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!

Unforgettable experience with Lucy!! Highly recommend this tour if you want to maximize your time in Beijing!
Lucy was our guide for the day. She was AMAZING, spoke perfect English, made sure we had no trouble getting into all the attractions and even went out of her way to make sure I had food that was celiac safe. I highly recommend any of her tours, we were so lucky. Also had such a great experience learning about all the history. Lucy has amazing knowledge and we learnt so much. Highly recommend. We only had one day in Beijing I highly recommend this tour!!

Thank you tony!
Great experience with our guide Tony who could not be more knowledgeable about the forbidden city. Always available to answer any question you may have. I recommend adding the temple of heaven option at the end.

Wonderful Tour of the Forbidden City Aurora
I enjoyed a wonderful tour through the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven with my guide Aurora. Her English was excellent and she really knew how to avoid the lines and get us right to the best photography spots.

Maggie, our tour guide,...
Maggie, our tour guide, was amazing. We crisscrossed the entire city, hitting all of the major cultural sights! A great stop for a private tea ceremony followed by a delicious lunch was perfect! We didn’t need to lift a finger. We were catered to all day!

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.
