Perfect Day in Beijing: Forbidden City & Great Wall Tour 🌏 - If you’re in Beijing for just one day, this guided tour of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China is simply unmissable. Our day started at the magnificent Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest palace complexes in the world. Walking through its vast courtyards and ornate halls was like stepping back in time to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide Lisa every gate, statue, and intricate detail came alive with stories of emperors, traditions, and hidden symbolism. After a delicious lunch featuring authentic Chinese flavors, we continued to the Great Wall at Badaling, the most iconic and well-preserved section. The climb was challenging at times, but the panoramic views from the top were absolutely breathtaking — a true “bucket list” moment. This one-day tour perfectly balances history, culture, and stunning scenery. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone visiting Beijing. It’s not just sightseeing — it’s an unforgettable journey through one of the world’s greatest civilizations.

Easy way to take in Beijing’s hits - This was a great way to go to all three of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall all in one day. I’m happy to have opted for a tour as it made navigating the ticketing and lineup process at these places much easier. Our guide for the day, Lisa, was friendly and knowledgeable about these locations and happy to share fun facts about China. Be ready for crowds and lines at all three locations.

A concentrate of the best of Beijing in a single day! - With little time available to visit the city, this tour was ideal to make the most of the time we had. On the same day, we visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China (Badaling). Everything went as expected, including lunch, which also provided a welcome opportunity to rest and recharge. Well done, Lisa, for the excellent guiding work – in my view, you always made me feel at home away from home. A word of appreciation also goes to the driver Lihuabin, who transported us efficiently and safely. Like ;)
