Top Beijing Private Sightseeing Tours

Everything was on time and well organised. The guide, Jacky was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Instructions were clear and the Jinshanling section hike was amazing! Beautiful and also challenging, but not too tough. The sunset tour was perfect.

Today’s tour was magnificent, much because our tour guide Angie was amazing. She has such a great personality, has such knowledge about China as a whole, and also takes excellent pictures throughout the day. Seeing and walking The Great Wall of China still feels like a dream but having such a great guide only made it better. Angie’s recommendation to leave at 6:30am from downtown Beijing was spot on and we beat the herds to the entrance and had the opportunity to take amazing pictures and video with very few people. Also doing the toboggan down was beyond fun and it is well worth the wait. I also have to thank Mr. B for his wonderful and safe driving throughout our day. I can’t recommend this tour enough for anyone looking for a wonderful private tour of the Great Wall. Book it now and don’t miss out.

Great tour, Lisa was an excellent guide with lots of great stories to tell and also very understanding of our requests. The tour was perfectly timed and communication was excellent from the start. We went though the side entrance which also saved time.

We had an incredible time! It was definitely one of the best experiences of our trip to China. Our guide, Veronica, was spectacular. Super friendly, she knows a lot about the history of China and looked after us at all times, taking care of every detail so that we would enjoy it to the fullest. The places they took us to eat were delicious, everything perfectly organized and they always welcomed us with great kindness. And what can we say about our driver! Always punctual, attentive and ready to pick us up at every place. We never had to worry about anything. Truly, an incredible experience from beginning to end. We loved getting to know Beijing this way and we would definitely hire a tour like this again, you make the most of your time, you get to know the city with super personalized service… 1000% recommended!

This was an incredible day which started by visiting the Pandas eating their breakfast before heading to the Great Wall. Winnie was an amazing guide creating a memorable experience for a solo traveller - she was so friendly it was like spending a day with a friend. She was full of knowledge and didn’t hesitate to answer questions and was able to explain the history in an engaging way. She was happy to accommodate my preferences throughout the day all with a smile on her face. Not to mention her great video and photography skills which now means I have the memories for ever. Thank you!

We tried so many delicious foods, both sweet and savory! Aurora was a fantastic guide, sharing lots of interesting information about Beijing’s food and culture. She was also great at tailoring the tour to our interests, and the walking was easy and enjoyable. A great way to experience Beijing’s food scene. Highly recommend!

Jenny from Catherine Lu Tours took us on a thorough private tour of the Forbidden City and Summer Palace. She spoke good English and knew everything. These are huge places and a bit exhausting actually but need to be done in a lifetime. The Summer Palace by a lake is very pleasant and might be worth a day by itself if you have the time.

I had an absolutely wonderful full-day private tour of Beijing with Padma and cannot recommend her highly enough! From the beginning, Padma was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and brought such positive energy to the entire day. My schedule changed at the last minute, and I really wanted to make sure I had enough time to experience the Great Wall. Padma immediately adapted, came up with several options, and helped me think through how to make the most of my limited time. Once we decided on a plan, her travel company was incredibly efficient in rebooking tickets and adjusting our itinerary to accommodate the places I most wanted to see. The professionalism of the company really showed throughout the day. At the Great Wall, having priority access made a huge difference and allowed me to spend my time actually experiencing this incredible place rather than waiting in long lines. Our driver was also courteous and friendly, and the car was comfortable and stocked with snacks and beverages—a small but very thoughtful touch after a long day of sightseeing. Most importantly, Padma is simply a wonderful person. She has such a kind heart and joyful spirit, and as a woman traveling on my own, I felt completely comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. Seeing the Forbidden City and walking on the Great Wall were experiences I had dreamed about, and Padma helped turn them into memories I will genuinely treasure for a lifetime. An absolute joy from beginning to end. I highly recommend!!
