Private guide in Beijing: the Riverside Walk walk

A private guide who knows Beijing properly — imperial palaces, hutong lanes and the Great Wall an hour north. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience

Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Beijing for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Better than expected

A highlight of the trip. I have already recommended it to two friends who are visiting next month. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Fine overall

Decent. The main attraction was excellent; the rest felt like filler. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Disappointing

Poorly organised on the day. The staff seemed unsure of the schedule themselves. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Highly recommend

Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.
