Great 2 days
![]() We had 2 great days with Jiang (guide) and our driver Mr Qi. Pick up at our cruise ship at 08 am was well in time and we drove to Forbidden City first . On the way we had a nice lunch and my vegetarian request was no problem. Also our Rikscha tour on the bike was a nice experience. The next morning we started early to the Great Wall. Perfect timing with less poeple on top. We enjoyed the time very much and recommended a private tour ! more

Half-day trip to the Forbidden City
![]() I found myself with a free morning between work in Beijing and decided to reach out to China Highlights once more for a guided tour of the Forbidden City. I was lucky to have Selinda as a guide, giving me insights into the life inside the Forbidden City and also making sure that I was able to reach my next appointment in time. I enjoyed the tour tremendously and would be more than happy to have Selinda as a guide once more. more

A cable car takes you to a good section (avoiding a very steep climb), where you can walk along the wall, through the watch towers and enjoy superb views as it snakes across the hills and mountains. You can return by cable car, walk down or walk along the wall for about an hour to descend by chairlift. Wear good walking shoes and protection from the weather.
