Discover the hutongs, visit the historic temples, explore the business district, the Olympic Village and the shopping streets of modern Beijing.
After picking you up from your hotel's lobby at the indicated time we'll head to one of the oldest areas of the city to visit the Drum Tower, which used to announce the time in Beijing during the 3rd century.
At the next stop we'll discover the hutongs (the oldest alleys in the city), where you can see locals living a traditional lifestyle. We'll hop on board a rickshaw, a Chinese traditional means of transport, to explore these fascinating streets.
Continuing to explore Beijing's historical side, we'll arrive at the Yonghe Temple, the most important Tibetan Buddhist temple outside of Tibet.
When we reach Guomao, the skyscraper district, we'll begin to see the city's breathtaking contrasts. We'll also have lunch in this area.
After lunch, we'll head to the Olympic Village to see the fascinating stadiums that hosted the 2008 Olympic Games; the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are spectacular sights.
The tour will continue at China's National Centre for the Performing Arts, probably the most famous modern building in Beijing. Because of its design, "The Egg" was a topic of debate and controversy for almost two years.
At the end of the tour, we'll pass by Wangfujing, the most important and modern shopping street in Beijing. Although we recommend staying in this area at the end of the tour, we can also take you back to your hotel, arriving around 8 hours after pickup.
By booking a private tour, a personal guide will accompany you, and you'll be able to customize your itinerary, travel at your own pace, and even save money if you're traveling in a larger group!
If you're travelling to Beijing and you don't have much time, take the opportunity to book our private tour from the airport! Depending on the time you have available, we'll visit some of the most important monuments of the Chinese capital such as the Great Wall or the Forbidden City.
