2.Beijing Classic Full-Day Tour including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 610 reviews · from $99

This nine-hour Beijing tour covers Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Summer Palace with an English-speaking guide, lunch, transport, and admission included. Guides such as Jenny, Lee, Mary, Murphy, and Michael are praised for clear history talks and good group care. Expect heavy walking, crowds, and possible shopping stops at a pearl market or tea venue.

“The trip included a lot of unannounced "shopping activities" i.e tea ceremonies, silk factory visit and a traditional chinese medicine visit (the latter one being a visit to a no-name center that claimed to be related to the official TCM- most probably a scam) which consumed a lot of time. As a result e only reached our last destination the Summer Palace late in the evening, with no enough light to enjoy the best part of the whole trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 120 reviews · from $93

Spend about seven hours visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven with an English-speaking guide. Central Beijing hotel pickup, entrance fees, lunch, and return transport are included. Guides such as Mary, Jenny, Mark, and Cherry have earned praise, but ticket problems and unplanned shopping stops have affected some departures.

“Overpriced for what it is... Got rushed through the sites with barely any explanation on their history or architecture. The guide barely spoke English so it was difficult to communicate at all. Half of the time was basically spent at the silk factory or pearl shop where they try really hard to make you spend more money nice try, but I'm broke after paying for this tour lol. Tour was supposed to be 7 hours but I was brought back after barely 4? What? The food was ok at least. But nothing special. I don't recommend... There's cheaper tours out there with better guides...”

It was really good to actually see the pandas and best to go early as they are more active then. The Summer Palace was so big and a lot to see, Edward explained the stories of the Emperors and the different dynasties. The Temple of Heaven is simply impressive to see. We did this tour at the end of Winter so it was quite cold but not as many tourists but still pretty busy, it would be a lot more…”
