What To Expect
We offer two options for this tour—both include a visit to the Great Wall and a cuddly panda encounter at Beijing Panda House (no need to fly to Chengdu). Please choose based on your preference when booking: Option 1: Mutianyu Great Wall – Beloved for its well-preserved architecture, lush scenery, and fewer crowds, it’s ideal for soaking in the grandeur of this ancient wonder. Option 2: Badaling Great Wall – Enjoy exclusive VIP access (special shuttle bus and cable car) to skip all lines, ensuring a smoother, hassle-free experience.
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.

5.00I booked a private tour only 3 days in advance but had one of the best tours. Aurora is an amazing guide, speaks english fluently, and was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was also on time, and the car provided in the private tour was a very modern Toyota. Only down side is the we couldn’t spend more time to see the pandas and the red pandas. Otherwise the tour was perfect! Aurora and the driver was also very accommodating by dropping us off at a location of our own choosing (Sanlitun Taikoo Li department store) and not the hotel. Thank you very much Aurora and Mr Han for the amazing trip!
Best day out at the Great Wall

5.00We are so grateful we booked this tour, we were able to skip lines at the Great Wall. Our guide Andy was very kind and helpful. He taught us a lot about Chinese culture and made the trip very enjoyable. Throughout the entire day, he was extremely resourceful. He was able to make our experience at the wall great. He even went so far as to help us plan our next day of trip. And our driver Mr. Li was great, helping us safely get to all our destinations.
Fantastic tour in Beijing!
