Top Beijing Bus Tours

It was a great experience! Our guides were very knowledgeable, especially the guide who walked with us up to the Great Wall, which we added as an extra. However, the time was a little limited if you want to explore both sides. We initially chose the west side, but at the last minute decided to do both. A huge thank you to Jilly, who was incredibly helpful and guided us by phone through the process of getting tickets for the east side. If you’re planning to do both sides, I highly recommend taking the earlier 8:00 a.m. tour so you have enough time. The scenery was absolutely amazing, and overall, we had a wonderful experience!

Haitao was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide. My favorite part of the tour was the historical anecdotes that contextualized the food we ate at each stop. Haitao did a fabulous job curating a vibe within our group, and got people comfortable socializing with each other fast. The food was delicious, all meeting instructions were very clear and easy. Definitely recommend for international visitors to Beijing!

We booked this tour as it came with a private driver. Our driver was absolutely exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we were at ease, comfortable and did not get lost. He accompanied us on the shuttle bus and even stood in the queue with us until we got on the cable car. Would most definitely recommend this tour.. I am terrified of heights but going up to the Great Wall in the open top cable car and tobogganing back down was absolutely amazing. Loved every minute of it. Would most definitely recommend.

Our driver, Marvin, was very helpful and friendly. He picked us up on time and took us close to the chairlift that goes up to the wall. The trip was comfortable and went smoothly. The wall is amazing, of course … and more of a physical challenge to navigate than I was expecting. Those stairs to the corner tower are steep! A great experience

We had a private family tour Lucy who was an amazing tour guide! She and our driver Yang were right on time for the pick-up at the hotel. Lucy had an in-depth knowledge of the historical and cultural aspects of the tour, and she explained everything in very easy-to-understand english. We were there on a monday during the school holidays (the busiest day of the week), but she managed to make the experience fun and informative. The car ride was very comfortable on a very hot day. Highly recommend both Lucy and Yang.

We had a great experience with Kevin as our tour guide! The tour left promptly on time from the station, and the bus was comfortable. Kevin spoke English very well and provided useful information on the history of the Great Wall and tips for making the most of the experience. He also assisted us in purchasing tickets for the cable cars and toboggan rides, and was very friendly and helpful in his manner. The tour was an amazing experience of a must-see wonder of the world, made all the simpler with this tour group. We would definitely recommend to any other visitors!

Excellent tour by Lee and our driver, taking us to Tianamen Square, the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven. We started early at 7am with a hotel pick up and the mini van was comfortable. Tour included lunch at the Olympic Village and was a delicious Chinese buffet. We also made additional stops at a pearl shop to learn about the process of pearl making in China, had a consultation with a Chinese medicine doctor and my favourite was a Chinese tea ceremony with the opportunity to buy tea and teapots. Totally recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see as much as possible in one day. It never felt rushed and we saw everything we wanted to. We ended up getting dropped off near Dashilan commercial street at the end of the tour and wove our way through the little streets which was a perfect way to end our day in Beijing!

‘Rocky’ was our guide and we could not have had a more knowledgeable, polite, and supportive person. This was the best excursion of our entire China experience that we had several in different cities. The Forbidden City and Great Wall are true Wonders of the World and all the history and info he provided made them even more ‘true to life’ and amazing as we actually viewed and experienced them. We could only see Tiananmen Square and not enter it because it was closed for dignitaries that were visiting. This was Ok as we could better see the buildings and immense ground area it covered. As far as the Forbidden City and Great Wall goes, Rocky was very well organized, kept the participants in the group, and was very patient while answering questions and waiting on some of the slower ones. The Great Wall is simply almost indescribable. One must actually see its immense size and the type terrain it is built on to begin to appreciate it and the effort it took to build. Nothing else on earth comes close to its immense size and length. The tour itself was great in all aspects. The lunch provided a good variety of tasty food. I should note that my husband experienced a pinched nerve in his back while in the Forbidden City and he could not have made it through without Rocky and others physically helping at times. He was so kind and understanding and I can not express how much we appreciated his effort and concern.
