Excellent all inclusive tour of Beijing and the sights! Even though the Forbidden City was closed on Mondays, we were still able to get amazing views from the Jingshan Park. Our guide, Maggie, was especially organized, knowledgeable, and kind. Even though the day was long, everything was clear and went off without a hitch. Obviously, the Great Wall was the biggest highlight. :) We would highly recommend this tour!

It was a great tour. Our guide Nancy was super kind, knowledgable, and helpful throughout the trip. She helped my mom who is 76 years old a great deal in climbing up the Great Wall. Our driver, Mr. Yang, our driver, was also very professional and drove nicely. Overall, a very fun and memorable experience for my 1st time in Beijing. Highly recommended trip!

Itinerary

Meet your guide at your hotel or at Grand Hotel (depending on what option you book) and head to Tiananmen Square, one of the largest city squares in the world.

On Chang'an Street, see the Great Hall of the People (Renmin Dahuitang) and the National Museum of China (formerly the National Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution), and take a look at Chairman Mao's Mausoleum (aka Chairman Mao Memorial Hall) in the middle of the square. From the gate, walk to the Forbidden City, the UNESCO World Heritage–listed former Chinese imperial palace. A total of 24 emperors lived and ruled from here, starting with the Ming dynasty and ending with the Qing. If you come on Monday, when the Forbidden City is closed, Jingshan Hill instead.

Then it's time for lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your day tour to the Great Wall at Mutianyu, a typically less-crowded section of the Great Wall of China. After the drive, you have around two hours here to hike. Choose the round-trip cable car option or ride the chairlift up and then ride the toboggan down to save time and energy.

Your tour then ends with return transportation to your departure point.

Lucy was a great host. Very knowledgeable, kept the tour moving and allowed us to cover so much in one day. Excellent.

10/10 experience in Beijing

Jerry_S, Sep 2026
We had an amazing adventure with our tour guide: Maggie. She organized the trip very well and everyone had a memorable experience. We participated in a lot of activities and she allowed us time to experience each place without feeling rushed which was very kind and added to the experience. A must do activity if you are in Beijing and want to experience the must see places while here. 10/10 experience!!

Antonia_M, Sep 2026
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jerry! He was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful throughout the day. He made everything easy and enjoyable, and was especially great with our 6-year-old. Jerry was very attentive to what we needed, gave us lots of interesting information about the sights and history, and made sure we were comfortable and never felt rushed. He also helped us navigate everything smoothly, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. We absolutely loved the tour and would highly recommend it, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Jerry as your guide. Thank you, Jerry, for making our day so memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Promptly met with Wendy,...

Danielle_Y, Sep 2026
Promptly met with Wendy, our tour guide, in our hotel lobby. Waited for the driver with her for a couple minutes and then picked up the other guests. Tianmen Square and Forbidden City were great to walk around, despite the heat, and Wendy did a great job describing significant history. The lunch buffet before the Great Wall was mid and had several other tour groups present. Also, lunch was preceded by a presentation on jade and subsequent sales pitches. The real highlight was the Great Wall. Our group was quickly funneled through and a meeting point/time set prior to having independent time for about 2 hours. My friend and I opted for the chair swing up and down (vs cable car/gondola up and slide down). The slide had about a 1 hr waiting time. Optional tea ceremony (and sales pitch) on the way down. There are also various vendors lining the way up to the Great Wall so great time to haggle for souvenirs before heading back home.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback of your tour with Wendy. We’re happy to know that you were met promptly at your hotel lobby and enjoyed the historical introductions of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City from Wendy. It is wonderful that the Great Wall became the highlight of your day and you had around two hours of free time to explore. We truly appreciate your honest comments regarding the lunch, waiting time for the slide and the shopping presentations. We will forward all your feedback to our team for continuous improvement. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for another wonderful tour in Beijing sometime in the future! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

This is a must do if you visit Beijing. The entire experience was above my expectations. Our tour guide Maggie and our driver were extraordinary. Even though I was traveling solo it felt like a friends trip since Maggie made sure than me and the rest of the people in the tour feel very comfortable. She even paid for a Didi to pick me up and take me to the meeting point since my hotel was a little further. The lunch was fantastic and the time we spent at the Great Wall was magical. I would highly recommend this tour even if you are traveling alone. I will never forget this beautiful experience.

Not only did we get to see some of the most significant places in the city but we also got to learn about the rich history of China including stories about customs and food!!

Maggie is amazing ! 10/10

saffron_d, Sep 2026
Maggie is a great tour guide, she has lots of knowledge about all the destinations we went too. Maggie was very attentive & made sure that we were happy the whole day. For the Great Wall Maggie let us to walk the Great Wall by ourselves while she waited in the tobbogan line for us so we didn’t have to wait in line for 2 hours. Before the Great Wall she took us to the buffet food restaurant and was very yummy, we also went to a tea house as well which was beautiful & had amazing tea. 10/10 experience with Maggie.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide

Keenon_H, Sep 2026
I can’t express enough how great this tour was! Lucy was amazing! The entrance to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City can be quite a long wait, but Lucy made things happen whenever she could to help us get through the queue. Once you’re in, it’s game on! She provided Bluetooth headphones so we could hear her clearly despite all the background noise, which was a huge help because the place is very busy. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared interesting information throughout each section. She also made sure no one was left behind whenever the group got separated, which happened a few times with the crowds. The lunch buffet before heading to the Great Wall was also a nice touch and really picked me up before all that walking and climbing! Lucy also made an effort to connect with everyone in the group at some point during the tour, which I thought was really cool and made the experience feel more personal. And finally, I was surprised to find out she even knew a little about American football! I told her my hometown and she knew the team. Great experience, great guide, and an amazing day overall. I’d highly recommend this tour and Lucy!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and heartfelt review! We cannot tell you how pleased we are to hear what a fantastic day you had with Lucy. We totally agree that entry to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City often involves lengthy waiting times, and we really appreciate that Lucy did everything she could to assist your group through the queues. The Bluetooth headphones were such a handy solution amid heavy crowds, letting you follow her commentary clearly even with lots of background noise. It is wonderful that she brought so much rich knowledge to every site, kept the group together when crowds caused people to separate, and checked on everyone so no one got left behind. The buffet lunch before heading to the Great Wall gave you good energy for all the walking and climbing, and we love that Lucy made time to connect personally with every member of the group. We were amused to read she even knows a little about American football — what a fun unexpected detail! We will share every word of your wonderful praise with Lucy. Thank you sincerely for travelling with us and for your strong recommendation. Wish you all the best for your future adventures, and hope we may welcome you back to Beijing one day.
