Excellent experience in Beijing !
We spent 2 days with Erica, our fabulous tour guide. We visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City as well as the Great Wall. The driver was excellent as well, very clean and comfortable van. Erica was extremely knowledgeable and was very accommodating to our schedule and preferences. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting China!

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!

Visite de la cité interdite
Very interesting, with an experimented guide. Difficult to do it in August with a heavy sun. No privileged access to avoid the crowd.

Great Wall Tour
The tour was fantastic, the wall was absolutely incredible, as was the Forbidden City and Tiananmen square.
Our Driver Bruce knew exactly how to sort our day and even added extra time. He made our day flow so well with such a relaxed demeanour so we never felt rushed.

Good quality
It was a very good tour. Good guide and a good and diverse group. Went for about 4 hours including about 0.5-1 hr in a queue, but that couldn't be helped. Bucket list ticked. 👌

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!

Forbidden City + Great Wall
Maggie was a great guide. She explained everything very well and made sure we knew where to go at all times. Navigating both the Forbidden City and the Great Wall would have been difficult without her!

Private driver to Great Wall
Our private driver to the Great Wall was outstanding. He made sure we arrived early, well ahead of the crowds, which made the entire experience much more enjoyable. He was punctual, professional, and took great care of us throughout the day. His English was excellent, making communication easy and helping us feel comfortable from start to finish. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and attentive driver for a Great Wall visit.

Absolutely worthwhile experience
Anson was a great tour guide! My friend and I made a slight mistake when trying to meet the group but by perfect chance we were able to find them! We are super thankful for everyone’s patience. The tour is 110% worth it - like Anson said “without me these are just buildings, I give the buildings life!” It’s so true - and this is coming from someone who likes to do things on their own!

Wonderful day in Beijing
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Sunny was great. She took us to all the places on the tour and then some. She was very knowledgeable and attentive. Loved the lunch. It was the best we had in China so far. The tea ceremony was fun and the acrobatic show was spectacular. We really enjoyed the day. Thank to our driver Mr Sun. He was very good at taking us everywhere and keeping us on time.

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.
