★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 418 reviews · from $369Top rated

Review of Beijing’s 2-day private tour covering the Forbidden City, Mutianyu Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, hutongs, meals, and transport.

“We had the most spectacular trip and tour for 2 days with Linda Shi. She has a great personality and definitely had the depth of knowledge to lead us all around Beijing and visit the “must sees.” She answered questions with ease, pointing out unique and memorable things to really make sure we got the most out of the tour. She also took us to great lunch places, away from the throngs of tourists. The driver we had was great, a good driver, with a luxurious, clean car. What a great way to spend 2 days learning about and seeing Beijing. I highly recommend Linda and this tour company if…”

6.Beijing Roast Duck Banquet and Acrobatics Show with VIP Seats Evening Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 87 reviews · from $144

Beijing evening tour pairing Peking duck with a thrilling acrobatics show, VIP seating, hotel pickup, and practical value advice.

“The show was AMAZING - truly spectacular. The theater isn't much to look at, and our audience had lots of typical Asian tourists who spoke loudly during the performances, didn't care about intruding in your personal space, and the host only spoke in Mandarin, but the show and performers were wonderful! Breathtaking, and I spent much of the show with my mouth open and my hands on my cheek, shocked. However, I would suggest looking for the acrobatic show as a stand alone excursion, without the peking duck dinner. The dinner was TERRIBLE!!! The duck was not good, and the other dishes were extremely Westernized and not authentic. We went…”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A seamless, premium experience with Sunny Tour. Pick-up was in a large luxury electric car — quiet, spotless, and very comfortable. Our guide, Ms. Shirley, was warm, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing insights about Shanghai while giving us space to enjoy the evening. Dinner featured hygienic and delicious Chinese local cuisine at a well-chosen restaurant — every dish was flavourful and authentic. The highlight was the river cruise, where we had our own private seating area offering stunning views of the Bund and Pudong skyline. Peaceful, crowd-free, and beautifully lit — it felt truly special. This tour was a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and thoughtful touches. Highly...”
