Beijing Summer Palace: Private Half Day Tour with PickupYou’ll slip past entry lines for a private half-day tour of Beijing’s Summer Palace—walk Suzhou Street’s colorful canal shops, climb Longevity Hill for lake views, and hear local stories from your guide.

Private Beijing Day Trip: Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming TombsA private day trip from Beijing to the Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs, with a professional guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch and entrance fees included.

Comfortable walking shoes are essential; the Wall involves moderate climbing, and dietary requirements can be arranged ahead of time.Is it for me?Book this if your first days are tight on time: a private guide and included transport mean you skip arranging pickups and tickets, while Mutianyu's location keeps you away from the heaviest crowds at Badaling.

The car and guide handle navigation and timing, so you focus on what you actually want to see instead of planning the route.
