Very informative visit to the Ming Tombs. Mutianyu was a good location to visit the Great Wall. Fun ride in the chair lift and not too crowded on the wall on a Sunday. Nice local lunch. Forced to go shopping, but got away without having to spend much. A very good day out.

My tour to the Great Wall at Mutianyu and Ming tumbs gave me more than what I was expecting. My guide William was well documented, spoke very good English and planned the tour very well. I really enjoyed it!

Disappointed. Was really looking forward to this tour. Felt very rushed by our tour guide. She was pleasant but was more interested in getting us to the jade factory. High pressure sales tactic at the factory. Lunch at the factory was marginal. Didn't see any tombs at the Ming tombs. Wall was ok but weather was foggy so could see entire landscape. This was not the tours fault. Didn't really get much in terms of history. Wish another or different local tour company ran the tour. Had another tour the next day with a different local company via viator and it was great.
The tour guide was good but the trip started out a little suspect as we had to walk a block or two to the tour van as opposed to being picked up at the hotel. Throughout the trip the driver's driving was more erratic than necessary and I actually felt like he had a death wish.

The Great Wall location was good but we felt a little rushed. We walked as opposed to taking the gondola although it seemed as though they really wanted to push you towards taking the gondola. Lunch wasn't as good and I really didn't like shopping at the Jade Factory before eating lunch as by the time we were finished we only took 15 mins the food was cold. Oh yeah, this tour include the Pearl and Silk factory.
This is a good tour because you have a private tour guide all to yourself. It is a hit or miss as to whether you get a seasoned tour guide who knows their history, or whether you get a young guide, like mine, that only touched on the basics. They give you about an hour to enjoy walking on the ...
This is a good tour because you have a private tour guide all to yourself. It is a hit or miss as to whether you get a seasoned tour guide who knows their history, or whether you get a young guide, like mine, that only touched on the basics. They give you about an hour to enjoy walking on the Great Wall, and you have your choice of taking the ski lift up and back, or you can take the ski lift up and take a toboggan ride down. I recommend the toboggan! It is great fun!
Also, the traditional Chinese lunch provided at the restaurant was to die for.
