- stuarto7000 contributionsOur first visit to Beijing.Linda Xie was our guide for 2 days to the major Beijing tourist sites including The Great Wall, Avenue of the Animals, Tiananmen Sq, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. She also took us to a beautiful traditional and quiet restaurant that was just outside the Summer Palace. Excellent food and ambiance/a delightful change of pace. Linda’s guidance was essential/there is no way as tourists from the US we could have managed without her. Her English is excellent, she is very knowledgeable, and pleasant to be with. She also met us at the airport and got us back/ helped us check in for our return flt. This was very important as it would have been very difficult to figure this out without her guidance. Please note that when we posted this review a few days ago, somehow the star rating erroneously listed our experience as being 4 stars. That was a technical error when uploading the review. Linda ranks as a 5 star guide!!Written 26 November 2024

Definitely helped us in deciding which direction to go. He brought us to an excellent restaurant for lunch after our visit to the Great Wall. The Ming tombs in my opinion was very disappointing. Nothing like what I saw 30 years ago. All in all, we. We were very happy that we booked this private trip.Written 3 November 2024

The tour was perfectly organized, starting on timely picking up, through the care during the tour to the return to the hotel. My driver Lillian was just amazing. Although the tour wasn't a guided tour, she didn't just take me to the chairlift and bought me the ticket I needed so that I didn't have to go up to the wall (the card for the chairlift is not included and must be bought locally around 140RMB). Since I was alone, she went up with me to take photos. Thanks to Lillian, I now have a whole series of photos and videos of myself on the chairlift and on the wall that I would never have had as a solo traveler. Unfortunately, it started to rain and thunderstorms, bit she got me an umbrella and took care of me when I came back pretty wet despite the umbrella. Thank you Lillian. I guess I don't need to say much about the wall, it's an experience that you should definitely have once in your life. However, I would highly recommend that you have the additional expenses for the chairlift - and if it's not raining, you can do the descent with a toboggan run, since the wall itself is quite steep and sweaty and it's better to use the time and energy to continue walking on the wall and to enjoy the eccentric views instead of walking the steep climb in the forest. I can only warmly recommend the tour, although it will be relatively expensive as an individual (same price as for two)

Going to Beijing and seeing the great wall of China is a must. I enjoyed every part of it from the hotel pick up to climbing the wall. Linda “the host” was a great person to interact with. She arranged the pick up from the hotel in a decent car and explained the details of the trip including the options of how you can reach the top to access the wall. I recommend booking this experience.

Thank you very much. Everything went wonderfully. Davis picked me up at the agreed meeting point at the agreed time. On the way to Mutianyu he told me interesting information about China and Beijing. Because it was so cold, he even called the ticket shop for the wall so that I could rent another jacket. However, this was unnecessary because it got warmer by the time I got on the chairlift. Davis helped me with the tickets and I had 3-4 hours to explore the wall on my own. After the final toboggan ride into the valley, Davis was already waiting for me again. He even offered me other sights (for an additional cost). I can recommend the tea ceremony in the nearby tea house. The teas are very good and the lady explained a lot to me about Chinese tea traditions.
All in all, a successful and highly recommended trip with Davis from Linda Beijing Tour Car Service. I would come back to you another time. Thank you Davis :-)

Linda, she is very kind and attentive on the way to the wall, she answers your questions and tries to give you the best tips so you can have a very pleasant time. Although she does not go up the wall with you, she gives you very clear instructions on what to do. as well as schedules (that are met). I recommend it.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Not only did we see the Great Wall, but we also had a chance to learn a lot about the Chinese culture. We had an amazing experience at the tea shop, which our tour guide Linda made possible for us since we expressed interest in the tea culture. The lunch at the Great Wall was delicious and we tried many different dishes and drinks we did not try before. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She paid attention to all of our desires and made it all possible. She is the best tour guide.

It was a very nice experience to visit the wall and the driver Linda gave us helpful tips and support. Mutianyu is a very good option if you want to see the Great Wall of China in a well-maintained state. Linda organized a very pleasant trip for us. It is recommended to leave as early as possible to avoid as much traffic as possible.

Journey from Beijing took about an hour and a half. Our guide bought the cable car tickets for us and was able to get some discounts. Once up onto the Great Wall, the view was awe-inspiring. We could walk freely as there were not much people around probably because it is winter and this part of the Great Wall is less frequented. Guide explained the history of the Great Wall to us and we walked to one of the towers where we could have a 360 view. As it had snowed about a week before, the snow had melted and became ice. Need to walk slowly as it is extremely slippery a. Myself and a few others had slipped and fell. We took the slide down the mountain and it was fun for the kids. Need to check the brakes as it could be very fast. Overall, a great day that we will always remember.

Excellent tour arrangements! The driver (Alvin) picked me up on time at my hotel as arranged (06:30! Early start but totally worth it for the chance to experience the wall without heavy crowds.) He spoke good English and was very polite and friendly, and I felt very comfortable with him as a solo female traveler. He was also very happy to be flexible around how long I wanted to spend on the wall. I ended up taking longer than I had expected as the weather was so good and the views so spectacular, so I wanted to hike the whole section. We had good communication throughout and he was relaxed about me taking the extra time, which was great so I didn't feel rushed. Really recommend this tour option!

What is the earliest you would do a pickup in Beijing on a Saturday morning? Would like to beat the crowds and the heat as much as possible. Thanks!
Written 31 July 2019
We did 6:45am pick up and the driver got us to the wall at Mutianyu at eight. Just as the ticket office opened.
Most of the morning was very quiet. Only got a bit busier around ten thirty onwards.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am coming to China from US with my 2 cousins. We are interested in booking a private car to take us to see the Great Wall at Mutianyu and Simatai. We want to leave early from our Beijing hotel, get to Mutianyu Great Wall, spend 2-3 hours hiking there and head over to see the Simatai Great wall in the night. After that, we want to return the same night to Beijing.
Is this doable? What would be the cost?
Thanks,
Jaya
