Highlights
Explore the Forbidden City, Beijing's most iconic landmark, with a guide speaking English, Spanish, French, German or Italian, and hear stories of emperors, dynasties and modern history. Entry to the sights is reserved by the operator, so you don't need to buy tickets on site. Choose between group and private tours to suit your schedule, and extend your day to Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace or the Mutianyu Great Wall, or add a hutong dumpling-making class.
Program
Hear stories of emperors and dynasties
at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City
Tour the Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that served as the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with your guide. Admire the grand ancient architecture, the layout of the imperial palace and precious cultural relics while hearing about emperors, dynasties and modern history. Commentary is given in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian depending on the option.
The Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City group tour departs from the meeting point at 8:00 AM or 12:00 PM, and the 3-hour Forbidden City-only group tour departs at 9:30 AM or 1:30 PM. The in-depth Forbidden City group tour with hotel pickup within Beijing's 3rd Ring Road departs at 8:30 AM or 12:30 PM.
Continue to the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace or the Great Wall
The Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven group tour departs from a set meeting point at 8:00 AM, traveling between the two sights by public transport. You can also choose a group tour of the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven in one day, or a group tour combining the Forbidden City and the Mutianyu Great Wall.
Private tours and hutong dumpling making
Private tours start when your guide meets you in your hotel lobby within Beijing's 4th Ring Road. On the Tiananmen Square & Forbidden City private tour, you travel by taxi or subway at your own expense, while full-day private tours including the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven or Mutianyu Great Wall use Uber vehicles.
There is also an option to make dumplings and enjoy lunch or dinner in a hutong after a private Forbidden City tour. With the ticket-only option, you enter on your own with your passport and no guide.
※ Tiananmen Square may close without notice due to government events; in that case, it is replaced with a walk around the square or a visit to Jingshan Park.
※ On public holidays, security checks at the square can take about an hour due to crowds.
