Great three days in Beijing!
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!

Rita - Best guide in Beijing!
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..

Brilliant Tour with Rita and Mr Lee – Highly Recommended!
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!

Hope to welcome you back to Beijing again soon 😊 Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

Summer time in beijing
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.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, We truly appreciate your kind words and perfect rating. It was a pleasure to host you in Beijing! Best regards, Lily's Beijing Tours Team

Great 3 day tour of Beijing with Maggie!
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.

3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show cost?
+
Prices start at $560 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Beijing Hightlight Tour with Optional Peking Duck & Show start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
