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!

Amazing Tour Guide + Explanations
All I can really say is that Julia was a great and accommodating tour guide for the Forbidden City. She made sure you had your passport ready and she also had all our QR codes ready during the security checks to make entering Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square so much easier. Everywhere we went., Julia told us facts and explain so much of the history and importance of the relics/buildings in Forbidden City. If you are a history nerd, I really recommend having Julia as your tour guide here.

Great Tour!
This was such a fun tour! Our tour guide was Helen and she did a great job leading us and giving us the history of each landmark. To get into Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City, there were a lot of security checks, and Helen made the process simple and easy to understand. We had a buffet lunch before going to the Great Wall.

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.

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.

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.

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.
