Better than expected
The photos do not do it justice. We spent far longer here than we planned to. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Beijing: the Hilltop 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.

Decent experience
Pleasant enough. The guide was knowledgeable but the group was larger than advertised. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Highly recommend
Booked last minute and it still went perfectly. Confirmation was instant and the instructions were clear. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Would book again
Beautiful setting and very well run. The timing gave us plenty of room to explore at our own pace. The children loved it, which is the real test.
