What to expect

Want to fully experience the core charm of Beijing in 3 days? This private customized tour is tailor-made for you! We will take you to visit 5 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites in one go, then connect Tiananmen Square, Yonghe Temple, Jingshan Park, and Houhai Hutongs, using an immersive experience to unlock the city’s millennium-old heritage and vibrant life. From the majestic Great Wall winding through mountains (choose between the unique scenery of Mutianyu or the profound history of Badaling), to the solemn Forbidden City under red walls and yellow tiles, each World Heritage site holds the code of Chinese civilization. There’s also the classical garden aesthetic of the Summer Palace, the harmony between heaven and man at the Temple of Heaven, and the imperial grandeur of the Ming Tombs. Following your exclusive private guide, you will understand the ingenuity of each building and the weight of history. During the trip, you will stand in Tiananmen Square to feel the patriotic spirit, and delve into the grey bricks and tiles of Houhai Hutongs to touch the warmth of local life – weeping willows by the lake, unique shops, and old Beijing courtyards complement each other, full of leisurely and cozy atmosphere. Even more thoughtfully, the lunches over 3 days offer different styles: authentic Beijing roast duck, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; fresh and juicy handmade dumplings; and authentic farmhouse dishes that restore the original deliciousness of ingredients, making your taste buds surprised throughout the journey. The private guide accompanying you throughout the trip is a walking “Beijing Encyclopedia,” who will not only share niche travel tips but also explain the historical allusions and interesting anecdotes hidden in the years, making every segment of the journey rewarding and complete. Quickly put on your comfortable walking shoes, pack your bags, and fully experience the unique charm of Beijing in these 3 days, letting the grandeur of the World Heritage sites, the solemnity of Tiananmen, and the vibrancy of Houhai be deeply imprinted in your memory!

Review for: 3-Day Private Tour (Excluding Accommodation)

We booked this tour one week before our trip and are so glad we did. Our tour guide - Sherry was an absolute gem 💎 in every way. She knew so much of the history of each historical site we visited, pointing out obscure artefact details and relating them to Chinese idioms and cultural superstitions. She always made sure we had enough time to take ample photos and often offered to step in to help us take group shots. We visited Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, The Ming Tombs, Drum & Bell Towers and the Great Wall - and we had an absolute blast in each one. Blessed with good weather and Sherry's kind motherly care, we really developed a fondness and respect for China's ancient history and culture. We can't wait to be back!

Bought this tour package for my family trip to Beijing for the first time and it’s the best decision made!! Our tour guide was Andy Dong, and our tour driver was Mr Lee (老李). Both of them were very dedicated, sincere and caring towards us throughout the entire trip! Andy is very knowledgable and he shares generously with us during the tour. He plans the itinerary carefully and effectively. He took care of my elderly parents’ needs and constantly look out for us and check in on us! As my mum is a vegetarian, he also helped us to ensure that her lunch menus were catered to her needs. Mr Lee also went out of his way and provided us with cold beverages and snacks, and he even bought 粽子 for us on the last day of the tour as it was 端午节! We were really very impressed by their dedication and professionalism, and they truly made our Beijing trip an amazing and unforgettable one!!

Absolutely amazing and well organised tour from the beginning. Thank you Dong Mei (Lucy) for being the perfect host and tour guide. Very well spoken English translation with zero problems throughout our tour. Dong Mei went above and beyond to help. I do have some health conditions and she was patient and waited and gave me time to catch up. My children and I have some allergies and she was able to translate and organise the food with no issues. food was amazing and the restaurants that was picked we enjoyed the Asian cuisine. Our driver Mr. Dung was also great and patiently waited and dropped us off after we watched the acrobat show. watch this, it’s great!!

Very professional, punctual and detailed tour. Xiyan (guide) is a very experienced, friendly person and well spoken in both chinese and english. She made the trips more fun. Very highly recommended. Throughout the trip, everything was made easier; entrance tickets, fees, lunches were handled by the guide. Overall, I had a very good experience for a first timer in China and for someone who cannot speak and understand chinese!

Mr Wang, our driver for the 3 days, had paintakingly and carefully drove us around the busy street. Always on time and in time to ensure we dont spend too much time waiting for him. Never worry or doubtful about his 30 years driving skill. Andy, our Tour guide, display excellent knowledge with clear explanation of the history entire trip. Always waiting in the hotel lobby to greet us, ensure we had no wasted time and also provide suitable food in a timely manner. We always feel comfortable and happy with him around. Never fail to entertain. itinerary: Unfortunately, the only disappointment is the visit to Ming Tomb is not included in the second day although it is listed and replace with a short visit to Panda Zoo. I urge Klook to ensure each attraction is to be visited in their listing so as to not disappoint customer's expectation.

Ranee our tour guide is so passionate about sharing her deep knowledge of the complex Chinese history. She took great care of my family of 10 (with two kids under 5). She was flexible in adjusting the schedule and lunch location to accommodate our family's pace. We took a private tour for our family and the transport was very comfortable and the driver was very safe in his driving in hectic traffic. 100% recommend the tour for any family like ours.

We will definitely recommend your company to our friends if they plan to visit Beijing. You can't go wrong with Andy!
