Why Beijing

Explore Beijing: History, Culture & Local Experiences

Beijing attracts travelers with its rich cultural heritage and bustling modern life. With over 3,000 years of history, Beijing tours reward visitors with both ancient grandeur and futuristic skyscrapers. Stories of great dynasties fill the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and the winding Great Wall. Local life and diverse cuisines are preserved in time-worn hutongs.

Our Beijing tours don’t limit themselves to the city’s highlights and landmarks, but also provide unique experiences, like making dumplings with a local family, learning paper-cutting in a courtyard house, and exploring hutongs on a rickshaw – all with the help of professional, English-speaking guides.

How to Plan a Beijing Tour

Frequent international flights to Beijing and the 240-hour visa-free transit policy make it easy to plan your next China tour or layover tour from Beijing. Three days is enough to see highlights like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the hutongs, while day tours are more focused and longer tours offer more opportunities for in-depth exploration.
