Facilitan mucho el viaje a la muralla con este tour. Es muy conveniente que se encarguen del transporte, boletos de entrada y boletos de funicular. Como desventajas, comentaría qué el tour sale muy tarde de la ciudad, y si te toca un día con tráfico, empezarás a subir la muralla casi a las 2 pm o más tarde aun si compras el paquete con comida. Es muy poco tiempo para recorrer el espacio. Translate this opinion into English.

They make traveling to the wall very easy with this tour. It's very convenient that they take care of transportation, entrance tickets, and the funicular tickets. As a downside, I'd mention that the tour leaves the city very late, and if you have a busy day, you'll start climbing the wall at almost 2 p.m. or later, even if you buy the package with food. That's very little time to explore the area. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gran excursión. La guía, a la que cariñosamente bautizamos como “Cielo” fue un 10, nos trató de lujo, nos contó muchas curiosidades de la muralla y nos aconsejó sobre lugares lugares de interés que visitar. Nos recomendó que parte de la muralla visitar primero y así que nos diera tiempo a verlo todo y para la comida nos avisó de que podíamos dejar en una caja guardada lo que quisiéramos del buffet para comernoslo a la vuelta. Repetiríamos con ella sin dudarlo! Translate this opinion into English.

Great excursion. The guide, whom we affectionately called "Cielo," was a 10/10. She treated us wonderfully, told us lots of interesting facts about the wall, and advised us on places of interest to visit. She recommended which part of the wall to visit first so we'd have time to see everything. For lunch, she told us we could leave whatever we wanted from the buffet in a safe box to eat on our return. We would definitely go back with her again! Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía, Jazmín, fue muy agradable y nos explicó varias cosas durante el viaje en autobús hacia la Muralla. Sin embargo, al contratar esta excursión, en ningún sitio te pone que el acceso a la muralla se paga aparte. Hay dos tramos para visitar la muralla y cada tramo cuesta 140 Yuanes por persona. Súper recomendable pagar por hacer los dos tramos, pero resaltar que con esta actividad lo único que estás contratando es el transporte desde Pekín al recinto de la Muralla. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide, Jasmine, was very pleasant and explained several things to us during the bus ride to the Wall. However, when booking this tour, it doesn't mention anywhere that admission to the Wall is a separate charge. There are two sections to visit the Wall, and each section costs 140 Yuan per person. It's highly recommended to pay for both sections, but note that with this activity, all you're getting is transportation from Beijing to the Wall. Opinion translated. Show original.

It was a great experience and the guide we had, Jazmin, was wonderful at all times. She helped us with any questions we had. She was always there for everyone, leaving no one behind. So I'm grateful to Jazmin for this great experience because she made it very pleasant. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente tour, vehículo limpio y cómodo, guía con habla español perfecto. La verdad es que me encantó todo, aprendí muchísimo del país, del lugar al que visitábamos y siempre con mucho respeto gracias a Tianyi quien nos acompañó en el recorrido. Viajé sola y lo recomendaría plenamente, se me hizo muy entretenido. Volvería a repetirlo. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent tour, clean and comfortable vehicle, and a guide who spoke perfect Spanish. I truly loved everything about it. I learned so much about the country and the place we were visiting, always with great respect, thanks to Tianyi, who accompanied us on the tour. I traveled alone and would highly recommend it; I found it very entertaining. I would do it again. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita esta muy cuidada. La agencia te recoge en Pekín, te lleva a la muralla, te explica que tickets comprar y te acompañan hasta la entrada del telesilla. La subida a la muralla, el paseo por la muralla y la bajada las haces por tu cuenta. Vuelves a quedar con ellos para volver. En todo momento están muy pendientes de ti. Contactan ctg antes del día de la excursión por wasap y mientras estás en la muralla tb. La opción es español con Jazmín muy bien. También recomiendo Mike en ingles. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is very well-organized. The agency picks you up in Beijing, takes you to the wall, explains which tickets to buy, and accompanies you to the chairlift entrance. You can climb the wall, walk along the wall, and descend on your own. You can meet up with them again to return. They are always attentive to your needs. They contact CTG before the day of the excursion via WhatsApp and also while you're on the wall. Spanish is available with Jazmín, which is very good. I also recommend Mike in English.

Muy recomendable! Yasmine, la guia muy amable y atenta desde el minuto 1. Una vez alliz el buffet restaurant un poco Justo,pero lo demas genial. Nos recomendaron hacer los dos circuitos y da tiempo de sobras, y luego de bajada, haces el tobogan y abajo te relajas en alguna cafeteria hasta la hora de encuentro. Un dia completo! Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended! Yasmine, the guide, was very friendly and attentive from the very first minute. Once there, the buffet restaurant was a bit limited, but everything else was great. They recommended doing both circuits, which gives you plenty of time. Then, on the way down, you can take the slide and relax at the bottom of the cafe until the meeting time. A full day!

The tour is not cheap, considering how much you could pay just arranging everything on your own. BUT it definitely worth it. You don’t have to think about nothing, just enjoying the amazing Great Wall! Mutianyu section is feasible, fun and wonderful at the same time. If you need something not so far from Beijing to be done comfortably in just 1 day, this is definitely the right tour. Do your best to reach tower n.20 and feel like an hero!!

Muy buena pero un poco desepcionado porque compramos un tour grupal guiado En español y no fue así. La chica que nos acompañó muy amable y atenta pero la descripción del producto que compramos es engañoso. La explicación e historia de la muralla china fue muy escueta y arriba del bus en camino a la muralla, una vez en la muralla no existió la explicación y acompañamiento que esperábamos. Medio una estafa en pocas palabras ya que eso mismo que pagamos lo podríamos haber hecho por nuestra cuenta

Very good, but a little disappointed because we purchased a guided group tour in Spanish, which wasn't the case. The girl who accompanied us was very kind and attentive, but the description of the product we purchased was misleading. The explanation and history of the Great Wall of China was very brief, and once on the bus on the way to the wall, there was none of the explanation or support we had hoped for. It was a bit of a scam, in short, since we could have done the same thing we paid for on our own.

Esta actividad no incluye servicio de guía, sino de acompañante, que está allí para ayudar con las dudas logísticas y organizativas que puedan tener los participantes acerca de la excursión. Durante la visita a la Gran Muralla China no está prevista una visita guiada, como explicamos en la web. Sentimos las molestias. Translate this opinion into English.

This activity does not include a guide, but rather a tour guide, who is available to assist with any logistical and organizational questions participants may have about the excursion. A guided tour is not scheduled during the visit to the Great Wall of China, as explained on the website. We apologize for any inconvenience. Opinion translated. Show original.

L’escursione è stata organizzata nel migliore dei modi: la guida Amelia, che parla inglese, ha spiegato in modo chiaro come si sarebbe svolta la giornata e ha risposto a ogni domanda. C’è tempo a sufficienza sia per visitare la parte est che sud. Consiglierei caldamente questo tour a tutti!

I want to recognize our guide work. Lhamo. She truly elevated my experience! Her passion for the destination and her country was infectious, and she effortlessly shared fascinating information and hidden gems that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Beyond her extensive knowledge, her warm and engaging personality made me feel comfortable and connected. She was patient, answering all our questions with enthusiasm, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable and enriching visit.

La actividad fue muy bien, parece lento hasta que llegas a la Muralla, pero da tiempo a hacer uno de los dos recorridos. Algunos tramos son complicados y muy empinados. Comer allí es fácil, ellos tienen un menú buffet que si no lo contratas antes lo puedes pagar en el momento. La actividad se realizó en inglés a pesar de que en civitatis pone en Español, si no sabes inglés seguir todas las instrucciones es difícil, solo tienen un folleto en español. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very good. It seems slow until you reach the Wall, but it gives you time to complete one of the two routes. Some sections are tricky and very steep. Eating there is easy; they have a buffet menu that you can pay for immediately if you don't pre-book it. The activity was conducted in English, even though Civitatis says it's in Spanish. If you don't speak English, following all the instructions is difficult; they only have a brochure in Spanish. Opinion translated. Show original.

Rachel is the best. She helped us booked attractions like cable car super easy. She tooked care of everything. Highly recommended to take the earliest bus (8am) if possible. You have time enough to do east and west routes. Kindly note is High season, so long queues. Go early

En general bien, solo recomendaría que la salida sea puntual ya que esperaron por algunas personas que llegaron tarde a la estación. Recomendaría también establecer horas y puntos de encuentro para todas las personas del grupo y exhortar a respetarlas ya que por tratar de ser puntuales algunos nos perdimos de el segundo recorrido y los que si lo hicieron regresaron muy tarde y los tuvimos que esperar.

Overall, it was good. I would only recommend that the departure be on time, as they waited for some people who arrived late at the station. I would also recommend setting meeting times and points for everyone in the group and encouraging them to respect them, as in trying to be punctual, some of us missed the second ride, and those who did made it returned very late, and we had to wait for them.

Avevo nel pacchetto un tour di 30 minuti che non c'è stato, salvo non intedessero le spiegazioni che ha dato la guida durante il viaggio. La guida parla un buono inglese ma quando abbiamo chiesto chiarimenti mediante traduttore perché non parliamo bene l'inglese, non ha risposto. Il posto molto bello, una bella sfacchinata se si vuole arrivare alla torre più alta.

We loved this excursion! Especially thanks to our guide, Tianyi, who was incredibly attentive to us at all times.

Actividad obligatoria si vas a Beijing. La muralla es apta para todo tipo de personas. Nosotros fuimos con un niño de 5 años y lo aguantó bien (evidentemente no la hicimos de punta a punta). El poder bajar la muralla en tobogán es todo un atractivo sobretodo para los más pequeños. Referente a la guía. Sólo decir que excepcional, súper atenta, nos resolvió todo tipo de dudas, nos ayudó en todo lo posible y no nos olvidemos de la explicación sobre la muralla que fue muy amena y enriquecedora. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-do activity if you go to Beijing. The wall is suitable for all ages. We went with a 5-year-old, and he handled it well (obviously, we didn't go all the way down). The ability to slide down the wall is a real attraction, especially for the little ones. As for the guide, I can only say she was exceptional; she was extremely attentive, answered all our questions, helped us in every way possible, and let's not forget the explanation about the wall, which was very entertaining and enriching.
