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

The first stop is famous Tiananmen Square, the next the adjoining Forbidden City, a home to 24 emperors in its time, built to impress.
The Temple of Heaven is lesser known, but just as imposing. The surrounding park is full of people practicing martial arts and Chinese dance, among other things. On the way you have a chance to see a glimpse of the Chinese traditional medicine culture.
After Chinese lunch in a local restaurant, relax in the peaceful Summer Palace, an ancient imperial garden used by emperors to escape the heat of summer.
The Forbidden CityAfter admiring the ancient Ming Tombs and lunch, climb up to the iconic Badaling Great Wall or get the optional cable car, giving you more time to admire the scenery.
On the way back pass the Olympic Green, and admire from afar the "Bird's Nest" and "the Water Cube".
