This trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall was really amazing! The whole journey was arranged perfectly, and it was all thanks to our awesome tour guide, John! He really took great care of us. Along the way, he knew the history of the Great Wall like the back of his hand and shared all sorts of interesting stories and knowledge, turning an ordinary sightseeing tour into a really meaningful experience. The buffet at Mubus restaurant at noon was also super great. There were all kinds of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. It was just the thing to replenish our energy before climbing the Great Wall. I strongly recommend everyone choose this tour to visit the Great Wall. The experience is truly top-notch!

Our trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall was really lucky! It rained heavily in the morning, but when we were ready to go to the Great Wall, the rain stopped! The weather was very clear and sunny after rain, and the air was extremely fresh. Also, there were very few people visiting Mutianyu today. With the help of our tour guide John, who helped us book the tickets for the cable cars and the slides on both the eastern and western routes. It was quite smoothly as we visited the magnificent scenery on both sides. There were very few tourists today, and it was truly a stroke of luck. The self-service lunch provided by MuBus was also very delicious, with a great variety of choices. It was a very good decision that we climbed the Great Wall after having lunch. All in all, with the help of our tour guide John, everything was perfect today. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone !
