    Great experience with Discover Beijing Tours

    We just returned from first day of our trip and we had wonderful time! Our guide Aurora was amazing - she had great knowledge about history and places we visited. Nothing was too hard and she was helping with all our issues- thanks to her we were able to have fun even though the heat was brutal that day . Thank you so much again and hope to see you again during our next Beijing trip !

    Excellent private weekend tour of Beijing highlights.

    I was visiting Beijing for a long weekend and had Lucy and a driver take me around and show me the highlights of Beijing. I found the tour to be informative and really flexible in terms of the pace I wanted to travel and history of each of the sites. While we were not able to visit the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square due to being closed for preparations for the 70th anniversary parade, Lucy was more than accomodating in taking me to other sights around Beijing and some local treasures. Thanks for a great private tour! Highly recommend.

    Perfect two-day tour!

    This was our first visit to Beijing, and we only had two days to explore the city. This tour has exceeded our expectations! Our guide for the two days was Lucy and we couldn't ask for a better guide. Lucy was knowledgeable. well informed and attentive to our needs. The driver was also always on time and very considerate. We had two amazing days in Beijing where we were able to explore the major highlights of the city. I would definitely book more tours with them whenever I revisit China.

    Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private?

    +

    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 Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private?

    +

    Around 6 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing 2-Day Tour: Visit 10 Must-See Attractions, Group/Private 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.
