John was the best!

5.00John was an outstanding guide throughout our Great Wall of China tour. From the beginning, his communication was excellent — he was responsive, clear with instructions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Everything was very well organised, from transport arrangements to timing at each stop, which made the travel efficient and comfortable. What really stood out was John’s knowledge and ability to explain the history and significance of the Great Wall in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. He provided detailed explanations, answered all our questions patiently, and shared many interesting insights that made the experience much more meaningful. John was also friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day, always making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Thanks to his organisation and expertise, the tour felt seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend John to anyone visiting the Great Wall of China.
Great experience

5.00Thank you for the trip John. We started our tour 10 am at dongzhimen bus station. The bus was clean and comportable. During the bus ride John told us alot about the history of the chinese Great Wall. We Got a detailed explanation about the best route, we could take from John. The weather was good, it was sunny but not to warm. My group decided to take the east route first, with the toboggan and later on we also took the cable car route. It was a great and excelent experience. Thank you John for making it possible.😁❤️

5.00Focus on Cici’s language skills If you need proof that a great guide transforms a trip, book Mubus to Mutianyu and ask for Cici. Her command of English is exceptional – not just vocabulary, but natural expressions, humour, and cultural bridging. She told stories of the Great Wall’s construction that were both accurate and animated, keeping everyone engaged. When a foreign guest had questions about ming dynasty bricks, she answered in perfect detail. Mubus provided seamless logistics: comfortable seats, on-time departure, and friendly staff at the meeting point.
Super awesome

5.00The Mutianyu Great Wall tour with Mubus was absolutely flawless. From the moment we boarded the clean, air-conditioned coach, the service was warm and attentive. Our guide, Cici, was a true gem. Her English is superb – clear, fluent, and effortless to understand. She explained the history of the wall with such passion and precision, from its defensive strategies to the restoration work. She went above and beyond, helping everyone with ticket purchases, cable car options, and even recommending the best spots for photos. Her genuine warmth made everyone feel cared for.
