Lastly stop by the bustling Houhai Lake and Tobacco Pipe Lane (Yandai Xiejie) Hutong at night.

· No shopping detours, no factory, no tea ceremony and no shopping site restaurant, which at least save you two hours today for a pure sightseeing experience. That's the reason why you can have more time at the attraction sites. This tour are running for guests' interests rather than the shopping commission.

· Professional English-speaking guide offers in-depth commentary and photography inspirations.

Additional Info

Specialized infant seats are available

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

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 at least 8 days before. Otherwise, international travelers will need to line up at the entrance to buy tickets.

We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. Sharpen your vigilance to avoid those tours with tourist traps including jade factory or tea ceremony that waste your sightseeing time.

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. And make sure to carry the same identification when travelling; otherwise, you will 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 will make proper arrangements.

Departures are guaranteed with two persons in Mar to Nov and three persons in Dec to Feb.

Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, we’ll arrange Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City.

Cancellation Policy

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

    Fantastic day out. The tour guide Rocky really knew his stuff and could answer all questions. He was able to navigate us around the massive crowds very well as it was the national holiday week when we went. Rocky also took a lot of excellent pictures, and even downloaded them to our phones. He's a great guide who's English is impeccable. The tour was very long but worth every minute.

    Helen is a superb tour guide. She knows how to avoid long queue in tiananmen & forbidden city. She brought us to less crowded area during the tour so we can take a good picture. All in all it's good experience to have small group tour with Helen.
