Private Mutianyu Great Wall & Ming Tombs: Transfer or Guided Tour

Whether you’re traveling solo, with a loved one, or in a group, choose your ideal way to explore two of Beijing’s most iconic world heritage sites— the magnificent Mutianyu Great Wall and the solemn Ming Tombs—with our private service. We offer two flexible options to suit your needs: an stress-free private transfer only, or a transfer plus a professional local guide. Tailored to all travel styles, this service lets you immerse yourself in history and natural beauty without any of the hassles of public transport or group tours.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup at your centrally located Beijing hotel, where you’ll meet your friendly, experienced driver. Step aboard your private, air-conditioned vehicle—customized to your group size from 5 to 55 seats—and settle in comfortably. Complimentary bottled water and light snacks are prepared on board to keep you refreshed throughout the trip.

If you opt for the guided package, your knowledgeable guide will accompany you throughout the journey, sharing fascinating historical anecdotes and cultural insights about the Mutianyu Great Wall as you head there (approximately 1.5 hours’ drive). Along the way, let your eyes wander over the stunning scenery unfolding outside: from Beijing’s bustling urban skyline gradually giving way to the lush, rolling countryside.

Upon arrival, your driver or guide will guide you to the ticket office, saving you the trouble of navigating unfamiliar queues. Then, you’ll have ample free time to hike the Great Wall at your own pace—admire the ancient watchtowers standing tall against the sky, feel the breeze on your face, and capture breathtaking photos of this architectural marvel, with your guide on hand to answer any questions.

Next, you’ll journey to the Ming Tombs (around a 1-hour drive), passing through charming local villages along the way. If you wish to stop for an authentic rural lunch or snap photos of the idyllic countryside, just let your driver or guide know—flexibility is at the heart of this service. Upon reaching the Ming Tombs, a sacred burial ground of 13 Ming Dynasty emperors, your driver or guide will assist with tickets and show you a convenient waiting spot. With a guide, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the imperial mausoleum’s layout, rituals, and historical significance as you explore this profound cultural heritage site at your leisure.

After soaking up the history and beauty of both sites, your driver will safely drop you back at your centrally located hotel, wrapping up a seamless and memorable day. With 8–9 hours of dedicated service, this private transfer ensures every moment of your trip is relaxed, enjoyable, and tailored to you.
