Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Forbidden City-The Palace Museum, No.4 Jingshanqian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100009 China

After pickup from your hotel lobby in Beijing city centre, your guide will take you to the first stop of the itinerary, the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City or Imperial Palace was the residence of the different emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Containing up to 800 buildings and some 9,000 chambers, the palace was strictly forbidden to the general public. Your guide will explain the meanings of the intricate designs and interesting details about its history. Listen to anecdotes about China's Empress Dowager Tzu-hsi who wielded power as head of the Qing Dynasty for half a century and learn the fate of the last emperor.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: China World Shopping Mall, 1 Jianwai Dajie, Beijing China

When you finish this visit, you will head to the business area of Beijing. On the way, our guide will entertain you with interesting stories about Beijing history like the Japanese occupation, the communist party foundation, the visit of Nixon and Kissinger's to China and their secret discussions with Mao Zedong, etc.

Once in the Business Area also called CBD, you will visit the Summit Wing, a remarkable space near the top of the 81st floor at the China World Trade Tower III. Enjoy unrivaled views over the historic city center, including the hutongs, which demonstrate Beijing’s organic development with their narrow alleys that separate traditional courtyard homes.

After this visit, you will make a stop to have a lunch and local beer in one of the capital's best microbreweries in the Sanlitun area. The Sanlitun area is known for their shops and bustling night life, so now that the tour has finished, you can get to know this modern neighborhood of Beijing.

Then you will farewell your guide and make your own way back to your hotel.

Duration: 2 hours

Our guide Grace was outstanding. She held our attention from the moment she began our tour until the very end. She wove an historical story of the China's Ming and Qing Dynasties everyday political, social and family life from 1420 up to 1920. Our entire tour was so special thanks to her tireless attention to our desires to experience Beijing and the fascinating history of China. Thanks Grace!

Okay, firstly I must say that I would give the Tour Guide, Winser Zhao a very good rating because he was friendly, well-informed, had very good English-speaking skills and was very knowledgeable about what we saw on the tour. On our visit to The Forbidden City, Winser took us to the calligraphy exhibition and showed us around the exhibits. His knowledge regarding the calligraphy - historical and contemporary - was interesting and impressive - so full marks to Winser! However, if you want to take this tour because of an interest in the Underground City or aspects of the Cold War, then this tour is not for you. When we were picked up at our hotel, Winser made it clear the tunnels and bunkers had been closed to tours since 2008!!! And so, the 'Underground City' aspect of this tour should be well-and-truly deleted from all advertising. Had we not been interested in the calligraphy, we would probably have been very disappointed. As we enjoyed the calligraphy however we have rated the tour accordingly. The visit to the China World Trade Tower gave us a great bird's-eye-view of Beijing. And the lunch provided at the brewery (especially the Iron Buddha Brew) was excellent. You don't get any insights into the manufacture of the beers available, but the lunch itself was excellent. As the calligraphy went over time, we had to make our own way back to the hotel by taxi. Overall, the tour is well worth it to see the Forbidden City (particularly the calligraphy exhibition), to get the bird's eye view, and the unusual but tasty lunch. Winser is an excellent guide! Subsequent to the tour he visited our hotel and gave us a very generous gift of some calligraphy of his own. This was testament to the friendliness and generosity we experienced throughout Beijing on our winter trip to this wonderful city!
