Tour Style:
Five days, four nights in a city-centre Beijing hotel with a private English-speaking guide, your own car and a professional driver. This is the ‘beyond the surface’ version of Beijing — yes, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City (3,400-metre red wall, 980 buildings), Jingshan Park for the golden-roof panorama, the Temple of Heaven and the Mutianyu Great Wall are all in, but the tour also threads in a dawn hutong morning market, a face-painting workshop with a working Peking Opera artist, the 798 Art District’s galleries and cafés, an evening at Qianmen pedestrian street, and a slow look at the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube at the old Olympic Park. Lunch isn’t included on purpose — your guide takes you to genuine local kitchens each day and you pay for what you eat. Drop-off on Day 5 at your Beijing hotel, station or airport.

The five day package covered a lot, Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and a hutong day. Our guide Chen was knowledgeable and warm. Two things made it a 4 instead of a 5. On day three the schedule was tight and we felt a bit rushed between sites, though Chen apologized and made the last hour looser. Also one of the group lunches was a big tourist hall, bland food, though every other meal was local and good. The driver was safe and the car clean the whole time. Would still recommend, just ask to slow down day three.

This tour covered everything - Forbidden City, Great Wall (both Mutianyu and Badaling), Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, hutongs, 798 Art District, and even a day trip to Tianjin. Guide David was a historian at heart and made each site come alive with stories. He also took us to a local breakfast spot on day 3 - douzhir (fermented bean drink) and jianbing from a street vendor. Adventurous and delicious. Driver Mr. Chen was invisible but always there when needed. Car was clean and he navigated Beijing traffic like a pro.

We came to Beijing as a family from France and didn’t quite know what to expect, but this trip turned out to be such a great experience. What really stood out was how patient and helpful the planning process was—there were quite a few back-and-forth emails, and every time we had questions or wanted to tweak something, we got quick and thoughtful replies. By the time we arrived, everything felt perfectly arranged for us. During the trip, our guide made a big difference—very easygoing, full of stories, and attentive without being overwhelming. The driver was always right there when we needed him, which made the whole journey feel seamless. One moment that really stayed with us was standing on the Great Wall—it was just breathtaking and surprisingly peaceful. Also, having restaurant suggestions and bookings handled for us saved a lot of hassle. Overall, it didn’t feel like a typical tour, more like a well-organized trip made just for us. We’d happily book with them again.

Attractions(Cities):Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum

Tour Style:A long but focused day trip to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. Your private English-speaking guide and car meet you at your Xi’an hotel, train station or airport (arrive from Beijing by G-series high-speed rail — 4.5–6 hours, or an early flight if you prefer). Lintong, 35 km east of Xi’an, holds roughly 8,000 life-size clay soldiers, horses and chariots buried with the first emperor Qin Shi Huang around 210 BC and rediscovered by farmers digging a well in 1974 (UNESCO-listed). You’ll cover Pit 1, Pit 2, Pit 3 and the bronze-chariot museum at a proper pace, break for lunch at a local noodle kitchen on your own bill, and finish back at your Xi’an pickup point or the station for the evening train. Total door to door: 10+ hours.

Tour Style:Six days, five nights in a city-centre Beijing four-star, with a private English-speaking guide, your own air-conditioned car and a professional driver for the whole trip. The core covers Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City (3,400-metre red wall, 980 buildings), Jingshan Park for the golden-roof panorama, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, a hutong morning market, Nanluoguxiang, the 798 Art District and a slow afternoon at Beijing Zoo — including the Giant Panda House.

Lunch isn’t included on purpose — your guide takes you to genuine local kitchens each day and you pay for what you eat. Pick-up and drop-off at your Beijing hotel, station or airport.
