![]() "Una experiencia inolvidable. La organización del tour fue excelente, y lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue NUESTRA GUIA LIDIA. Siempre atenta, clara en sus explicaciones, simpática, y con una actitud cálida y muy profesional en todo momento, lo que hizo que cada lugar cobrara vida.

short trip to peking
![]() We do had three days in Beijing with Jiang. The organisation, driver and guiding was really great. We have been a group of 2 (couple). I think we would have needed nearly +30 percent more time to find the right queueing line at all the places. For us it was a hassel free and seamless enjoyment - to visit all the places and having a long hiking track at the great wall of china. thank you very much Jiang & china highlights & team. ps: we also tasted a lot of vegetarian food which was really great. more

According to your prearranged schedule, your private guide will meet you in your hotel lobby. A comfortable vehicle will be ready for your 2-day Great Wall tour.
It takes about 2 hours to get from Beijing to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Have a round-trip cable car ride for ascending and descending the wall. You will be free to explore the wall easily on your own, after your guide has offered some introductory explanations.
