What you'll see and do
Eastern Royal Tombs of the Qing Dynasty
Accompanied by a professional guide in the morning from your Beijing hotel to visit the charming Eastern Qing Tombs. Which was built from the last Dynasty Qing is ruled by Manchurians from north eastern China. Their tombs are designed to overcome the splendor of the previous dynasty Ming. The stone carvings and Tibetan Buddhism reflection in the tomb of the most influential Emperor Qianlong, the unimaginable luxury in the bomb of notorious but most powerful woman Dowager Cixi, and the massive tomb robbery by warlords in 1920’s brought it to everyone’s attention. Compare with the Ming Tombs, it is less visitors, so you will enjoy the peaceful time reading the history. Please note: there are no good restaurants near the Tombs, only some village restaurants nearby which are not very tasty and clean enough, we suggest you’d better prepare some fast food or snack for lunch by your own in advance. Your private guide and driver will take you back Beijing downtown hotel at the end of tour.

wonderful time at East Qing Tombs - Catherine Lu Tours
I had a wonderful private excursion to the East Qing Tombs with Catherine Lu Tours. My tour guide was friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable about the history and significance of the site. She even adjusted her usual schedule to accommodate my early morning request, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Catherine Lu Tours to anyone visiting the area and will definitely use their service again for future trips!

Qing Eastern Tombs
Our guides, Ms Gu Ping and Gary picked us up punctually. During the tour, Ms Gu told us many interesting stories about the emperors and their concubines buried within the mausoleum complex and shared many interesting details about the building architecture. Ms Gu even went beyond her way to bring us to visit Jingling. Really enjoyed our trip very much due to the friendliness and professionalism of Ms Gu and Gary!

QING TOMBS TOUR
Our family went to the Qing tombs. Tour guide Lisa from CatherineLu Tour is so informative and passionate about the history of China. It is really an eye opener for us and we learnt a lot from her. I felt that i had travelled back in time to the glamorous Qing dynasty then.

Excellent experience
Worthwhile trip, esp. for a fan of Chinese history and Qing dynasty. You could find your self surrounded by signature Ming/ Qing architecture resembling that of Forbidden City apart from its quite and less people. Rita, our private tour guide, is really nice to acompany us most of the journey with interesting history stories in the Emperor Qianlong and Empress CiXi Tombs. A little pity to not be able to visit Emperor Kangxi Tombs (ticket available but we were not aware to buy in advance). Overall the tour is super nice and highly recommend for anyone who could spend a full day extra in Beijing/ Tianjin (beside visiting Forbidden City and Great Wall).

Incredible
This trip was really worth our time. It was a long drive (2 hours) but the tombs and the area was breathtaking! Rita from Catherine Lu Tours was a very lovely guide, who was very knowledgeable and a pleasant person. She told us everything, even small details which we really liked! We recommend this tour if you like buildings and history similar to the forbidden city and this is just as interesting as that!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Private Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $67 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 Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing 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 Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing?
+
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 Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing 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 Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Excursion Tour to East Qing Tombs from Beijing 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.
