Beijing Essential Full-Day Tour including Great Wall at Badaling, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square

We had the pleasure to have Li as our tour guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Lunch they served was ok.”

Zoe, our tour guide was the best. Very fluent in English and very experienced and knowledgable. She was a blast and kept us together several times enjoying the sights while she went and stood in lines to get us tickets. Really made for a pleasant time and we were all pals by the end of the day. Really glad to see the sights we did on this tour and we used the tram to go up/down the Great Wall. Very cool”

Leo was an amazing tour guide. Nothing felt rushed. The forbidden city is gorgeous, and he knew all the best spots for pictures. We didn’t go to Badaling, but went to another section instead that was closer. It was steep but the views were worth it.”

Our guide was excellent in her English it was a great history lesson and Unforgettable experience to see the Great Wall in all its history to see Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City and all the aspirations of the first emperor it was wonderful”

This was our first tour in China and our tour guide did NOT disappoint. Our day was WONDERFUL and we have seen/experienced a LOT OF NICE THINGS :- Our guide was helpful and informative. He showed up on time and was friendly. This tour is well/fairly priced and SHOULD NOT BE MISSED!!!”

I did this trip last year and I still remember how well organized it was. If you have just a stop over, this is the best solution.”

We enjoyed and highly recommend the Beijing Essential Full-Day Tour. Our tour guide was amazing, spoke good English and really made our trip enjoyable and educational as well.”

It was amazing. We went to the wall and experienced different sites. Since it was not tourist season aswell, it was not packed. Highly recommended. Its a nice way to experience Beijing when you are travelling by yourself”

Exceptional Day Tour! I was expecting to be in a mini-van but got picked up at the Marriott City Wall Hotel by the tour guide,Michael, and his driver,Xie, in a stylish sedan.Thus, I was given a private tour for the entire day 20th October,2017. The highlights were: 1. Tiananmen Square and this coincided with the 5 yearly Congress, so the decoration of the Square was striking.The friendliness of the thousands of Chinese tourists was memorable. 2.The Forbidden City:a very long walk through the entire historical site:perfectly preserved and perfectly clean. 3.The Great Wall: involved a long drive on a beautiful expressway.Xie's driving was exceptional.I was given free time to explore and walk the Great Wall.The preservation,the width and the height of the Wall is impressive.Once again,the friendliness of the Chinese tourists was highly memorable. On the Tour we visited a Jade Engraving factory, a Silk factory and a Chinese Tea House.At each of these there was an expectation to buy product:this is my only negative comment.However, these visits ensured the cultural experience was complete. The Tour lasted almost 11 hours and the treatment I received from Michael and Xie made the Tour perfect: the knowledge they shared,their manner and their effort to make the day memorable. This Day Tour stands out compared to others I have done in other major cities.My impression of Beijing was thoroughly enriched: this is a City that is vibrant:modern,clean and organised for the huge population who live there. Noteworthy was the price charged by Viator: much less than similar tours that I had read about,prior to making a decision on which one to choose.”

Our tour guy jacky was amazing. Speaks very good English and is willing to answer any questions you may have!!!”

The tour was excellent. Our guide was Cynthia and she was amazing. She was full of information and took us through everything and explained the history of it and how it got to where it is now. We went to a silk factory, a jade factory, and a tea ceremony. We also had a great lunch. She explained some of the Chinese symbols to us between visits. I definitely recommend her and the tour. My two friends were also more than happy with the experience”

A really enjoyable, busy day. Knowledgable and friendly guide.”

Really good tour, Jackie was very knowledgeable and hilarious”

This tour was AMAZING! It was a perfect day, perfect locations to visit, outstanding tour guide!! Ask to eat at the Jade Factory restaurant.....it was INCREDIBLE! Will always use Viator for future tours :”

It was very good experience , personalized guided tour It was a like a Private Tour in exclusive Lucury car”

I had a Great Time. Very Educational. The Guide and Driver are some of the Best people I have ever meet. They make China Special in my Heart Steve Johnson”

The Great Wall is a must do, it's amazing when you get on top and see the wall around you. Our tour guide Mr. Jacquie Lee was very knowledgable, friendly and happy to show us around. Arquitecture in the Forbidden City is impressive.”

I was in China on business, and only had one day to spend in Beijing, so I wanted to see as much as possilbe. The Beijing Essential Full-Day perfectly meet my needs. Our guide Jackie was very knowledgable of the history and stories about each site we visited. He kept the group moving to ensure we didn't linger too long at any particular site. Jackie's English was very good and made the trip very interesting. One thing to remember on this tour is that it will make for a very long day, so if you tend to move at a slower pace, a shorter tour may be more well suited for you. However, if you have just one day to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananment Square, this tour is perfect.”

The tour was phenomenal! Very personalized. I highly recommend it!”

Serry was fantastic. very organised, punctual, knowledgeable and pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was easy to book through Viator, and the reminder as the day drew nearer was appreciated.”

Great time!”

Fantastic Michael the tour guide was very friendly and spoke good english. Suggested a mid morning snack would be good. Brett Australia”

The tour was well done and very thought out. We were a group of four and stayed at an airbnb. The company was very accommodating and picked us up from our location. This was most helpful as we had only been in Beijing for the night so hadn't really had time to learn the area. We were picked up promptly at 7:45am to begin our tour. Our guide and driver were exceptionally professional. Mike, the tour guide, was super knowledgeable and professional. He answered any and all questions we posed. Every location was high on the list of places to visit during my trip and this tour hit all locations and more. With plenty of time to enjoy and take in the history and beauty. I would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.”

The tour was awesome. Jacki male was our guide and he was more than happy to tell us about everything! It was extremely informative. The tour ran a little long but that was perfectly fine because we went to Beijing just to take it. The food provided on the tour was also amazing! I highly recommend this tour!”
