Review of Beijing Mubus Mutianyu Great Wall tours, with direct transport, long Wall time, guides, lunch, hiking, and Summer Palace options.

“Jily made our Mutianyu Great Wall trip on Chinese New Year absolutely fantastic! Her cheerful personality and deep knowledge of both the wall and Spring Festival traditions kept us engaged from start to finish. The logistics couldn't have been smoother—we gathered at Dongzhimen Subway Station, a super convenient meeting point. The Mubus operation is brilliantly organized: every bus holds 40 people, and they depart as soon as the bus fills up, both on the way there and back. No tedious waiting around! Jily's advice to start early was golden—the wall was packed with holiday crowds, but we navigated it effortlessly thanks to her timing tips. And the Mubus buffet? Amazing…”

“Fantastic day out. The tour guide Rocky really knew his stuff and could answer all questions. He was able to navigate us around the massive crowds very well as it was the national holiday week when we went. Rocky also took a lot of excellent pictures, and even downloaded them to our phones. He's a great guide who's English is impeccable. The tour was very long but worth every minute.”
