Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace Tour
A truly wonderful and unforgettable experience not to be missed, we joined at watchtower 6 and chose the more challenging route towards 1, it was pretty hard going in places but the views made it worth the effort, we took the chair lift up and down and gave us the opportunity to see the wonderful views in a relaxed way. We did the tea ceremony in the village below - very interesting then, onto the summer palace where our guide Maggie was invaluable with her wealth of knowledge! If we could give her 10 stars we would, the whole day was made more special because of her subject knowledge and consideration of the whole group’s needs.
Wonderful tour

Unforgettable experience!
My family and I did this tour and our tour guide was Sunny. We had a great time and enjoyed very much our tour to the Great Wall and Summer Palace. We highly recommend Sunny, she is very attentive, very patient, explained things to us very well, very easy to talk to. Sunny made sure we had enough time to visit both places and we really appreciated that. We never felt rushed. At the same time we made great friends with the other people on the tour. This day trip is for sure unforgettable. Thanks Sunny for all your help and making our day unforgettable!!!
