Private Day of Tour Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace in Beijing
Overview
Tour starts at 8:30 am, the tour guide will meet you at your centrally located Beijing downtown hotel lobby and where you will proceed to enjoy a comfortable transfer to your first stop.
It takes around 1.5 hours driving to the Mutianyu Great Wall - one of the best-preserved and best-known sections. On the way, you are able to stop and take photos of the "Bird's Nest"– National Stadium if time permits. Upon arrival at the Mutianyu Great Wall, hike up on foot and walk along the wall, explore the tensely distributed Watchtowers, enjoy the break-taking natural scenery. The northward route between No. 14 and No. 23 watchtower has the most beautiful scenery, while the southward route contains the grand Zhengguan Terrace and Big Corner Tower. To get down the Great Wall, you can walk step by step or take Toboggan slide down at your own expense.
Have a short break and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Then continue to visit China’s largest and most well-preserved royal park – the Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). It started as a luxurious royal garden for royal families to rest and entertain in 1750 and later became the main residence of royal members at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Wander around the park, enjoy the natural beauty and the grandeur of royal garden. To conclude the tour, your guide will transfer you back to the hotel.

The tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide was the best person we could have ever asked for. He was very good in keeping us on schedule and was also very knowledgeable with so much interesting history. We were able to see many places while also having time to take everything in. We'd choose this guide again in a heartbeat to visit and tour across the world. One of the best experiences we've ever had in this lifetime. Thank you once again for the attention to detail.

We absolutely loved Beijing and regret that we only had 1 day to spend in this beautiful city. There are no words to adequately describe our guide. She was so incredibly professional yet friendly and, well, what can I say, she was so very knowledgeable and we learned so much from her. We will be back and so look forward to using this tour company again, as we know we will be assured of receiving top class service. Thank you so very much!
