Great Beijing Sites Tour
I can't say enough good things about this tour and Michael, our guide. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the content of out tour to our interests. It's clear he has a love for history and can speak at length on topics related to the places we were visiting and their context within the country China is today. I did this tour with my 11 year old daughter and Michael could speak to my interests as well as engage her on her interests. I shouldn't fail to mention that this tour included a lunch that was an absolute feast - the food was great and left us both in a food coma afterwards, which made it hard to go back out after the lunch was over (this was absolutely my fault!). Highly recommended! I should mention that this tour was supposed to include the Forbidden City, but we later found out that tickets for that site were already sold out - and that normally unless the booking is made at least 7 days in advance, you'll find Forbidden City tickets are not available. In our case this meant we visited the Lama Temple instead, which was fine because it featured similar architecture to what you'd see at the Forbidden City, and because of its smaller scale, it meant it made the tour a little bit more manageable (particularly since I was traveling with my kid). Just want to say. this because if you do want to visit the Forbidden City, plan accordingly!

Private day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour 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 Private day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace 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 day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour 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 Private day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace tour?
+
Around 0 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 Private day: Lama Temple, Temple of heaven and Summer palace 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 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.
