Tiananmen Square is not only a top tourist attraction but also a venue for major political events. In the event of closure due to such activities, the square visit will be skipped. As admission to Tiananmen Square is free of charge, no refund will be issued for this arrangement.

During peak travel seasons, the waiting time for security checks to enter Tiananmen Square can range from 1 to 3 hours. Given that our core itinerary focuses on the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, we will skip the square visit to avoid delays if long security queues are encountered. Since the square has no entrance fee, no refund applies for this adjustment.

We require the passport name and number of every participant. The passport provided must be the one you carry on the tour day, as it is mandatory for booking tickets to scenic spots.

Round-trip transfers are included for hotels located within Beijing's 3rd Ring Road. For guests staying outside this area, you may either make your own way to the designated meeting point or opt for a paid pick-up service arranged by our driver.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

    My wife and I traveled from San Jose California to Beijing for vacation to tour Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden city and the Great Wall of China. Lucy picked us up from the Hotel 15 minutes early. She is very friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions about different sites on the way to our tour. Not only is she knowledgeable but, very enthusiastic and proud of her country. She provided lunch on the way to the Great Wall. The buffet setting was extremely nice with a good variety of food. Lucy, thank you once again for such an eventful day. Andre

    The tour was amazing, especially that I was the only one who booked this tour, so they made it a private tour. The guide was wonderful! The Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City was quite crowded for me, but they took me that part of the Great Wall where I could enjoy the view and there were only a few people around. Thank you!
