We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids-6 and 8 years old) and we needed the flexibility of being able to move around freely and booking this transport was the perfect way. Although it rained on the day we went to Mutianyu, our driver gave us his own umbrellas for us to use. Our only disappointment and completely unrelated to the driver, but more to do with the weather was that the toboggan was closed due to the rain. Our driver even waited for us while we ate at Laker's Pizza before we headed back to the city. On our way back to Beijing, we asked him to drop us off at the Lama Temple, The flexibility made our day so smooth.
