Review of Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and Mutianyu Great Wall tour, with practical advice on timing, value, walking, and guides.

“Fantastic day out. The tour guide Rocky really knew his stuff and could answer all questions. He was able to navigate us around the massive crowds very well as it was the national holiday week when we went. Rocky also took a lot of excellent pictures, and even downloaded them to our phones. He's a great guide who's English is impeccable. The tour was very long but worth every minute.”

“We took this tour on a very hot day in June 2025. To avoid the peak hours in Tiananmen Square our tour pick up was pre-poned but we were informed well in advance for that. There is a long queue at the Tiananmen Square and if you are visiting in peak summer then keep yourself hydrated. The forbidden city is very crowded but it’s a very different experience. We also visited the Temple of Heaven and the Summer palace. Both these place have a very rich cultural history and it feels you have travelled back in time. The tour is bit tiring as we cover a lot in a small…”

He represents the people of this great nation very well, and by spending time with him, one already begins to love this country and its people. An effective and pleasant ambassador! The different parts of the tour were all wonderful! Truly!”

“I booked our tour through Viator but the local company they contract with for this tour was Catherine Lu. Our tour guide’s name was May and she was great! The company was in contact with us prior to keep us informed (pick up time, bring passports, what is not allowed, etc). May picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8am. We took the subway to Tiananmen Square. It was great to have her because she navigated the subway and lines at the square beautifully (we are from the US and do not speak Chinese at all). She showed us everything, took pictures of us, and provided a very thorough…”
