No matter what the weather, no matter how big the crowds, visitors aren't disappointed with the Great Wall. Mutianyu Great Wall is the longest fully resorted section of the Great Wall measuring 2.2km with 23 watchtowers.

As the royal residences of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties from the 15th to 20th century, the Forbidden City used to be the centre of State power in late feudal China. It was constructed between 1406 and 1420 by the Ming emperor Zhu Di and witnessed the enthronement of 14 Ming and 10 Qing emperors over the following 505 years. There are over a million rare and valuable works of art in the permanent collection of the Forbidden City including paintings, ceramics, seals, steles, sculptures, inscribed wares, bronze wares, enamel objects, etc. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987 and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

I definitely recommend a trip with this company. Very quick information, patient answers to many questions(I organized the trip for a group of 12 , so I always ask many questions to be sure about every detail ) We had a great guide -young beautiful girl (I forgot the name-sorry!) speaking English fluently (and this is not obvious in China) .She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. She came to the airport on time and completed the trip in 100% according to the plan. She was not only a guide. She was also our assistant-she had notes about our flight and took care about getting to the airport on time.We didn't have to worry about buying tickets and queuing up. So we all were fully relaxed during all the time. We also got water and warm jackets, which were needed in the autumn season. thank you for your professional service!

We booked our trip 1 day before arriving to Beijin, our communication was via email with Adela, she was at al time available. She even recomended at our discreción to make some arregements on our tour bases in the time we had available. Our driver James was great, very helpfull, he even leanded us some money because we didin’t had time to exchange at the AirPort. He drove us just in time for our flight. If you are in Beijin for a little minute I highly recomend you consider them to make your tour! They sure know their business.

Wir haben die Tour gebucht, weil wir 11 Stunden Aufenthalt in Peking hatten. Es hat alles perfekt geklappt. Der Fahrer hat auf uns gewartet bis wir eingereist sind und dann ging es direkt los zur Großen Mauer. Der Van war klimatisiert und es gab eine Flasche Wasser. Wir haben am Flughafen Geld abgehoben und dem Fahrer gegeben, der dann für uns die Tickets für den Sessellift und die Rodelbahn gekauft hat. Leider war unser Aufenthalt an einem Montag, an dem die Verbotene Stadt geschlossen ist. Dafür haben wir eine traditionelle Teezeremonie in einem Teehaus gemacht. War super! Können wir nur empfehlen ☺️

In Peking einen Layover von 13 Stunden gehabt, sodass diese Tour wunderbar Abhilfe geschaffen hat, diese Zeit bestmöglich zu nutzen. Toller Fahrer, sehr höflich, fokussiert aus der Zeit das meiste herauszuschlagen. Leider konnte die verbotene Stadt nicht noch erkundigt werden, aufgrund der Flugzeit an sich.
