show, which we were unsure of. However we did enjoy the performance and are glad we took the time to attend. Overall this was a great experience for us. And I feel helped us to maximize out time in Beijing.
Excellent Experience

5.00My tour guide was Sherry and my driver was Xie. Sherry was very knowledgeable about Chinese culture. She shared many anecdotes through our drive and at the various sites (Panda House and Mutianyu Great Wall). Sherry was also helpful in giving hints on where best to shop for souvenirs. They took me to a tea house as well before the Great Wall which was a great experience. Xie was an excellent driver through the day. I really enjoyed the day, seeing the Great Wall, and learning some history and culture along the way.
