Beijing Private Transfer to Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tombs

Overview

Mobile ticket

Explore Badaling Great Wall and the Ming Tombs—Beijing’s iconic cultural treasures—with our private transfer service for a hassle-free day trip.

Your journey starts with a timely pickup from your central Beijing hotel; step aboard an exclusive air-conditioned vehicle (equipped with complimentary water and light snacks).

Enjoy our biggest highlight—VIP access to Badaling Great Wall—to skip endless ticket and entrance queues, spending more time exploring the majestic UNESCO World Heritage site.

You’ll have ample free time to wander each site at your own rhythm: marvel at panoramic views from Badaling’s ramparts or delve into the grandeur of Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleums without feeling rushed, and you can choose between two packages when booking—private transfer (8-9 hours of door-to-door service with driver’s ticket assistance) or transfer + private guide (with a knowledgeable local guide to share historical stories, cultural insights and hidden gems for an immersive experience).

What To Expect

Choose your ideal experience with two flexible packages – private transfer-only service or guided tour service – and tailor the trip to your needs! No need to worry about ticket queues either: our driver or tour guide will escort you through VIP access at Badaling Great Wall, saving you precious time to explore two of China’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one seamless day. This hassle-free private service takes you directly from your centrally located Beijing hotel to the Badaling Great Wall and The Ming Tombs, with 8–9 hours of dedicated private transfer in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back, relax, and let our friendly team handle the logistics. Upon arrival at the Badaling Great Wall, your private vehicle will drive straight to the cable car entrance – skipping the long walks and shuttle bus lines to get you to the action faster. (Note that entrance tickets and cable car fares are at your own expense, but the priority access ensures you spend less time waiting and more time wandering the ancient ramparts). If you opt for the guided package, your knowledgeable local guide will accompany you on the wall, sharing fascinating stories of its construction, military history, and legendary role as China’s "Great Dragon". After exploring the Great Wall, we’ll head to The Ming Tombs – the grand mausoleum complex of 13 emperors from the Ming Dynasty. Among all the tombs, we highly recommend a visit to Dingling Tomb: it is the only one with its magnificent underground palace fully excavated and open to the public. Step into the subterranean chambers to marvel at the elaborate stone carvings, royal burial artifacts, and the grand scale of Ming imperial architecture. During the entire tour, you’ll enjoy unhurried free time at each attraction to explore at your own pace. Our driver will be on hand to assist with ticket purchases and ensure a smooth, worry-free journey from start to finish.

Best day at the Great Wall ever! Jack took us around the place, explained everything, and answered our million questions about ancient history, culture and present life about this wonderful place. Driver and Jack were always on time and they make sure that we had a great time. They keep us safe and Jack also knows where to take really good pictures. We definitely recommend this tour and if you get lucky you will have Jack and our king driver who are always happy to assist you! Enjoy Beijing!

The tour is ideal to explore attractions outside Beijing. We meet our driver in the hotel lobby, he was nice, efficient and professional. Starting at 6.30 allowed us to be the first coming to the Great Wall, and we could explore it without any other people. Impressive! I really recommend this tour and the driver Ge Yong.
Amazing service, amazing driver, tour was phenomenal!

We have booked the private transfer in order to visit the great china wall. Our drivers name was Wang Guo Wang and he was amazing!!!! He was so so friendly and so open and explained us everything and he even brought us to the right station so that we know were to go. He offered bananas and water in the car which was amazing. We enjoyed our ride with him and we would book this tour again with Wang Guo Wang.

Really enjoyed walking the Mutianyu side of the Great Wall and the slide at the end was a great surprise! Tian Wei was an excellent driver and went above expectations by helping us to purchase our tickets and taking nice photos of us at the entrances of various places. He even joined us on the lift going up the wall and took some photos of us from the cart in front. Using a translation device, he gave us loads of great information and always checked to see if we were having a fun time. Highly recommend this trip and enjoyed the service.
