I took the 12 noon tour. We left a few minutes after 12 to wait for the other members of the group. The instructions on how to take the subway to the meeting point (Please take “Subway line 2” and get off at station “Dong Si Shi Tiao”（东四 十条). Following the signs for exit C, you will find yourself outside the Beijing Swissotel Hotel where the bus parking spot is just 50 meters to the east) were quite clear except the phrase "the bus parking spot is just 50 meters to the east." It would have been clearer to say "turn right and walk towards Chaoyangmen N St. The bus should be 50 meters to your right." The guide Mr Qiang spoke clearly and loudly in understandable English. He explained in details what to expect and provided those who did not book entrance and cable car tickets the opportunity to buy them through him. The bus was clean and nice. We had more than enough time to hike from Tower 14 to 20. I love the mountains behind the wall! The cable car line down was pretty long.

This tour covered most of the main places to visit in Beijing in one day. Tour guide Jackson was very informative and helpful. There are two stops at a medical centre and perl shop which were made mentioned previously and in reviews. Even though I was expecting them it was not for me and I had no interest in either. I understand its possibly a way to make money, but I would rather pay extra on my ticket to not have these stops and use this time at the sites we were visiting. Other than that the tour was very good and I enjoy it along with the other members of our tour group.

The Mutianyu part of the wall is really a good part to visit especially in the afternoon! There are not many people there and our tour guide Tony was really helpful and gave us tips what to see at the wall. He also made sure that we knew our options of going up or down and we could buy the tickets directly via him. And on this tour you don't visit some shops which force you to buy stuff. I would give this tour even more than 5 stars if possible :)

My husband and I were on a day trip to Mutianyu and we really had a great time there thanks to the perfect organization of the GetYourGuide tour and especially, thanks to our guide Steven. He was very helpful, kind and funny, and he told us a lot of interesting information about the Great Wall. We learnt a lot and we enjoyed every minute there. I would recommend this tour to anyone without any doubt.

This small group tour skips the shopping stops and takes you straight to the best bits of the wall including the option to explore unrestored parts of the Great Wall. Emma was an incredible guide bringing a sense of enthusiasm and insight making it a memorable and enjoyable day. 5 stars and great value.
