What are people saying about Beijing

Stephanie_H, Nov 2026

Excellent Private Tour with Linda

We had a fantastic time with Linda from Lily’s Tour Company through Viator! She speaks very understandable English and is very pleasant and kind. She helped us shop for a nice Jade bracelet for a nice price as well. She confirmed 24 hours prior, and picked us up on time. The car and driver were nice as well. She took some great photos for us on the Great Wall. She wanted us to have the best experience, which we did. We would certainly book again with Linda.

We had a really good time...

We had a really good time exploring the forbidden city. It's a lot of walking but we made a few stops to here and there to regain some energy. Our tour guide was super cute and friendly and explained everything in pretty good English. Now I just wish to find someone who's caring as much about me as our guide about the whereabouts of baby family. Thank you very much!

Beijing Private Tour: 2 Days Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall VIP Tour

ChrisS, Nov 2026

Fantastic two days in Beijing and excellent guide !

I had a brilliant two days with my local guide Bruce and the driver Jin. Bruce made sure the trip was tailored to my needs and wishes - we climbed every hill we could find as I like heights. The food was delicious and recommended. Bruce was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Beijing and China. He helped me with some travel tips and also I was very interested to learn more about Empress Dowager Cixi. I learnt a great deal - the forbidden city was built in 1420! This trip comes highly recommended.

Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace Day Tour ‑ Cableway included

Kaye_H, Nov 2026

Very memorable day

This was an amazing day. Jerry was our tour guide for this private tour. He picked us up promptly and had driver and very nice vehicle. The driver was exceptional as well. Jerry took us to the Summer Palace first and then to the wall. Jerry explained the history to the Summer Palace and we did not feel rushed as we went through it. Next we went to the wall and took the chair lift up to tower 6. Again, we had all the time we needed and Jerry provided an outstanding history lesson. This was a long day, and being Sunday, it was very crowded, but a wonderful day.

This was a...

This was a well-structured and enjoyable tour. The two-hour itinerary primarily covered the outer areas of the Forbidden City, providing a good overview of its history and architecture. However, if you're interested in learning more about the inner palace complex and the Emperor's private living quarters, a longer tour would be a better option.

What an incredible experience visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China! The sights were absolutely amazing, but what truly made this tour unforgettable was our fantastic guide, Lucy! Lucy was warm, friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her English was excellent, and she brought China’s rich history and culture to life with fascinating insights, wonderful stories, and a great sense of humor.

Well worth it for a bucket list experience

We did a last minute booking and our experience was excellent! Our tour guide Henry was superb. Knowledgeable and friendly. He even suggested an earlier start than we had planned to help with traffic congestion. Picked and dropped us off at our hotel, we even did a quick stop by a tea house on the way back. He also recommended a couple of local restaurants to try out. Highly recommended!

This is an action-packed tour that covers many great highlights in the Beijing area. We were fortunate enough to have Helen as our guide. She is simply amazing and honestly the best guide we've ever had. She contacted us the night before to make sure we knew about the pick-up time; she is very informative and very friendly. She also has the perfect touch to keep her group organized and on track. We definitely recommend taking this tour if you are ever in Beijing. It is well worth it!

Jack was great, highly recommend!

This was my mom’s and my first time to the Great Wall and Beijing in general. Jack the driver was awesome. He was prompt in pick up and met us in the hotel lobby, explained a bit about the history of the Great Wall, and helped us get cable car tickets. He was a great driver and it was so easy to coordinate when we were done walking the Wall!

Fantastic tour and super guide.

Helen was fantastic. Excellent guide because she gave exhaustive explanations to all members of the group without ever rambling, and she managed to get us through the visits without long lines. The tour is highly recommended and if Helen is there, it is definitely the best one you could find.
