Looking for a Badaling Great Wall private car with professional driver from Beijing? Badaling is the most famous and most visited section of the Great Wall of China — the one first-timers picture when they think of the Great Wall. It is also the closest major section to Beijing, just about 1.5 hours each way. The restored wall, cable car and famous toboggan ride make it perfect for families, first-time visitors and anyone short on time. Your private driver waits while you explore, then brings you back on your own schedule.
We provide door-to-door service from any Beijing hotel, airport (PEK or PKX), or railway station. Our professional drivers handle all driving, parking, tolls and navigation — you simply enjoy the scenery and the Wall. Fixed pricing from $190 full-day with no hidden fees.
