Hi is there any day tour to Mutianyu which can pick us from our stay at Huaibei District to Mutianyu Great Wall instead of meet/pick up in the City hotels/Wangfujing area?
What would the price be?
at 10:30 am
Hi Pearly, our pick up area is within the city, thanks.

Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour:
I plan to take the cable car to Tower 14, walk to Tower 20, then walk from Tower 20 to tower 6, and finally ride the toboggan from Tower 6. I estimate around 3.5 hours walking along the wall. Will there be enough time for this ?
at 6:00 pm
Yes, enough time.

Do you offer a half day tour to Mutianyu that leaves from Beijing the second half of the day? Beijing tours has one but it is quite expensive for just one person and I am traveling alone. Thank you
