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!

Amazing Tour Experience
We had an incredible time seeing the great wall, forbidden city and other attractions. It was a long tour, over 12 hours from pick up to drop off but it never felt tedious or boring. Murphy was our guide and was awesome! I'd highly recommend it for someone wanting a full day experience.

This was a once in a lifetime experience!! We had Bobo as our tour guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited! She is very friendly, speaks English well, and took great pictures for us! Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing and looking for a whole day tour!

Excellent
A wonderful experience inspite of a challenging rainy weather, which was well handled by the host Maggie of Lily Tours. She ensured that the whole schedule was completed by adapting the tour very well. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend the tour to friends and family travelling to Beijing. Thanks to Maggie and Lily Tours.

Great tour-Highly recommend!
It was very helpful to visit these spots with a tour guide. Our guide, Jay, was very knowledgeable about the area and really made the experience more enjoyable. He also provided us with great tips about what to do in Beijing.

Great tour! Recommend!
My family of 4 (two adults, two teens) booked the 2-day Beijing private tour. Lily was very communicative before our tour and our guide Sally was incredible. She was knowlegeable, kind and did a great job keeping my boys engaged throughout a busy two days. The tour was organized well and we traveled to each location in a very nice and comfortable mini-van. Lunch each day was delicious. If you have only a short amount of time to spend in Beijing, this tour is the way to go.

Forbidden city
It is very crowded during the summer months and there are items and behaviors you need to follow. It is an amazing piece of history

My family and I had a great experience! Local guide Melody was very helpful and knowledgeable! She was also very conscientious and considerate, and always ensuring that our needs were met. She was able to bring to live the history and the various places that we visited. She also accompanied us throughout which was greatly appreciated.

How to get there
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.
