    Make the most of your Beijing layover with our two flexible packages, designed to fit your travel style: Transfer-Only Package: Travel in comfort with an experienced private driver equipped with a multi-language translator device. Guided Tour Package: Explore with a knowledgeable local guide who will accompany you throughout the Great Wall visit and share fascinating historical insights. Your tour kicks off with pickup at either Beijing Daxing Airport (PKX) or Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), morning or afternoon, based on your flight arrival time. The scenic drive to Mutianyu Great Wall takes around 1.5 hours: if you’ve opted for the guided tour, your guide will regale you with stories and history of the Great Wall along the way; if you’ve chosen the transfer-only option, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the peaceful countryside views.

    Upon arrival, Great Wall entrance tickets are included in your package. You can opt for paid access to convenient uphill/downhill options—either round-trip cable car, or a fun combo of ski-lift up and toboggan down—to make your exploration easier. You’ll have 2–4 hours to explore the wall, with your guide or driver advising you on the return time based on your flight schedule. If you’re on the guided tour, your guide will join you for the hike, then give you plenty of free time to wander, snap photos, and soak in the views at your own pace. After your Great Wall adventure, we’ll arrange return transport to your chosen drop-off point: Beijing Daxing Airport (PKX), Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), or your downtown Beijing hotel.
