    Excellent service

    Our tour guide Maria was excellent she was very friendly and polite, the custom tour was better for us because we had small children.

    Excellent from start to end

    Excellent service from start to end. Amber contacted me ahead of the trip to discuss my priorities and everything was perfectly organised through the day. The driver was excellent and the vehicle luxurious and very clean. Everything went as expected.

    Response from the operator: Dear Carmina, Thank you for booking our tour again and appreciate your great review. We are glad that you had a good time with our service. All the best, Violet

    Great tour

    Lucy was my guide during my visit to the Forbidden City and she was great. From waiting for me to have some lunch to a great history class, she was awesome. Visiting a place like this with a guide is worth it.

    A Friendly Face amidst a Forbidden City!

    What a wonderful tour! Lucy picked us up at our hotel and we spent a fabulous day learning many wonderful insights. Lucy spoke perfect English and she answered every question we had. She was very professional yet warm and friendly. She took us to a wonderful lunch and went out of her way to surpass our expectations. This was our first day in Beijing and Lucy provided the perfect introduction to our trip. She desrves the highest of expectations!

    All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 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 All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery?

    +

    Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does All Inclusive Private Custom Day Tour: Beijing City Discovery 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.

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; Entrance fees; and Transport by private vehicle. Not included: Rickshaw ride fee; Boat at Summer Palace; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
