Awesome Visit to the Summer Palace and Great Wall of China
We took the two days tour with Lisa. Our guide Lisa was extremely professional La and knowledgeable. She explained all about the history of the sites we located. She was also very attentive to our needs and safety. The car that took us every where was very comfortable. The driver was very on time and we did not have to wait. We got to try the Beijing duck which was amazing. At the great wall of China we also got to try the local grilled rainbow trout which was delicious too!

My family and I had a great time with Jessie on the tour. She was very considerate of everyone’s needs, knowledgeable, shared personal stories. She is personable and knew how to avoid the crowds. Our tour was in English and she was very fluent. Showed a good knowledge base and did a good job explaining. Our driver was very prompt and the private bus was very clean. Highly recommend!

Let Linda guide you through Beijing’s best sites!
Great way to see Beijing with a local who knows the sights and knows how to check into each place and is knowledgable about the sights!
Linda kept me company while I visited the city alone. Taught me some history and some Chinese!

Mary was an amazing tour guide and was fantastic at navigating the crowds and keeping the group moving together. She really went above and beyond with entertaining our little ones throughout, especially when they were resting in the shade from the heat so we could then go and look into specific buildings.
Despite the long security lines and the high temperatures, we all enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend booking this half day tour to others.

Wonderful, must go
Dana is very friendly, helpful and very well organized; explains very well without being repetitive and tiresome like other guides. Her printouts were few and very complete, easy to follow. Had a great time!!

Forbidden City with Lily
Lily gave us an expert tour of the Forbidden City. She is very knowledgeable and also well-tuned into the needs of the group, offering breaks and free time as needed. I learned a lot and have a great tour!

Informative, well worth it
If we went without a tour, we would know nothing about the place. Our guide Anson was personable and professional. Pace was quick, and we were able to cover a lot of ground in 3 hours.

Great Trip
It was great and provided a ton of context for everything we saw! It made the trip so much more interesting so when we wandered around after we were looking for things that we had learned. Was the perfect length, wasn't too long that we didn't have time to explore on our own.

Best first day intro to Bejing
This was a fabulous 1 day tour of the most famous sites of central Bejing. Our English speaking guide (ask for Herbie) was super informative on all the historic sites and very freindly.
The lunch was more like a banquet of delicious Chinese foods. The Peaking duck was superb.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour for all first time visitors to Bejing especially if you can get Herbie who will make the day one to remember.

When to visit

Choose between standard entrance Forbidden City (Palace Museum) tickets and city tours that include access to the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace.
For a more personal experience of the Forbidden City and other Beijing highlights, choose a private tour.
As many as 80,000 people visit the Forbidden City daily, so it’s best to book tickets several days in advance or book Forbidden City (Palace Museum) tours that include skip-the-line access.
The Forbidden City offers little shade, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water if visiting on a warm day.
Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a fair amount of walking if you really want to explore the Forbidden City.
