Tour of Beijing
Tom from China tours guided us for a hike on the Jiansanling section of The Great Wall and then a one day tour of Beijing including Forbidden City Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace. He was very friendly and accommodating from the begin. He answered all of our questions about Chinese history and culture and gave great explanations of the history of all the monuments we visited. The restaurants he chose and dishes he recommended were very tasty on both days. I would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for an English language tour in Beijing and particularly for people interested in history. more

After you retrieve your luggage and walk through the customs, you will easily spot your private guide waiting for your arrival. A professionally-chauffeured car will directly take you to your hotel. You guide will help you check in.
Your Beijing discovery begins with the most popular attractions, the Temple of Heaven is your first destination. It was initially built for the emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the most high God in heaven for a good harvest. The outer area is a large park for morning exercise and entertainment, hence a good place for you to absorb local life and the rich culture that fills the garden area.
The Great Wall at Mutianyu is about a 2-hour drive from the Temple of Heaven. After visiting to the Temple of Heaven, you will be driven to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. This section is the best section ranked top by our customers and on Trip Advisor. Lunch is at a Chinese restaurant near the Great Wall, serving traditional home dishes.
Your morning discovery will cover the Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City. Stroll around the world's largest city square (it has a capacity of 1,000,000 people) where Chairman Mao Zedong announced the foundation of the new People's Republic of China in 1949.
Walking across the Jinshui Bridge ('Golden Water Bridge') in the north, you will enter the world's largest and best-preserved imperial palaces - the Forbidden City. Built in 1420 and housed 24 emperors in the Ming and the Qing dynasties, the profound history of this palace leaves a lot of mysterious anecdotes. Feel free to ask your private guide about the symbolism, it is everywhere.
