About this activity

You will be picked up from your hotel lobby at 7:30am and your guide will lead you to your private minivan and start the tour.

Drive about 1.5 hours to the Mutianyu Great Wall. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is a masterpiece of restoration, with 23 original-style watchtowers. Upon your arrival, you will have some time to discover this amazing creature by yourself! You will get on the Great Wall either by chair lift up and toboggan down from at tower 6 or cable car round trip at tower 14(if you choose the option).

After arriving at the Ming Tombs, you will have lunch here first. The sample dishes:

Gongbao Chicken

Local mushroom and pork

Onion pancakes

Muxu pork

Sweet and Sour pork/chicken

Egg or soy sauce fried rice

Spicy beans

The Ming Tombs are a collection of mausoleums built by the emperors of the Ming dynasty of China. The first Ming emperor's tomb is located near his capital Nanjing. However, the majority of the Ming tombs are located in a cluster near Beijing and collectively known as the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

After the visit of Ming Tombs, your full-day tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Beijing.

This was a fantastic tour. If you are heading to Beijing don't hesitate in booking it in. You are picked up from the hotel, free water in the car, our driver was fantastic and got us around without issue. The wall is truly amazing, our guide, Albert, took us along a part of the wall talking about its history, then he took lots of amazing photos of us on the wall before giving us some time to explore on our own. After the great wall they took us for lunch and it is honestly one of the best meals I've ever had, Albert ordered for us, four delicious Chinese dishes, along with rice and tea. Then onto the Ming tombs where Albert talked us through the history of he Ming tombs and some Chinese customs when visiting tombs. Just a quick word about our guide Albert he was fantastic, no tour with him will be dull, great grasp of english and he goes out of his way to be accommodating. He was knowledgeable about the places we went and a joy to talk to. If you manage to get him as a tour guide you are in great hands.

My boys and I loved our day with Coco and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was great having a guide who knew how to skip some of the busy parts to get us to quiet places where we could really enjoy our experience. We knew we'd love the wall but the Mind Tombs were just as fascinating and Coco's knowledge was just amazing. Coco shared her knowledge with us and drew us in on the history and fascination of the place. We would highly recommend this tour.

This was an excellent tour. Roy is an exceptional guide - he is very knowledable about and proud of Chinese history and communicates fluently in English in a way that is both highly informative and really interesting. We also had a really fine driver to take us to the sites. The tour includes a tobaggan ride down from the Great Wall. I'm 59 years old, and despite some initial reluctance with the tobaggan concept , I found the ride to be really fun and not at all scary. The lunch stop was excellent - it was great Chinese food.

This was a wonderful adventure. Got to see the countryside as well as walk on the great wall. Took the chairlift up and toboggan down which was exciting and fun. Had a lovely lunch at a local farmers restaurant on the way to the Ming Tours. Our guide and driver were both excellent.
