One day, two Great Walls: Yanqing’s Ancient Badaling and restored Badaling, with tickets and an English guide from Beijing.

Private full-day Mutianyu Great Wall tour with hotel pickup, English-speaking driver, and self-paced wall time, plus optional cable car and toboggan.
“Tour guide Harry was informative and so kind! It was rainy and limited visibility so we spent less time than we had planned. Harry dropped some of us off at the Forbidden City and gave us great instructions on the layout. He took the rest of the family back to the hotel. Great experience!”
Full-day Badaling Great Wall from Beijing with an English guide, entrance fees, and Olympic Park sights. Cable car costs extra.
“This is the worst trip I have ever been on. The tour operator told us to be at the pick point at 7am and then turned up at 8pm. The coach was old and the seats were worn and lacked any support. The windows of the coach were filthy and we could not see out…”
