    We offer two package options for your private tour:

    Package 1: Badaling Great Wall with VIP Access
    Your private tour guide and driver will meet you in your Beijing hotel's lobby, then you'll board your exclusive private vehicle heading directly to Badaling Great Wall.

    As one of the most renowned sections of the Great Wall, Badaling boasts well-preserved watchtowers, imposing ramparts, and offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The 1.5-hour drive includes your guide vividly recounting the Great Wall's history and related Chinese culture, giving you initial insights before arrival.

    Upon reaching the parking lot, take our exclusive shuttle bus straight to the cable car entrance. With VIP access, skip queues and head up via cable car—no time wasted.

    For a more primitive experience, choose this option. The Badaling Ancient Great Wall, a lesser-visited gem, features weathered stonework, overgrown paths, and relics that tell tales of centuries past, retaining a raw, untouched charm. Meet your guide and driver at your hotel, then drive to this hidden section—no commercialization, no crowds, just the quiet grandeur of ancient defenses. It’s ideal if you want the wall to yourself. Note: There’s no cable car here; you’ll hike to explore. Your guide will accompany you, sharing its history, and you’ll have free time to soak in the raw, historic atmosphere.
    At the end of the tour, your guide and driver will send you back to your hotel.
