Description

Embark on an exclusive private tour of China's capital with the convenience of pick-up from your centrally located hotel in Beijing. Your itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to your interests — imperial palaces, temples, bustling hutongs or local flavors — with a stop to savor Beijing's culinary delights along the way. With personalized attention and the freedom to customize your route, this private tour guarantees a memorable exploration of Beijing's unparalleled beauty and historical significance. Choose your package Package 1 — City Essentials: 8 Hours (Driver + Tickets) Drive a full circle around Tiananmen Square, admiring its landmark buildings from inside your vehicle — entering the square itself requires an advance real-name reservation and is not included. Stop for photos at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, then stroll the lakeside hutongs of Houhai on foot and pass the Drum Tower area, viewed from the outside. Visit the Lama Temple, then drive through the Olympic Village to see the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube from outsid. Finish at the Summer Palace, where your combo ticket covers the imperial gardens and its museums. This package includes your private driver plus tickets for the Lama Temple and the Summer Palace; all other stops are enjoyed from the outside. Package 2 — City Highlights: 8 Hours (Driver + Tickets) Drive around Tiananmen Square, then step inside the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace — all three admission tickets included. As these are real-name ticketed sites, please provide the full name and passport number of each visitor at the time of booking. Package 3 — Great Wall: 8 Hours (Driver + Tickets) Spend your day on the Great Wall and choose your section: Badaling, the classic with cable car access and sweeping views; Mutianyu, beautifully restored amid forested hills, famous for its chairlift and toboggan ride; Juyongguan, rich in military history and ancient stone carvings, with far fewer crowds. Entrance tickets are included for whichever you choose; cable cars and toboggans are paid on site. If time allows after the wall, add another city stop — tickets at your own expense.
