Great Experience
emees2026, October 2026
Tour was a very good experience. It's very organized. Pick up point was easy to locate and well marked. The Guide, Mr Mike was excellent. He was very informative and lots of "Real Talk" and added lots of tips as to how we go best with our visit to the Great Wall. He even sent us, restaurant suggestions and places for shopping. Also sent us photos of the Great Wall and the cats after. I would suggest to add at least another hour of the tour. 4.5-5 hours may sound enough but we got the lunch included and it was a bit rushed in the end as it was time to go back. Over all it was great.. Thanks to Mr Mike. Will come visit China again.
Response from the operator · Cruiser62431893100 Dear Guest,
Thank you for such a detailed review. We're glad the pick-up point was easy to find and well marked, and even happier that Mr Mike made such a difference — informative, full of "real talk", and generous with tips for the Great Wall, restaurant suggestions, shopping spots, and even photos of the Wall and the cats afterwards. Those little extras are what we hope every guest remembers.
We also really appreciate your suggestion about adding another hour. You're right that when lunch is included, the day can feel rushed toward the end, and we'll take a close look at the timing so future guests can enjoy a more comfortable pace. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back to China and to Mubus soon.

Best tour and guide
DayTrip30565122033, October 2026
I highly recommend this 7:30 AM Mubus tour! We got to the Great Wall early and avoided crowds. Our guide John was knowledgeable and friendly, detailing the Great Wall’s history through different dynasties and helping purchase our tickets. The waiting lounge was lovely, serving teas, fruits and snacks, and the lunch was plentiful. Each guest received a free bottle of water, and we could grab coffee at a nice discount. The whole service was incredibly thoughtful.
Response from the operator · Cruiser62431893100 Dear Guest,
Thank you for the strong recommendation. That 7:30 AM start is one of our favorite parts of this tour — getting to the Wall before the crowds really changes the whole experience. It's great that John brought the dynasties to life and handled your tickets so you could simply enjoy the day. We're also glad the lounge, teas, fruits, snacks, and plentiful lunch hit the mark, and that the free water and coffee discount added a nice touch. "Thoughtful" is exactly what we aim for, so your words mean a lot. We'll pass them on to John, and we'd love to welcome you on another Mubus tour.

Our Great Wall trip with Mubus was amazing! Our guide, Jily, was fantastic—friendly, cheerful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Great Wall. She recommended the west side, which is less crowded, has stunning views, and is a much more comfortable walk. The historical stories she shared made the hike even more meaningful. Mubus handled everything smoothly, from punctual pick-up and drop-off to comfortable buses and a lounge with free tea and snacks before the climb. Everything was perfect and stress-free. I highly recommend booking with Mubus, and being fortunate enough to have Jily as your guide!
