Itinerary

  • Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang)

    In the morning, your professional guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby, and then a comfortable and capacious chauffeur-driven minivan will transfer you to Tiananmen Square. Follow your guide to take a morning walk around this city square, and you can shoot distant view photos of the brilliant landmark buildings such as the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao.

    30 minutes

  • Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Walk through the Gate of Heavenly Peace with the great Chairman Mao's portrait on it; you come to this morning's highlight - the 600-year-old Forbidden City - the largest and the most intact imperial palace complex of the Ming and Qing Courts (1368 - 1911 AD). The majestic Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms! Which are the most essential and interesting parts? The veteran itinerary designer carefully selects the top 10 palaces for you, including major ones on the traditional central axis, and some special chambers on the east and west wings. Note: Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, this tour designer carefully choose the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square & the Forbidden City if your travel date happens to meet Monday. Summer Palace is the largest and best preserved royal garden in the world. It is a fantastic resort for travelers to admire the peaceful landscapes and magnificent architecture.

    3 hours

  • Mutianyu Great Wall

    After 1.5 hours driving, you will arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall, which is the best preserved and most popular section among all in Beijing. The itinerary designer smartly choose afternoon to visit the Wall to avoid the crowds, and you’ll have at least 2.5 hours to visit the wall and take some nice photos.

    3 hours

  • Back Lakes (Hou Hai) (Pass By)

    Finally, your tour guide will accompany you to the Houhai Lake Area and Yandaixiejie Hutong, which is a typical representative of old Beijing. Home to various specialty bars, cafes and restaurants, it is an ideal place to discover the unique charms of the old alleyways, enjoy the amazing scenery of the Houhai Lake, try the authentic local food and snacks, or just spend time there to experience the vibrant nightlife of Beijing. If you like, you can explore it leisurely by yourselves and return to the hotel by taxi. If you are not interested in visiting the Hutong area, your guide will escort you back to the hotel after dropping off the other travelers there. Hope you have enjoyed this day trip with us!

Additional Info

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Specialized infant seats are available
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Important note: Entrance tickets of the Forbidden City are usually released online 7 days in advance and could be easily sold out. Kindly advise you to book the tour 8 days before since the ticket purchase is based on the real name policy.
  • We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. For those who do not mention "No Shopping", usually they have shopping stops. Even you don't see shopping related words in their itineraries, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to ask the operator about this. By taking a shopping tour, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and you might be pressured to purchase overpriced items. The so-called tea ceremony is also a trap with commissions. So, to thoroughly enjoy the trip, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops.
  • The itinerary schedule or sightseeing order may be adjusted according to the traffic on the tour day.
  • We offer free pick-up within the forth ring road of the Beijing city. To ensure the morning pick-up going smoothly, we suggest you choose centrally located downtown hotels. If your hotel is beyond our free pick-up range, you may need to get to a meeting point or pay extra for the pick-up. Your travel consultant is ready to help.
  • Group Size: About 9 people. There are chances that 10% of the tour groups will exceed 9 people but we will make proper arrangements.
  • Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, this tour designer carefully choose the morning visit to the Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square & the Forbidden City if your travel date happens to meet Monday.
  • Departures are guaranteed with even two persons. A private tour will be offered exclusively for you if you have 8 people or more.
  • Please carry your valid passport on the day of travel.
  • Please wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • This supplier also offers 2-day mini group tour and multi-day tours. Please search the supplier's name to check its tour list.

well organised, great guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Excellent tour to hit the big attractions in one day. Exactly what I was looking for. Very convenient hotel pickup and drop off. Our tour guide Helen was fantastic, she was very accommodating to everyone’s needs and very knowledgeable. She really made the day very easy and enjoyable.

Best day in Beijing

Published on Mar, 2025

Helen was an absolutely amazing tour guide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything we saw. She took us to Tiananmen Square, through the entire Forbidden City, and finally a trip to the Great Wall of China. She had so many interesting facts and useful tips. I would 100% recommend everyone go on this tour!

Great trip!

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide was Bruce, he was very helpful and friendly! The tour was informative and the company took care of everything.

Memorable Great Wall Experience

Published on Mar, 2025

I had an amazing experience visiting Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China, thanks to our fantastic guide! He was incredibly friendly, on time, and made the whole experience seamless. Coordination was easy, and he provided insightful information about the history and significance of the wall. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great, stress-free tour!

Exceeded my expectation- in every way-thank you Helen

Published on Mar, 2025

This is the first time in my travels that the reality exceeded my expectations- a truly wonderful day and I’d wholly recommend the tour. Helen our guide was 11/10 . Diplomatic, rich with history and facts - not engrained with political dogma and got the balance right. The tour itself was well organised with Helen going the extra mile - if obstacles presented themselves she sorted with effortless efficiency- small things that helped - when she got to the drop off point - end of day- she booked taxis for guests onward journeys The tour itself was perfect - the forbidden palace has one fault - the CCP has not bequeathed it to me - I’d be a perfect 26th emperor ! The Great Wall must be seen and walked - I don’t care if it was build last week or last millennia- it’s power and stature is awesome- beyond compare Full marks to this form and the guide - I did not feel like a herded sheep like one can do on these trips - the guide’s English impeccable and the history so rich. Gracious thanks - I’ll be back with my family
