A very interesting excursion with Cici
We had a wonderful day with Cici at the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Cici is an excellent guide! She told us so many interesting historical facts about the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. We learned a great deal about the history of China and its ruling dynasties. Besides Cici was very friendly and very attentive to our needs and answered ervy single question we asked. The lunch was very tasty, everything was very well organised. I highly recommend this tour! Dear Cici, thank you very much for such a great excursion, for your hospitality and your kindness!

Great tour with Mike on Mutianyu
I had a great experience with Mike on the Mutianyu tour. He explained a lot of Chinese culture and history during the bus ride to help us better understand the Great Wall. He also had print outs to maximise the use of our time to get the best out of the east and west section.

Amazing experience at Great Wall with Mr. Mike
The Great Wall is one of the seven heritage of the world and we have understood the reason today. It’s so beautiful and well maintained that you are speechless in front of it. Thank to Mubus team we listen the history behind it, how it was built and some military aspects.
The tour is very very well designed, with time to see the Great Wall alone and to listen a private lesson (if you book it). Very comfortable bus.
Lunch is at buffet, with many options (even vegeterian!) and everything is fresh.
The special thanks, at the end, goes to our special guide Mr. Mike. He is an amazing guide: funny, always smiling and very well prepared. He gave us all the key information on the bus and gave us some special advises.
Next time, we want to have him again as guide!
Operator response
hank you sincerely for your wonderful review. We are glad you finally felt the charm of this world‑renowned heritage‑the Great Wall. It makes us delighted that our well‑designed tour brought you a great experience. We are extremely proud of our guide Mr. Mike. His rich knowledge, humour, warm smile and practical tips won your high recognition. We are honoured that you hope to have him as your guide next time. We look forward to welcoming you back to China again. Wish you all the best.

VERY BREATH TAKING, LIKE LITERALLY CATCHING MY OWN BREATH
Really loved this trip! Jily was a great guide—super friendly and down-to-earth. She mentioned that the summer crowd was gone since schools are back, and it made such a difference. The wall was so quiet and peaceful, we could take our time and get some really nice photos without people photobombing us.
Mubus also did a great job. They have this little lounge area near the wall with free tea, snacks, water, and even raincoats just in case—such a small but thoughtful thing. Jily gave us five hours to explore, which was plenty. I pushed myself all the way to Tower 23, and she joked I was a 'Great Wall hero' now—honestly, it felt good!
The pacing of the day was just right—not too rushed, not too slow. And the bus back was clean and comfortable; I actually fell asleep as soon as I sat down.
All in all, a really enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend Mubus and Jily to anyone looking for a stress-free Great Wall trip.
Operator response
Thank you for this wonderful and detailed review. We are thrilled to know you had such a stress‑free Great Wall tour with Mubus. Our guide Jily is always warm‑hearted and practical, and we are glad her observation about post‑summer‑season crowds helped you enjoy the quiet Great Wall. It makes us happy that our lounge with free tea, snacks, water and spare raincoats brought you convenience. We are proud you made it all the way to Tower 23 and became the “Great Wall hero”. The well‑balanced schedule and comfortable return bus are what we keep pursuing. Thank you for recommending Mubus and Jily. We sincerely hope to welcome you again for your next visit to China.
