We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. If any itineraries don't mention No Shopping Stops, they MUST have shopping stops as factory of terracotta warriors or the tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words, in their spamming itineraries, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with the operators about the shopping stops. By joining a shopping tour, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and might be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called tea ceremony or the factory of terracotta warriors is the tourist trap. You have to spend an hour or more for travel agents to get the commission. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops.

We offer free pick-up within the fourth ring road of the Beijing city. While Beijing is really a very large city, to ensure the morning pick-up going smoothly as scheduled, we suggest you choose centrally located downtown hotels. If the location of your hotel is beyond our free pick-up range, you may need to pay for extra mile transfers or get to an appointed meeting point. For any pick-up issues, your one-on-one travel consultant is ready to help anytime.

Important note: Entrance tickets of the Forbidden City are usually released online 7 days in advance and could be easily sold out. Kindly advise you to book the tour 8 days before since the ticket purchase is based on the real name policy.

Jerry our guide was very enthusiastic despite the bad weather. He taught us a lot about the whole history of Beijing. The Chinese architecture is fascinating. A good guide is a must have if you really want to enjoy the tour.

At the end of the day, a great tour to have an overall look of what Beijing has to offer!

Our private guide was nice, knowledgeable, and spoke English very well. Had no problem taking all our photos. We were given our own Audi car and personal driver. Make sure to take the dragon boat at the Summer Palace. Be prepared for Beijing traffic. Wear comfortable shoes, lots of walking.

The tour parts of this were excellent, however we were taken to a restaurant which not only was expensive by Chinese standards but also one of the worst on our whole trip.
