Beautiful Day at Great Wall in Mutianyu
We had a wonderful day visiting the Great Wall together with our guide, Ivy. The organisation - from the pick up to the return - was excellent, we had nothing to worry about. So It was a lovely and relaxed day profiting from the experience to the fullest without having to trouble about transport or tickets. Ivy explained well the history and knew about all nice parts of the part of the wall that we visited. She is very nice company. We had a very good experience. moreOct 2022, Nina

Excellent time in Beijing
Ivy was a true professional who spoke excellent English and engaged us with stories of the very rich Chinese cultural heritage and history. We went away with so much more knowledge with her as our guide giving us a live commentary as we walked around. She brought us to the off the beaten track spots, less crowded corners of the attractions and very importantly, knew which toilets were clean and more foreigner friendly. Highly recommend Ivy to any future visitors to Beijin moreOct 2022, JCCEBJ

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
After you retrieve your luggage and walk through the customs, you will easily spot your private guide waiting for your arrival. A professionally-chauffeured car will directly take you to your hotel. You guide will help you check in.
Your Beijing discovery begins with the most popular attractions, the Temple of Heaven is your first destination. It was initially built for the emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the most high God in heaven for a good harvest. The outer area is a large park for morning exercise and entertainment, hence a good place for you to absorb local life and the rich culture that fills the garden area.
The Great Wall at Mutianyu is about a 2-hour drive from the Temple of Heaven. After visiting to the Temple of Heaven, you will be driven to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. This section is the best section ranked top by our customers and on Trip Advisor. Lunch is at a Chinese restaurant near the Great Wall, serving traditional home dishes.
Your morning discovery will cover the Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City. Stroll around the world's largest city square (it has a capacity of 1,000,000 people) where Chairman Mao Zedong announced the foundation of the new People's Republic of China in 1949.
Walking across the Jinshui Bridge ('Golden Water Bridge') in the north, you will enter the world's largest and best-preserved imperial palaces - the Forbidden City. Built in 1420 and housed 24 emperors in the Ming and the Qing dynasties, the profound history of this palace leaves a lot of mysterious anecdotes. Feel free to ask your private guide about the symbolism, it is everywhere.
After your lunch, you will be transferred to Tianjin International Cruise Home Port, escorted by your private guide.
