5.00John was great! He’s warm, attentive, always ready to help, and he explained the Great Wall’s stories clearly while sharing great tips for the best views and photo spots. He answered all our random questions with a smile the whole ride there. Mutianyu is fantastic, way quieter than the crowded sections, with amazing mountain views and well-preserved walls to explore. We had loads of unhurried free time to wander and take in the scenery—no tight schedules at all. The tour was super well-organized, bus ride was smooth and every arrangement was seamless. The Mubus waiting room was such a nice bonus too: free luggage storage, free tea and snacks, plus affordable coffee to start the day right. It’s great value for money, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Great Wall!
Good experience at mutianyu

5.00Great experience. From the beginning to the end, the mubus team made everything easier for us. The meeting point was easy to find, and the bus drive started on time. Special shout out to our guide, Mr Mike, who was really fun and shared a bit of history with us in the morning. Then we got super clear indications about all the routes we could take, it was really good input. I chose to do the east and the west part, full walk from tower 6 to 1 and from tower 14 to 20. I definitely recommend you to do the slide if there is not too much line, it was so fun. It was low season and this section of the Great Wall was not empty but not crowded either. I come back with only good memories. Thanks again to our guide Mike who made that possible
Excellent walk

5.00We had a wonderful time visiting the Great Wall with our one year old daughter. Our tour guide Mike was very helpful, informative and entertaining and the overall experience with Mubus was well organised and went smoothly. The buffet lunch was also tasty and had a good variety of options. Weather in February was a little on the colder side but otherwise perfect and crowds were small. Definitely recommend taking the chairlift / cable car up both sides to save energy and maximise time spent at the wall itself.
Incredible experience

5.00I am traveling solo in China for the first time. One of the things that I really wanted to do is go to the Wall of China. I was a little nervous because I don’t speak any chinese but I decided to go on Mubus Mutianyu Great Wall bus tour. Our tour guide was Mr Mike. His English was perfect and he has a lot of knowledge about the history of the wall of China. He was always very efficient and ready to answer any questions that we could have had. I would definitely recommend to all my friends to book this tour. It surpassed my expectations. And that is without counting the wall itself. I have like a 1000 photos to go through. Highly recommended.
Super! Amazing place amazing guide
