“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Private Day Tour in Beijing I booked a private full-day tour (around 8:30 AM–3:00 PM) as a solo traveler. The tour covered the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City, with a private driver and guide. The driver was professional and reliable. The guide spoke German (not perfectly, but clearly enough to communicate easily) and shared interesting and helpful information. He was patient and answered all questions.

I had a great day and would definitely recommend…”
