- gol_ruslan0 contributionsPerfect Layover Experience: Mutianyu Great Wall Tour with Maggie and Mr. YangI had an amazing experience with Maggie (Honggli) and Mr. Yang during my Airport Layover Great Wall Mutian Yu Trip. Maggie was such a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. She explained the history of the Great Wall in a way that made it really interesting and memorable. I also appreciated how she was so thoughtful and made sure everything ran smoothly. Mr. Yang was a great driver—super professional and made the ride comfortable and relaxing. The car was clean and well-maintained, which made the journey even better. This tour was the perfect way to spend my layover in Beijing. Everything was planned perfectly, and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I highly recommend this trip to any foreign visitor who has a layover and wants to experience the Great Wall without any stress. Huge thanks to Maggie and Mr. Yang for making my day so enjoyable!Written 11 December 2024

- katet4840 contributionsMutianyu Great Wall AdventureI An absolutely wonderful experience on this day tour - My tour guide Jerry can to pick me up from my hotel in Beijing with a private driver and we went straight to Tiananmen Square where Jerry and I walked me through security with VIP treatment and then continued through the square with Jerry providing excellent information on each building and allowing me to ask questions and take pictures along the way. Next we crossed to the Forbidden City where we once again received VIP access and continued the tour all through the Forbidden City with very informative and interesting commentary from Jerry for approximately 2 hours - this is a massive city and you could just tour the square or the city but I only had one day to spend in Beijing so I opted for the shorter tour. Next we traveled to Mutianyu about 2 hours from the Forbidden City, stopping along the way at a wonderful Jade shop where we had a delicious lunch and then continued through Mutianyu to the shuttle stop for the Great Wall. Jerry took care of everything and I received first class treatment the entire time. We took the shuttle to the chair lift which takes you to the top of the wall, and I hiked on the wall for an hour before returning by toboggan back to the shuttle stop. I went to a Tea Shop where they performed a traditional tea service and there was lots of opportunity to shop for souvenirs before I was returned to my hotel in the late afternoon. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.Written 7 December 2024

I've been to 3 different sections of the Great Wall, and the Huanghuacheng section is the best! Definitely worth at least a private driver. Our driver, Mr. Xie, was prompt and on time at our hotel and kept us updated on how long it was until our destination. We only hired a driver but he took us up to the wall to make sure we made it up there safely. He knew basic English and was able to hold small conversations and was able to answer all of our questions. I was able to hold longer conversations with him in Chinese (he was very patient with my Chinese, as I am currently learning the langauge). This section of the Wall was very quiet, oddly so since it was peak travelling season in China, but we didn't mind at all. Its not a hard hike at all. The views were absolutely stunning.

Fantastic day trip. I contacted Lily that one of the reviewers posted, and she replied promptly. Hey were very flexible as we have a 11 month old with us. Some amazing views, and next to no people... very private.

Our guide Rocky and driver Mr Xie took us to an unrestored section of the Great Wall. Everything was perfectly organised and Rocky was very informative and knowledgable.This hike is perfect for the fit and adventurous. We learnt a lot about Chinese history as well as contemporary life in China during the hike. Please be aware that this section of the wall can be precarious in certain areas, but Rocky ensured that we were safe at all times. It may be difficult for those of advanced age or with low to moderate fitness abilities. We only met two other hikers in 4.5 hours on the wall. This is also a perfect place for stunning photos. Lunch afterwards was delicious and the drive back to our hotel in Beijingwas spent snoozing in the comfortable van. We would love to come back in Spring or earlier in Autumn to see the landscape in different colours. Would definitely take a tour with Lily's Tour Guides again.
