The Perfect Mutianyu Experience: Davis Is the Man and Linda Is Wonderful!

We booked the Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour with Best English-Speaking Driver, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. Davis was absolutely amazing — truly the man! Super attentive, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. His English is excellent, and he made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. And Linda was also wonderful — incredibly kind, helpful, and an absolute delight throughout the tour. We genuinely had an unforgettable day thanks to both of them. Highly recommended!

Everything was well organized and quick. I booked the tour the day before, and I almost immediately received confirmation of my booking. I paid around 10% upfront and the rest was paid the next day (I paid through WeChat, but I know there are other payment methods). The next day, at the agreed time, the driver was there at our hotel in Beijing (he actually arrived well in advance) and took us to the Great Wall as planned. Linda and the driver helped us book all the tickets, which saved us time by avoiding lines upon arrival (Which in our case were inexistant thanks to Linda's advice to leave earlier from the hotel!) The car was clean, and the driver was very nice. Water was available for us during the trip, and everything was done to make the trip very comfortable. He drove us safely and helped us get directly to the attraction. While we were sightseeing, he waited for us at the agreed spot, and we found him immediately as planned. He took us back to our hotel after the sightseeing. Special thanks to Linda for the tip to leave earlier in the morning to avoid the crowd! You might initially feel unhappy about waking up early, but it really is worth it! I recommend both Linda and the driver we had. If I plan another tour in Beijing, I will definitely look for them first. (Don't forget to tip the driver when you return to your hotel because he will not ask for it.)

Possess a deep understanding of the history, culture, geography, and landmarks of the tour destination. She creates welcoming atmosphere and engages guests with compelling narratives.

This was a great tour. My guide Melody spoke great English and is personable. Mutianyu had very few tourists while we were there, due to its remoteness. I took excellent photos there. The drive there is peaceful and scenic. The car was clean and the driver was professional. The Ming tomb was also in a quiet, serene area with few tourists. I learned a great deal about the early history of the Ming Dynasty. The tour was worth every penny. Highly recommended!
Excellent Tour!

This was a great tour. I was a solo traveler. My guide was Melody. Melody speaks excellent English and is personable. The car was clean and the driver was professional. The tour took about 8 hours. We left at 6:30 am and returned around 2:30 pm. The drive to Mutianyu is peaceful and scenic. It is a more remote part of the wall, with limited hastling from local vendors. I was able to take great photos there because there were so few people. It was very enjoyable. The tobaggan ride down was fun. It was way longer than most American mountain coasters. The tomb was also in a peaceful setting. I learned a great deal about the early history of the Ming Dynasty. The one-on-one interaction with Melody made this tour great. I asked her everything I could think of about China. You don’t get to communicate with guides as much on group tours. This tour is highly recommended!
Great experience!

An awesome experience! We went on a private tour and saw the Great Wall at Mutianyu, after that we saw the Ding Tomb. It was an outstanding experience! Our driver Mr. Wu was most helpful and professional, and he made sure that the tour was for us the most comfortable. We had a great day - thanks to Laura and her driver. Their advice made all the difference. Absolutely would go again on a tour with Laura and her team!
