This private full-day tour lasts about 8 to 10 hours and covers two major attractions in Beijing. The day starts with hotel pickup by a private vehicle with a professional English-speaking guide and driver. The group travels about 1.5 hours to Mutianyu Great Wall, a less crowded section known for its natural scenery of forests and grasslands. Visitors have roughly two hours to explore; they can hike uphill for around 30 minutes or take the chairlift up. On the return, an optional toboggan ride down the hill is available unless restricted by age, pregnancy, weather, or long lines. After the Great Wall visit, the tour includes a local lunch. The group then drives just over an hour to the Summer Palace. This historic imperial garden features many landmarks: the Long Corridor, which is the world’s longest painted corridor according to Guinness World Records, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Marble Boat, Kunming Lake, and Longevity Hill. Visitors have time to tour these sites, including a visit to the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity and the Qingyan Stone Boat. At the end of the day, the driver returns guests to their hotel. All entrance fees, the cable car or toboggan ride at Mutianyu, lunch, bottled water, and private transfers are included. The toboggan is not available for guests over 60, pregnant women, children under 3, or during bad weather or long queues; in such cases, the chairlift is available both ways. The tour operates in all weather, but severe weather may cause cancellation with options for rescheduling or refunds. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing are recommended. This tour is not advised for travelers with back or heart problems.
