What an epic day we had exploring Beijing! My friend and I are huge fans of hiking, so when we stumbled upon this itinerary that included Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Mutianyu Great Wall, and the Bird’s Nest, we just had to jump on it. It was the perfect mix of urban sights and some good old nature, and it did not disappoint!

We kicked off the day in a super comfy ride. Honestly, the vehicle was spacious and made the trips between sites so much easier. After days of being on the move, we loved being able to sit back and enjoy the views of the city as we drove around.

First stop: Tiananmen Square. Wow, what a place! Standing there, surrounded by all that history, gave us chills. We strolled around, took loads of photos, and just soaked it all in. Our guide, Alice, was awesome—she shared so many cool stories and facts about what went down there. She really made everything come alive!

Then, we moved on to the Forbidden City. Walking through those massive gates felt like stepping back in time. The place is just stunning! The architecture is incredible, and Alice helped us spot details we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. We loved wandering through the courtyards at our own pace; it really let us dive into the history of it all.

Now, the highlight of the day—Mutianyu Great Wall! Being able to hike along this iconic structure was beyond thrilling. Standing up there, with mountains stretching as far as the eye could see, was something we’ll never forget. Alice was right there with us, sharing fun facts about the Wall and keeping us motivated as we climbed higher.

After all that hiking, we definitely worked up an appetite. We treated ourselves to some delicious Peking duck, and it did not disappoint! The crispy skin and tender meat were absolutely divine. We also couldn’t resist trying tanghulu (candied hawthorn on a stick)—it was a sweet and tangy treat that hit the spot!

To top it all off, we finished at the Bird’s Nest. It was such a cool way to wrap up the day! The design is super modern and eye-catching, especially with the sun setting behind it. Alice filled us in on the Olympics and all the events held there—it was great to see how this incredible mix of old and new defines Beijing.

All in all, this day was everything we dreamed of and then some. The combination of hiking, stunning sights, and Alice’s expertise made it all come together perfectly. If you love getting out and walking while discovering a new city, you’ve got to check out this tour. It was a day filled with breathtaking views, fascinating history, and amazing memories with my friend!

I had a free day during my business trip in Beijing, so I decided to make the most of it with a tour. Our guide, Nancy, was exceptional—her professionalism and extensive knowledge made the day truly special. We started at Tiananmen Square, where Nancy's insightful commentary on its historical significance added depth to our visit. Moving on to the Forbidden City, her explanations about the palace’s intricate architecture and history were both engaging and informative.

After a delicious lunch, we explored the Mutianyu Great Wall. Nancy’s tips on the best spots for photos and her detailed explanations about its history enhanced the experience. Our driver also played a key role, ensuring we traveled comfortably and efficiently between sites. We wrapped up at the Bird’s Nest, and Nancy’s insights into its design and significance rounded off the tour perfectly. With such a knowledgeable guide and smooth transportation, this day was a fantastic blend of historical exploration and modern marvels. Highly recommended!

Just wrapped up a full-day tour of Beijing and had to share how fantastic it was. Our guide was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the city.
We were picked up right on time from our hotel, and the day kicked off smoothly. Our guide had a knack for making the history come alive with interesting stories and little-known facts about the places we visited, like the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. It felt like we were getting an insider’s view of Beijing that you just wouldn’t get from a guidebook.

Lunch was a highlight—our guide took us to a local spot where the locals eat. It was delicious and a great way to taste authentic Beijing dishes, away from the usual tourist traps.
The convenience of having everything taken care of, from pickup to drop-off, made the day stress-free. Our guide was super attentive, and their enthusiasm for Beijing was infectious. They answered all our questions, and their tips and recommendations really made the day special.
If you’re heading to Beijing and want a tour that’s informative, enjoyable, and well-organized, this is the way to go. The personal touch and in-depth knowledge of our guide made this day truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Our weekend in Beijing was truly unforgettable thanks to the excellent service from Beijing Private Tour. Shirley, our knowledgeable guide, made our first visit to Beijing a breeze with her fluent English and insightful commentary. Starting from our hotel pickup, we visited the iconic sights like the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Mutianyu Great Wall, savoring every moment at each spot. Shirley even helped us secure tickets to the Liyuan opera show after our tour, adding to the experience. Traveling via high-speed train from Shanghai was seamless and quick, making the journey both efficient and enjoyable. For anyone planning a Beijing trip from Shanghai, we highly recommend the convenience of high-speed trains.

This All-Inclusive Day Tour was absolutely the best choice for exploring Beijing! My parents and I had an incredible experience with Shirley as our guide and Mr. Xu as our attentive driver. Shirley's deep knowledge and perfect English made visiting the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square enriching and enjoyable. Mr. Xu ensured our comfort with cold water and efficient AC throughout the hot day. The tour was seamlessly flexible, accommodating my elderly parents' pace and preferences, like opting for a scenic boat ride at the Summer Palace instead of the Temple of Heaven. Exploring the old part of Beijing by rickshaw was a charming highlight. Booking was effortless, with prompt responses and detailed tour information provided. If I have the chance, I'd eagerly book this tour again for my husband and children. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing!
