Then, take a comfortable GL8 van directly to the Mutianyu Great Wall (1.5 to 2-hour driving distance from central Beijing). This section of the Great Wall is famous for its beautiful scenery and original structure and normally with less crowds.

There is also a cable car, chair lift, or toboggan available, which you can take it you'd like (at your own cost). Lunch is not included in the price of this tour, however your guide can recommend some nice places to eat near the Wall, or you can bring your own snack if you like. The whole tour duration is up to 8 hours. After your tour is finished, you will be transferred back to your original meeting point.

Wonderful day at the Great Wall thanks to Jimmy

5.00Our visit to the Great Wall was perfect thanks to Jimmy who made sure we wasted no time and suggested we go there early. Jimmy’s car is very comfortable and he is driving safely. Jimmy came to pickup on time and once on site he gave us some information about the wall, helped us with tickets and made sure to guide us directly on the wall before leaving us to explore. No waste of time in the process. Thank you also for the drop off on the way back.
Worth it!

5.00Jimmy was a fantastic guide. He suggested ways to avoid crowds and gave us helpful information along the way. We appreciated his advice to “take our time” as it made the trip feel more relaxed and at our own pace. If you’re on the fence about booking this tour with Jimmy, just do it - we promise you won’t regret it!
Easy managed

5.00The trip was easy managed. We had used the time out of traffic jam. Very nice experience! I found it too slow at the beginning but it showed exactly the correct way how to do it.
Great experience

5.00This was a great experience and Jimmy is a great host. He speaks good English and is a genuine nice guy. Considerate driver and makes sure you are up on the wall ok before he leaves you to your own devices. Didn’t feel rushed just met him at the agreed meeting point when all was done. Download WeChat and you can make all comms with him a doddle. The wall was pretty good too! 😀
