Amazing Tour despite party Mobility issues
What an amazing experience! We ended up doing 2 days with two different tours guides and drivers. Let me say I was simply blown away. I have 2 parents with mobility issues and both of our tour guides Mrs. Cindy Chen and Ranee were extremely understanding and incredibly helpful. I don’t think we would have been able to do what we did without them. They helped us find a wheelchair pushing service for hire and it made the trip so much better for my parents. But our guide and even our driver on the second day were extremely helpful and incredibly supportive. So much so that we even hired the driver to take us to the train station the next day. But in a country where you don’t know the language and there are signs it English it just makes it so much more enjoyable having someone that knows everything. From the best photo spots to the great restaurant just knowing where to get dropped off for us was a huge help. But I can’t say enough positive things about Mrs. Cindy Chen and Ranee. We look forward to going back to China and we will for sure be using this company again when we get back to Beijing!

Private Great Wall & other main Beijing attractions
We were a private group of 6, having a memorable trip to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other main attractions (2 consecutive days) with our tour guide, Jack, inspite of the summer heat. Jack was quite thoughtful and knowledgeable. His English was quite good. He was punctual and had everything arranged and adapted to meet our needs. He recommended us a handful of interesting neighbourhoods and nice restaurants. We would definitely recommend Jack as tour guide.

A great custom tour
Jack was the perfect guide - a student of history, an insightful instructor, patient and helpful. We sent him a request to see things we wouldn’t see on our large group tour and he met it with excellent timing. Zhao our driver was right there when we needed him always coordinating carefully with Jack , always ready with water and a little candy when we called for pick up. These guys were good and we recommend them highly.

Great Wall Mutianyu and Water side tour
We had an amazing day exploring two parts of the Great Wall. We went early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The chair lift up and Toboggan down added to the experience. We had a delicious lunch and then enjoyed spectacular views at the Waterside section finished with a fun speed boat ride. Our guide Jack was very helpful and informative. He had wonderful English and made the day very relaxing. Our transport was comfortable with snacks and water.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 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 Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time?
+
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 Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time?
+
Around 12 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Customized Beijing City Day Tour with Flexible Departure Time 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.
