• Beijing - This one-day tour of Beijing provides two travel options, both featuring hotel pick-up and drop-off for added convenience.

Option 1 is the Boutique-Style Small Group Tour, limited to a maximum of 8 participants. This ensures a more intimate and comfortable experience, free from overcrowding, ideal for travelers who enjoy sharing their journey with a small group while receiving attentive service.

Option 2 is the Private Tour, offering exclusive, personalized experiences. A dedicated private guide will focus solely on your group, providing detailed explanations, adjusting the travel pace to suit your interests, and answering all your questions. This tour is exclusively for your party, allowing you to relax completely as you explore the attractions.

Regardless of the option chosen, you will visit two of Beijing’s most iconic scenic spots in one day.

• Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - Begin your memorable day in Beijing by meeting your guide in your hotel lobby at a time that suits your schedule. Step into a clean, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the city scenery as your knowledgeable guide shares captivating historical anecdotes and vivid tales, setting the tone for a day of discovery.

Your first stop is Tiananmen Square, a landmark where grandeur meets deep significance. As both a world-famous tourist site and a key political activity hub of China, please note two important points: First, the square may be temporarily closed by the government for official events; if this occurs, we’ll drive past the area so you can still view its exterior. Second, entry requires a security check—if the queue wait time exceeds one hour, we’ll skip the square to ensure ample time for the Forbidden City and Great Wall (the core highlights of your day). Please note Tiananmen Square is free to enter, so no refund for this part.

• Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - After Tiananmen Square (or our drive-by if adjustments are needed), we’ll proceed to the iconic Forbidden City. Whether in a small group or private setting, you’ll enjoy a more relaxed start to exploring China’s imperial past. Once inside, you’ll notice: while the Forbidden City’s vast palaces and halls feel majestic, many buildings may look similar at first glance. That’s where your guide excels—70% of your experience here will be through their rich storytelling. They’ll lead you along the sacred Central Axis, uncovering the stories behind every key structure.

• Hall of Great Harmony (Taihe Dian) - Once inside the Forbidden City, your exploration will begin with the magnificent Three Great Halls. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the largest wooden structure in the complex and was used for grand imperial ceremonies. Here, emperors would hold important events such as coronations and celebrations. Next is the Hall of Central Harmony, a smaller hall where emperors would rest and prepare before ceremonies. The Hall of Preserving Harmony was used for imperial examinations.

• The Imperial Garden of The Palace Museum - After exploring the key areas of the Forbidden City, you’ll make your way to the Imperial Garden. This beautiful garden, filled with ancient trees, pavilions, and rockeries, offers a peaceful retreat within the grand palace complex.

Along the way, your guide will paint vivid pictures of Ming and Qing dynasty court life—from emperors’ daily routines to concubines’ and eunuchs’ lives—making the ancient walls feel alive. Have questions? Ask anytime—your guide is here to make the history resonate, whether you’re in a small group or one-on-one.

You will then exit the Forbidden City through the gate near the Imperial Garden, marking the end of this historical and cultural exploration.

• Palace of Heavenly Purity - Moving on to the Inner Court, you’ll visit the Palace of Heavenly Purity, which was the living quarters of emperors in the Ming and early Qing dynasties. Adjacent is the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, the residence of empresses. The Hall of Union and Peace, located between these two palaces, was used for various imperial functions.

• Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area Ticket Office - After exiting the Forbidden City via its North Gate, we’ll hop back in the vehicle for a scenic 1.5-hour drive to Mutianyu Great Wall. During the ride, the history doesn’t stop—your guide will share fascinating facts about the Great Wall’s construction, its role as an ancient defense system, and the legends that make it a world wonder.

Upon arrival, we’ll first enjoy a hearty, delicious lunch to refuel—perfect for recharging before exploring the Wall, whether you’re dining with a small group or your private party.

• Mutianyu Great Wall - To reach the Great Wall, you’ll have two excellent options to reach the top—both included in your tour fee: glide up smoothly via cable car, or take a scenic chairlift for a slower, more leisurely ascent. Your guide will explain the functions of ancient watchtowers and crenellations. You’ll also get free time to wander: snap postcard-worthy photos of the Wall winding through lush hills, soak in the breathtaking views, and marvel at this architectural masterpiece. After the exhilarating hike, you can choose an exciting way to descend. Opt for the thrilling toboggan ride down the slope, or take the ski lift or cable car back to ground level.

As the day concludes, your guide and driver will ensure a safe, comfortable ride back to your hotel. Whether you chose a small group or private tour, you’ll leave with memories of iconic landmarks, imperial grandeur, ancient fortresses, and stories that will stay with you long after your Beijing trip.
