With expert guides, flexible transportation, and thoughtful extras like cable cars and tailored lunch menus, it’s a truly effortless deep dive into Beijing’s history and majesty.
Your day begins with a hotel pickup between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, with your private guide contacting you the evening before to confirm the details. You’ll start with a private transfer to Tian’anmen Square, the symbolic heart of modern and imperial China. From there, you’ll walk directly into the Forbidden City to explore 12 key palace sites, uncovering stories of emperors, concubines, ceremonies, and palace secrets on an easy-paced 2 km walk. Around 11:30 AM, you’ll drive out of Beijing to a local restaurant for lunch, where your guide will help you select regional dishes suited to your taste. At 2:00 PM, you’ll arrive at the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, known for its striking views and well-preserved watchtowers. A round-trip cable car ride is included to save time and energy, and your guide will accompany you along the wall, sharing historical insights and helping you capture memorable photos. After your visit, you’ll return to Beijing by private car between 4:00 and 5:30 PM, with the option to be dropped off at your hotel, another downtown location, or directly at the train station or airport according to your plans.
