During lunch time, your tour guide will take you to a local restaurant for local authentic food meal. In the afternoon, you will visit one of the seven wonders in the world - Mutianyu Great Wall. Your tour guide will take you to a less crowded section Great Wall where you can hike for around 2 hours. From the city to the Great Wall takes about 1.5 hours driving time.

Lucy was very organised and gave us alot of information. She was very accommodating, we had a great time and would highly recommend this to other people.
Met our charming guide Rita in the hotel at 8.30 for a whirlwind best of Beijing. Rita had lots of tips to reduce queues and hassle so we spent more time doing. She also had lots of historical knowledge. We looked into DIY but realised there was a lot of organising needed on our part as well as pre booking using passports. Rita, and Mr Wong our driver of the luxury car, made every minute count.
Lucy was amazing—her guidance totally elevated our experience to make it truly special. Her knowledge of history and culture was extensive, her patience with our crew was infinite, and she made it all great fun. Totally recommend her!
Excellent tour and a truly wonderful experience! Our guide, Bobo Cao, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, easygoing, and made the entire experience enjoyable. She was also a talented photographer who helped us capture some amazing memories. Highly recommended! If you're taking this tour, you're in great hands with Bobo Cao.
Lucy was really friendly and helpful tour guide. I love it when she explained all the stuffs to us. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
I love that this tour is for multiple attractions. I’m a solo traveler here for only 2 days. it was much easier to do with a guide versus on my own. Lucy was my tour guide and she was amazing. You can tell she’s passionate about sharing her vast knowledge on each place we visited. She kept the group informed, and ensured we were comfortable. It is a long day with lots of walking but well worth it. I highly recommend Lucy and this tour!
Lucy was a great tour guide with extensive knowledge on all subjects, would definitely book this tour again
Absolutely fantastic one day tour to experience Forbidden City, Tianmen square and The Great Wall of China!!! You can see why it is one of the wonders of the world, stunning views! Especially with the autumn colours. Our tour guide Lucy was brilliant & really made the day extra special. You should book it. You won't regret it. You wouldn't get such a great experience doing it yourself without the tour guide & I hope you get lucky like we did getting Lucy! Lots of great knowledge & experience throughout the day. Really good value. Highly recommend!!
A great day to fit in all the sites in 1 trip..we had enough time at each spot to appreciate them and enjoy the experience..Our guide Lucy was great..She speaks excellent English and has a great knowledge of the locations..She went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well looked after and happy. *****

Great tour through the highlights of Beijing and The Great Wall. Our guide, Maggie, was phenomenal. Very friendly, and personable. We had a great time.
My 11-year-old son and I had a wonderful time exploring Beijing! Maggie was an exceptional tour guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and informative about every site we visited. She was kind, patient, efficient, and incredibly accommodating to everyone in our group. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. She kept everyone well informed about every aspect of the tour, from what to expect at each stop to where we needed to be and what was coming next. Everything was well organized, and she made the entire experience feel seamless and enjoyable. She was also wonderful with my son, which I especially appreciated. We had an amazing time, and Maggie truly helped make our visit to Beijing memorable. Five stars all the way! I would recommend her ten times over!
Great tour. Our tour guide Maggie was fantastic. She was super organised and knowledgeable which meant the day was so good. We saw everything and had a brilliant day. Would highly recommend!
From pick up on a perfectly arranged trip. Linda is an excellent and very knowledgable tourguide. She managed all the tickets and safety checks perfectly. We got a lot of information about Tiananmen Square from her as well as lots of insights to the Forbidden City. After a 1.5 hour road trip and a delightful lunch we arrived at The Great Wall near Muntijanyu. What a beautiful place! She explained how to find the best spots and took good care all the time. Thank you very much, Linda, for making this day so memorable.
I had a wonderful day exploring Beijing with Lucy! She was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China. She shared lots of interesting information and historical insights that made the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated that she contacted me the night before with pertinent information and it also served as a reminder. The included lunch was also a pleasant surprise! It was a buffet with a good variety of options, which I particularly appreciated as a picky eater. Overall, it was a great experience, and Lucy was a fantastic guide. I would definitely recommend this tour!
We did this tour with Lucy and got whole lot of unforgettable memories from the Forbidden City and the Great Wall! Everything was perfectly timed and wonderfully explained. Do the tour and ask for Lucy if you can!!!!
Had a great experience with Lucy as our guide. I would recommend this tour it made getting into the Forbidden City and out to the wall very easy.
Luci was amazing, give us all instructions and knowledge about our trip, definetely recomend her! 10!
Dear Bobo Thank you for the beautiful tour. In this whole day you managed to help us see so many of Beijing’s landmarks but our biggest highlight was the Great Wall of China. Thank you for helping us understand the history of the wall and for making the whole trip such a beautiful experience
This tour was a pleasant surprise! As a solo traveler, I never know what to expect with tours but I’m so glad I booked it. Our guide, Lucy, was very well organized and communicated our schedule clearly. It’s a busy day but it did not feel rushed. I really appreciated having a knowledgeable guide at the Forbidden City for those tidbits of information I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. I also had enough time at the Great Wall to make it to the 23rd watchtower! The lunch was also delicious with a variety of options for different diets. My one suggestion would be to have breakfast/coffee before the tour because there is no break for food until lunch. Overall, this was a lovely experience and I highly recommend it!
Thanks Lucy!❤️ We had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square! Our tour guide Lucy was absolutely fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to answer all our questions. Everything was perfectly organized, and Lucy explained the history, culture, and fascinating stories behind every place we visited. She made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire day. The Great Wall was breathtaking, and visiting the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square made the experience even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! We highly recommend Lucy to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you, Lucy, for an unforgettable experience! 😊
Lucy was an absolutely incredible tour guide and truly made this experience unforgettable! She was professional, personable, fun, and exceptionally informative. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group felt comfortable, welcomed, and taken care of. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth made the entire tour that much more enjoyable. The tour itself was absolutely worth every penny, and we were able to experience and accomplish so much in one day. The Great Wall was breathtaking and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I cannot recommend Lucy enough! If you have the opportunity to have her as your guide, you will be in excellent hands!
So fun!!!!!! Maggie was great - on time! We were with a group of 10 ppl. English was great. Lunch and day was perfect.
Excellent experience visiting Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Be sure to book with Lucy! She is a gem and offers the best tour. She is wonderfully knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. I would take any tour Lucy offers.
The trip was so worth the price we paid. Lucy was an excellent tour guide and spoke English very well and clearly. We appreciated the way she led the group and that she was very directive without being pushy. She made sure the group stayed on time and on task, but also made sure we each had a good time. She somehow took the time to check-in with each member on our tour and still led with efficiency. Lucy seemed to have many relationships with a lot of the vendors on the trip, so getting through security was very simple for us. I would absolutely do the tour again in the future. We booked the one-day trip and would consider the two-day in the future so we have more time at each destination.
Today we did a tour with Jeffry in the Tiananmen Square, forbidden city and the great wall of china, very nice and friendly, we also had Chinese food for lunch, totally recommended.
Maggie is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and speaks good English. It was a fun trip from Forbidden city to the Great Wall of China.
