Great experience with Ms Bobo, she did great with the explanations and is super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Wang shifu also gave us a comfortable ride.

Very wonderful experience! Very friendly and timely pickup and awesome experience! Easy ride to the Great Wall in a comfortable vehicle. We were not rushed. We had time to browse the shops. It was very cold but he gave us 2 options to view area and let us decide. We had free time after introductions to the section of the site and plenty of time to explore alone. Drop off was friendly and convenient. Jerry took us directly to a restaurant to have famous roast duck meal! He didn’t just point in the direction! Wow! Very impressive! Shout out to our driver for a safe and comfortable journey, too! Do this tour!

We had a wonderful driver who was waiting for us in the lobby before the stipulated time (7am) as he had parked a little far since we were in a Hutong and he felt that the street was a bit too crowded and narrow for his car to safely come down but we were happy to have the short morning walk to the car, which had free water waiting for us. It was also a very premium comfy car. The drive took 1.5hrs so early and he sorted out our tickets and confirmed where he would wait for us and we connected on WeChat to keep in contact. We chose to only stay for 2/3hrs since it was a cold day and we didn't want to hike too much. There was more free water on the way back and a smooth drive. I would say the only hiccup was even though I booked in weeks in advance and connected with the tour office on WhatsApp - giving passport details etc - the office did not contact me again, so I had to contact them the day before and waited several hours till I got a reply since maybe they do not check the WhatsApp often. Plus when they got back to me I had to go through the process of informing them the booking number and which booking I made. It just felt a little less organised compared to other tours in china.

We visited the Mutianyu Great Wall with a private tour and our English-speaking guide, Jerry. He spoke very good English and shared many interesting historical stories and cultural insights along the way. The explanations were clear, informative, and never boring — we learned a lot while having fun at the same time. The whole trip was smooth and well-organized, making the experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend Jerry as a tour guide for anyone visiting the Great Wall. He truly made the visit memorable.

This Great Wall Tour was fantastic! We were picked up in a very safe, clean, comfortable vehicle and driven to our destination. Jeffrey was an excellent tour guide and very informative on all the areas of the Great Wall. He guided us to all the watchtowers we wanted to see. Absolutely spectacular day. Our tour was five hours by choice. We could have hiked a lot longer, but we’re quite happy with what we saw and did.

Tour was very well organised. We had a message come through shortly after booking with instructions and contact details. Our Driver Nicholas Wang arrived right on time to our hotel and messaged on arrival. Nicholas was a great guide for the day, was very friendly and accommodating and made the trip very seamless! Would definitely recommend Nicholas as a guide and Lily’s Tour if you are planning a trip to the Great Wall when in Beijing.

Lucy was an excellent tour guide. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and easy to spend the day with. I learned so much about China and the history of the Great Wall, and she explained everything in a clear, engaging way. She was thoughtful, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had time to enjoy the experience. I would absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone visiting the Great Wall.
