The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays. For Monday departures, we’ll visit the Summer Palace and the Mutianyu Great Wall instead.
The Forbidden City requires a real-name reservation 7 days in advance and tickets are easily sold out. We highly recommend booking your tour as early as possible; otherwise, international travelers may need to line up to buy tickets on site.
Please provide your accurate passport information for real-name ticket bookings, and make sure to carry the same valid ID on the tour day; otherwise, the scenic area will deny entry.

Your expert guide will help you breeze through security checks at Tiananmen Square. Leave your bag in the car and carry only your passport and bottled water to speed up the progress.
Great Wall Toboggan: For safety, it is not available for guests over 60, pregnant women, and children under 3. Children aged 3 to 10 may ride when accompanied by an adult. Don’t worry if the toboggan isn’t for you – the round-trip cable car or chairlift is suitable for everyone.

5.00We had an incredible time seeing the great wall, forbidden city and other attractions. It was a long tour, over 12 hours from pick up to drop off but it never felt tedious or boring. Murphy was our guide and was awesome! I'd highly recommend it for someone wanting a full day experience.
Fantastic

5.00This was such a fun tour! Our tour guide was Helen and she did a great job leading us and giving us the history of each landmark. To get into Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City, there were a lot of security checks, and Helen made the process simple and easy to understand. We had a buffet lunch before going to the Great Wall.
Do it!

5.00Very nice experiance: well organized: already before it startet, our guide Rocky got in touch by WhatsApp regarding the pickup, also, despite my hotel was not on the list, they picked me up there. Rocky guided us well and brought life to the places we visited. While there were options to buy Jade-Souvenirs at the lunch break and tea at the place of the tea ceremony, it did not feel like one had to buz anything. In Beijing we were lucky with the weather. At the great wall, it was raining heavily. However, ignoring the rain helped to enjoy the views with much less people around and also gave the wall some mystic appearance. I enjoyed the trip and can strongly recommend it - and if you are lucky, you get Rocky as a guide!
Great expertise and full history while touring with Rocky!
