A great Tour around Beijing
The tour was great. Not only did we see the Forbidden City, the Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall in two days, we also had a lot of different experiences in the city itself by going through markets. Although the streets were crowded and we were not a large group. Just me and a friend, plus our Tourguide Tony Dong, we never lost each other because Tony knows his way around the city. Tony is not only a genuinely nice and funny person, he knows a lot about the history of Beijing and China in general. There was not one moment where the atmosphere between us and Tony was weird or anything else like it. He was always engaged and energetic, but he gives you enough free time to experience everything by yourself. Tony also tries to answer every question you have to his best abilities. Overall I think the trip is a great experience the price is completely justified for what we got, Tony is a great Tourguide and it was a really fun and interesting tour around the city, I can recommend this for anyone that wants to visit Beijing.

Better China Trip made our trip to China amazing!
The experience with the agency Better China Trip was very good and my friend and I had a lot of fun during or visit in Beijing! Already the planning phase beforehand went very well and the agency replied directly after only a few hours. They handled all the admission fees for us and arranged all tickets, so that we didn’t need to worry about anything. We stayed in Beijing for 5 days and booked the agency services aswell as the tourguide and private car driver for two of those days. As this was a private tour, my friend and I were alone with the driver and the tourguide the whole two days and always had the opportunity to ask any questions - the crowd size was very small therefor. They took care of us perfectly and also the atmosphere was great! A trip with the agency Better China Trip is best for EVERYONE! They can adapt their services to any need and will always be friendly and competent. Our licensed tourguide Tony Dong was the best tourguide we ever had in our lives and we look forward to booking the next trip with the agency and also Tony! Both driver and tourguide could speak English very well and also were very professional. Thanks for everything!

Amazing Tour with Susan – Highly Recommended!
We had an unforgettable experience with our tour guide Susan! She took us on an incredible trip to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, sharing fascinating information and giving us deep insights into Chinese history and culture. The whole tour was very professionally organized, and Susan was also incredibly flexible – she adapted the itinerary to our wishes and made everything run smoothly. We especially appreciated her help while shopping at the Hongqiao Market – she was a great support and made sure we got the best deals. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional guide in China, Susan is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour 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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour?
+
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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour 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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Private 2 Day Beijing Highlights and Great Wall Tour 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 Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. 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.
