Mutianyu Great Wall Tour - The Wonder of Ancient China

Michael is a very arranging guide, ready to make compromise to arrange the best customized tour. As such, with only 1 day available, I could do both Mutianyu Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Furthermore Michael picked me up at my hotel at 6:30am, despite it was out of Ring 5, so we could arrive at Mutianyu GW just for the opening, and thus avoid too much people. I've been unlucky with the weather (hot, cloudy and wet at the GW, and a big storm when arriving to the FC), but Michael is not in charge of the weather, unfortunately ;o)) We had good time together, I saw great things, we had a bit of fun, and a good lunch together. I fully recommand Michael for customized private tour around Beijing !

Exceptional Experience at Mutianyu! If you are planning a trip to the Great Wall, look no further! This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. My guide was phenomenally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical insights about the Wonder of Ancient China that brought the stone and guard towers to life. Navigating a world heritage site can be overwhelming, but having the tickets completely handled and logistics synchronized seamlessly made the day entirely stress-free. My guide knew exactly how to pace the hike, pointed out the absolute best photo spots (and even helped capture some stunning shots!), and ensured I had a memorable, unhurried experience. Truly a 10/10 day—highest recommendation!

Absolutely Exceptional Guide – Highly Recommended! We had the pleasure of exploring the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall with Michael, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He picked us up very early, ensuring we arrived before the crowds. As a result, we had the rare opportunity to enjoy the Wall in almost complete peace — perfect for walking at our own pace and capturing stunning, unobstructed photos. Michael was incredibly efficient and well-organized, and his English is excellent, which made communication smooth and pleasant. Beyond that, he’s very warm, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about Chinese history, culture, and everyday life. If you’re planning to visit Beijing, Michael is an absolute gem — professional, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. We highly recommend him for any sightseeing tours in and around Beijing!

Michael is a great guide with good English, very informative and helpful. We arrived at the Great Wall an hour before closure and had an amazing experience, shot great photos with no tourists. The dinner afterwards was great as well. Thank you so much indeed! Hope to see you again.
