The day begins between 8am and 9am when your private tour guide and personal chauffeur collect you from your hotel lobby. Your first stop is the UNESCO-listed Ming Tombs, about an hour from Beijing. Your guide will accompany you along the Spirit Way, the passage that leads to the 13 tombs where Ming dynasty emperors were buried. Lined with vast, monumental sculptures of guardian animals and officials, it's an impressive entrance to the tombs: rather than walk the entire 4.5-mile (7-kilometer) route, your driver will collect you to drive to the Chang Tomb. Built between 1409 and 1413, the Chang Tomb is the mausoleum of the third Ming dynasty emperor, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: his consort, Empress Xu, is buried here too. The largest, oldest and best preserved of the Ming Tombs, its buildings cover an area of 30 acres (12 hectare). You'll have an hour to explore here with your guide.

From here, it's a bit over an hour to the UNESCO-listed Great Wall at Mutianyu. Enjoy an included lunch at a local restaurant near the Wall before you explore. This stretch of the Great Wall is known for its beautiful surroundings – dense woods and rich pastures that change colors with the seasons of the year. It winds its way over 1000 meters to the crest of a mountain, before turning sharply and dipping downhill. You'll have around two hours to explore the Great Wall. It takes around half an hour to hike up on foot, or you can choose to take the cable car or chair lift: it's also possible to toboggan. After you've strolled along the Great Wall and captured iconic pictures, it's about a 2-hour drive back to Beijing. You'll arrive at your hotel between 4 and 5pm.

Clear filterOur 2nd Tour with the Amazing Lucy Jie Jje
Published on Oct, 2023
Lucy was such an amazing tour guide, this was our second day with her and we specifically requested her!! She was SO knowledgeable and friendly and answered ALL the questions my family and I had for and trust and believe, WE HAD A LOT especially my father LOL. She was so polite and knew where to take great photos and really helped us enjoy the Great Wall, especially with the limited amount of time that we had. We're definitely friends for LIFE and would recommend any of my friends and family to go on a tour with her!! 10/10 stars!!!
Amazing Memorable Experience
Published on Oct, 2019
This was the most amazing day. Our tour guide, Sally, is the very best. She is sweet, friendly, communicates very well and is so knowledgable of the tour destinations, Chinese history, and Chinese customs. I highly recommend the tour and Sally to anyone visiting Beijing. The tour is an exceptional value, I will most definitely tour additional areas with Sally on my next visit to Beijing.
Great Tour and Fantastic Experience!

The tour was amazing. Sally was great at communicating with us before and during the trip. The driver was very professional and we felt safe while driving to the Great Wall and back. Our tour guide Sally did a fantastic job at balancing the information she provided and giving us some free time to enjoy on ourselves. Food was tasty and we could try several different dishes. We also bought souvenirs at a cheap price and good quality. Overall, I loved the tour and the price is fair!
Amazing and highly recommended

It is a little pricy but sooooo worth it. Our private driver picked us up from our Airbnb and we got welcomed by our tour guide Sally. We drove to the great wall approx. 1 hour, short and good overview of some details by Sally! Very informative. Sally arranged the Tickets while we had time to stroll around the Souvenir Shops and taking pictures. After that we headed to the gondola to go up to the Great Wall, we had two hours of free time to explore. Other Tours only provided 1 hour. So we were super happy. :) Then we went down with „bob sled“ - this was fun and nice. Sourvenir Shopping and Lunch was amazing. our Driver also had waters for us and shortly after lunch we started our journey to the Ming Tombs and Sacread Road. The Day was full but we had a wonderful time with Sally and the Driver. Highly recommend Sally as a Tour Guide.

Fantastic experience. I was with my family and I'm glad they were comfortable during the trip. The drivers, Mr. Feng and Mr. Rong were always on time. Lily was an amazing guide. Very polite and knowledgeable and made the trip interesting with her insights. The tour was great and we enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended.
