Itinerary

1. We offer two package options for your private tour: Package 1: Badaling Great Wall with VIP Access Your private tour guide and driver will meet you in your Beijing hotel's lobby, then you'll board your exclusive private vehicle heading directly to Badaling Great Wall. As one of the most renowned sections of the Great Wall, Badaling boasts well-preserved watchtowers, imposing ramparts, and offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The 1.5-hour drive includes your guide vividly recounting the Great Wall's history and related Chinese culture, giving you initial insights before arrival. Upon reaching the parking lot, take our exclusive shuttle bus straight to the cable car entrance. With VIP access, skip queues and head up via cable car—no time wasted. Once on the wall, your guide stays with you, offering in-depth explanations of its history and architecture, while you also get free time to take photos and explore.

   2 hAdmission included

2. Package 2: Badaling Ancient Great Wall For a more primitive experience, choose this option. The Badaling Ancient Great Wall, a lesser-visited gem, features weathered stonework, overgrown paths, and relics that tell tales of centuries past, retaining a raw, untouched charm. Meet your guide and driver at your hotel, then drive to this hidden section—no commercialization, no crowds, just the quiet grandeur of ancient defenses. It’s ideal if you want the wall to yourself. Note: There’s no cable car here; you’ll hike to explore. Your guide will accompany you, sharing its history, and you’ll have free time to soak in the raw, historic atmosphere. At the end of the tour, your guide and driver will send you back to your hotel.

About Beijing

Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.

At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
