2.Beijing Classic Full-Day Tour including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 610 reviews · from $99

You’ll cover Beijing’s four headline sights in about nine hours with an English-speaking guide such as Jenny, Mary, Lee, or Michael. Expect early hotel pickup, long walks, a Chinese lunch, and possible shopping stops at a pearl market, tea ceremony, or silk center.

“The trip included a lot of unannounced "shopping activities" i.e tea ceremonies, silk factory visit and a traditional chinese medicine visit (the latter one being a visit to a no-name center that claimed to be related to the official TCM- most probably a scam) which consumed a lot of time. As a result e only reached our last destination the Summer Palace late in the evening, with no enough light to enjoy the best part of the whole trip.”
