MuBus takes you from Beijing to Mutianyu Great Wall with skip-the-line tickets, guided storytelling, and up to 4 hours on the Wall.

“What a fantastic organisation of this group from Mubus! Everything was on time, the tour guide Helly was amazing. Very caring as she advised us to take east side of wall (as against West) which was easier to walk. Thanks to her we truly enjoyed our walk (we are both in our sixties). The Mubus lunch was one of the best food we had in Beijing. Huge variety and super tasty. Also Mubus souvenir shop is much much cheaper than buying from the street shops as we discovered a bit too late. Overall it was one of the best tours we had in Beijing.”
