5 star tour
I toured with my wife, 15 year old son and 81 year old mom with tour guide manna. It was a great tour through Beijing. We saw all the sights. Manna was really accommodating for the entire group catering to all our requests. We were driven around in new and clean vehicles with courteous driver. Manna was knowledgeable with all the history delivered in fluent English. The lunches were well planned and food was good. This is a must do private tour.

Wonderful guide to Beijing's most significant sites
Qing was a wonderful guide. He kept us calm as we waited for over an hour in the rain in 4 security lines to get into Tiananmen Square, so we could snap a couple photos.
When we got into the Forbidden City, Qing shepherded us away from the crowd and explained its history, as well as the contemporary Hanfu movement. He then showed us the most significant buildings and stayed with us longer than scheduled to compensate for the long security lines in the morning.

Great day!
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Jeffrey! He was very knowledgeable and his English was great. It was a very busy day with a lot of walking but if you have limited time in Beijing this is a great tour to see a lot of major sights. I would definitely recommend this tour

100% Recommend
We had a FANTASTIC day with our guide May. Her english was very good, her knowledge of the sites and history was even better! Pick up and drop off were smooth. The sites were very busy and because we had a guide our queue wait times we much shorter than others (well worth it). We visited a tea room and then lunch at a local place. DELICIOUS!! 100% recommend using this service/tour!

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!

Strongly recommend
First day in Beijing, Jessica helped us a lot to use the subway, find our way through the many gates at the Forbidden City and get quick entry.
We also liked all the discussions and we learned quite a lot about the culture and the monuments. Definitely recommend!

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.
