Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall tour with an English-speaking driver provides an easy, stress-free way to explore one of the most iconic sections of the Great Wall of China. Your private driver will meet you in the hotel lobby, as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, or if you need to be picked up at the train station or airport, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge.
Known for its well-preserved architecture and panoramic mountain views, the Badaling section is the most popular and accessible part of the Great Wall, perfect for visitors interested in both history and stunning scenery.
Upon arrival, your driver will assist with purchasing entry tickets and optional cable car tickets (at your own expense), saving you time and simplifying the process. This self-guided Great Wall tour allows you the freedom to explore at your own pace, whether you want a leisurely walk or a challenging climb along the ancient ramparts. Ideal for those seeking a personalized, flexible experience.
