3-Day Beijing Highlights Tour

We had a great three days with Geoffrey ! He was fantastic and did a great job showing us around Beijing. He gave us the history of each place. We had great lunches, tried different foods and overall had a good time. Zeng was our driver he was great too, always there to pick us up at then of each place we visited. He was a good driver and very patient in the Beijing traffic. We look forward to coming back!

what a fantastic 3 days we had with our amazing guide Rita from Lilys tours in Beijing - it was everything and more than we expected. Rita was enormously knowledgeable, charming, great fun and made our whistlestop tour of Beijing so interesting and meaningful - we learnt so much. Our driver Mr Li was so helpful and was always there to pick us up in the most convenient locations making the travelling easy and comfortable. They were punctual, helpful, and very well organised. I couldn't recommend Rita enough..

We had a fantastic 3-day tour of Beijing’s highlights – the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Ming Tombs, Great Wall and Summer Palace. Rita was a wonderful guide – warm, engaging and so knowledgeable. Her spoken English is excellent and she shared many fascinating stories about Chinese history, culture and daily life. We really enjoyed chatting with her and she brought every site to life. Mr Lee, our driver, was calm, courteous and a great drive. Hotel pick-up and train station drop-off at the end helped us to make the most in the short time we had. If you are planning a visit, remember that some sites are not open on Monday. Huge thanks to both – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The trip : 4.5/5 . The itinerary itself was sufficient to roughly see all the main tourist spots in beijing. The pace was just nice for our group which had a toddler and 2 elderly seniors. the days starts at around 830am and ends at 5pm, we were provided with 1 dinner and 3 lunches. Food esp the peking duck was delicious. Was a bit sad as did not manage to do the hutong tour, did the acrobatic show instead of the kungfu show and did not go down to tiananmen square (due to the massive summer holidays crowd) The guide, Jeffery : 5/5. knowledgeable, witty and very good with little kids. The driver, Gary : 5/5. Kind, careful driver and great with little kids. Car was clean and spacious. Picked us up at the locations of each attraction. The weather : the predicted weather was wildly not accurate. It was hot af. Needs loads of sun block. All in all a wonderful experience and happy that we made this trip.

We had an amazing private tour with Maggie. From picking us up at the train station on arrival to dropping us back at the train station 3 days later, Maggie looked after us at every step and shared some amazing insights about Beijing and Chinese history with us. Maggie’s English is fantastic and she was able to keep both us and our 9 & 11 year old children enthralled and informed. Highlights were the Great Wall and Temple of Heaven but the Forbidden City was also a site not to miss (even when it is raining!). Just make sure to book early so as not to miss out - tickets must be booked exactly one week before the day you wish to visit. We would highly recommend asking for Maggie when you book. Booking with Lily was easy and safe.
