  • Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang) - In the morning, your private guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby, and then a comfortable and capacious chauffeur-driven car will transfer you to Tiananmen Square. Follow your guide to take a morning walk around this city square, and you can shoot distant view photos of the brilliant landmark buildings such as the Monument to the People’s Heroes, the Great Hall of the People and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao.
  • Forbidden City-The Palace Museum - Walk through the Gate of Heavenly Peace with the great Chairman Mao’s portrait on it; you come to this morning’s highlight - the 600-year-old Forbidden City - the largest and the most intact imperial palace complex of the Ming and Qing Courts (1368 - 1911 AD).

The majestic Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms! Which are the most essential and interesting parts? The veteran itinerary designer carefully selects the top 10 palaces for you, including major ones on the traditional central axis, and some special chambers on the east and west wings.

Great Wall + Tiananmen + Forbidden City - Our tour guy Kevin was just amazing and resourceful. I also loved his enthusiasm while describing the history. Big plus is also of him guiding you how to get a good photo and how to pose. I would also like to compliment the driver mr. Lee. Very good driver and I always felt calm.

Highly recommended day tour - I needed to arrange for a tour at a short notice.. and I was able to book through Travel China Guide tours services. These guys are there to help you experience the places you want to see. It starts with clear offerings, leading to seamless payment options. Then, along the way, contact communication with the tourist to put them at ease. So, you just need to focus on soaking in the experience.. and not really worry about any logistics. Not pushy.. no sales tactics.. no stopping at shopping streets or malls etc. Their tours are priced well and conducted well. Our guide Dennis was a knowledgeable guy and I would rate him 'good' in his English communication skills. He just needs to be a bit louder.. ha ha!

Highly Recommended! Be sure to request Barry! - A very relaxed but informative day trip. Both the driver and Barry were charming, helpful and very knowledgable. They picked me up promptly at my hotel and dropped me off at a separate location that I requested. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Amazing tour - My husband, my daughter and I went on a 2 day private tour that included The Great Wall of China (Juyongguan, Badaling & Mutianyu), Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven & Summer Palace. Our tour guide Mr. David Hao was extremely professional, knowledgeable, spoke very good English and was extremely friendly. Mr. Hao was our private tour guide for two consecutive days. On the 2nd day, it seemed like we had known Mr. Hao for a while due to his friendliness and good sense of humor. The drivers were very professional as well conducting us safely to and from the places we visited. We would love to return to China again and tour the other amazing sites we did not have time to explore.
