You will be driven to the Mutianyu Section of Great Wall early to avoid the traffic and lines(queues). This section of Great Wall is the most beatiful secion around Beijing city. You can choose to have the lunch before or after you enjoy the Wall. With our vip pass, we can drive directly to the Great Wall without changing shuttle bus which avoid lots of trouble and wasting of time, and then you can enjoy a 2 hours hiking on the Wall. You can choose to take the ski - lift up and toboggan sliding down to get on and off the Great Wall, it is highly recommended, so that you won't need to climb 30mins steps on the hill before reaching the actual Great Wall.

Be aware of tea ceremony visit

2.00The tour to the Great Wall was great—no complaints there. That said, be cautious if you're suggested a tea ceremony. First off, it's not a traditional one; it's more of a tasting session. Second, they'll push you to buy tea afterward, but it's wildly overpriced—city prices are way cheaper.

5.00Great experience, it is worth getting up earlier and being on the wall first thing in the morning, as there are still relatively moderate visitor numbers. The food was also great and our guide from Addfiction Travel was also great and guided us through the day with very good English.

5.00It was a great day with our wonderful guide, Yanna. She did everything to make it an informative and pleasant day. The first stop was the Great Wall where we had plenty of time to explore. The group went up to the wall on a chair lift and had the choice of coming down via chair lift or toboggan. Being on the wall was the highlight of the day. It wasn't crowded and the weather was stunning. The lunch was delicious, with a large variety of dishes available. The main activity of the afternoon was the visit to the Summer Palace. The grounds were beautiful and Yanna expertly guided us through them. Thanks again to Yanna and the driver for a great day.
Great small group adventure!!!

5.00I came to Luohu in Shenzhen with my best friend, because I saw a lot of delicious food at the East Gate of Luohu on the Internet. I stayed in this hotel. The breakfast in the hotel was very good. We met Joyce. My little sister was very kind and enthusiastic. When we came to the restaurant for dinner, she recommended us a lot of delicious food, especially stinky tofu, which was very delicious. Thank you, Joyce. Thank you Crowne Plaza Shenzhen.

5.00Keith made sure we got to the Great Wall before it was crowded which was so smart because as we were coming down the line was so long vs we didn’t even wait in one on the way up! He also took us to a testimonial tea tasting on our way back down. And on the tour around the summer palace he shared a lot of knowledge and fun stories about the dragon lady and the history surrounding the area! Highly recommend booking this for your Great Wall adventure, and just be ready for a long day filled with things to see!
A very enjoyable day out...
