“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.”

3.Beijing Classic Full-Day Tour including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 610 reviews · from $99

Full-day Beijing highlights with hotel pickup, an English guide, included tickets and lunch, plus Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven.

“The trip included a lot of unannounced "shopping activities" i.e tea ceremonies, silk factory visit and a traditional chinese medicine visit (the latter one being a visit to a no-name center that claimed to be related to the official TCM- most probably a scam) which consumed a lot of time. As a result e only reached our last destination the Summer Palace late in the evening, with no enough light to enjoy the best part of the whole trip.”

It was very crowed in “T” Square and the Forbidden City. James navigated us around and found the best photo stops. The Summer Palace was next after a delicious lunch. The tour exceeded our expectations and we would recommend James, his driver and this tour to our family and friends. Don’t miss this highlight of Beijing!”

I think that the guide is very important in a tour and can make the difference between amazing and ok :) Even though I traveled some, I felt like the entire group was one team! The tour was excellent length for winter time (but cold outside than I am used to). Probably in the summer is worth taking one full day in the wall for tracking.”
