Additional Info

Tickets to the Forbidden City require a real-name reservation 7 days in advance and are easily sold out, so you are advised to book the tour as early as possible. Otherwise, international travelers will need to line up at the entrance to buy tickets.
We offer free pick-up within the Third Ring Road of Beijing, beyond which there will be an extra charge, so we suggest you book centrally located downtown hotels. Please get ready at the hotel lobby at least 5 minutes in advance of the pick-up time confirmed with you a day before. No-show is non-refundable.
Please provide the correct passport information for booking the real-name tickets. Make sure to carry the same identification when travelling; otherwise, you’ll be refused entry by the scenic areas.
Group Size: About 12 people. There are chances that 10% of the tour groups will exceed 12 people but we’ll make proper arrangements.
Departures are guaranteed with two persons from Mar to Nov and three persons from Dec to Feb.
Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, we’ll arrange Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City.
Visitors from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan must book at least 7 days in advance, and the name to reserve their tickets online should be in Chinese characters.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

5.00Hello, I had two day trip: one day with Rocky other day with Murphy. Both of the tour guides are outstanding. Rocky not only was making us tour but also was taking professional pictures. I felt really taken care of by both of the guides.
Great your thanks to our guide, Murphy Leung.

5.00Great to have an organised trip with guide Murphy organising everything from start to finish. Queues managed superbly, our bus at the ready at each stop. Everything went smoothly with Murphy. One comment to make to the tour organisers is the visit to the stone place was a sales pitch that was unnecessary. Lunch was upstairs so perhaps a better option would have been to have lunch and to let people know there was a gem/stone shop downstairs if anyone wanted to visit. Apart from that an organised day to see the main sights in Beijing.

5.00It was an absolute pleasure to experience Beijing with Tour Guide Murphy. His expertise and passion truly brought the Forbidden City and the Great Wall to life. Murphy’s insightful commentary provided a deep understanding of the historical and cultural significance of these iconic landmarks, making the visits incredibly enriching. Beyond the main attractions, the tea tasting experience he arranged was a delightful immersion into local culture, offering a moment of tranquility and a taste of authentic Chinese traditions. Murphy’s professionalism, engaging storytelling, and thoughtful attention to detail made this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend Tour Guide Murphy for anyone looking for an exceptional and memorable journey through Beijing.
