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.

Lots to see and do on this tour - Rita guided us through all the attractions listed on the tour and provided us with lots of fun information about the places we visited! She also gave great recommendations for the rest of our time in Beijing, and it was a perfect little outing for the family!

Amazing day with Lucy at Great Wall
Our tour guide Lucy was amazing. She added humor, culture and history all into on tour. No questions unanswered and she kept us moving but did not feel rushed.

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!

Excellent guided tour of 2 of Beijing’s most popular sites .
Excellent from start to finish . Jimmy our guide spoke excellent English and explained in detail about the sites we were visiting . He was a friendly guide and nothing was too much for him . There was a lot of walking involved but that is expected . Plenty of opportunities to take it at your own pace too . We saw Tianeman Square and the Forbidden palace . We decided to go to Jingshan park after on Jimmy’s advice . Not disappointed at all !

Best Day Ever
Absolutely amazing day! Can’t recommend it enough. Our tour guide Xixi was the best - super personable, funny, and knowledgeable. We were only in Beijing for a few days, and this was worth every penny. Very comfortable car and personal driver too. The Great Wall was breath taking and so impressive. We got to learn a ton about Chinese history from Xixi at the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

Great experience
Great walking tour of T Square, Forbidden City, quite exhausting though lasting about 5hrs of walking. No choice but to do it by foot. Tour guide Shine was amazing. Very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information. Overall a great experience, strongly recommend.

10/10 day
This tour was the highlight of our trip in Beijing. Maggie was extremely informative, and the tour was very well paced. We had a very long day of touring, but Maggie made sure it did not feel long. We had just the perfect amount of time at each destination and did not feel rushed.
Maggie checked in on us every few minutes to make sure we were okay with water, toilets, or any other necessity we may have had. Overall 10/10 experience and 10/10 guide. Thank you Maggie!

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.
