Itinerary Quick Look

Meet Your Guide and Head to Forbidden City 

Your tour guide will meet you in the hotel lobby as long as the hotel is within the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. If your hotel is outside the Fourth Ring Road, the guide can still meet you up, but there will be an additional charge. And then the tour guide will assist you in taking a taxi to Forbidden City. The taxi fare will be covered by you. If you don't need a tour guide and only want ticket booking for the Forbidden City, that's also possible. Please consult your travel advisor for details.

Explore the Forbidden City

The Forbidden City admission ticket is included. Once you arrive at East Prosperity Gate of the Forbidden City, your tour guide will lead you on a leisurely walk to the Forbidden City, the largest imperial palace in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll delve into the secrets of emperors and concubines during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Unlike typical group tours that only visit 6–8 sites, you'll explore 12 fascinating spots, gaining a deeper understanding of imperial life. The walking is easy and will take about 2 hours (roughly 2 kilometers), with plenty of chances to snap photos and ask questions!

After-Visit Arrangements

After your visit to the Forbidden City, your guide will help you catch a taxi back to your hotel or to your chosen restaurant, but will not accompany you there.

Additional Info.:

1. If tickets or tours are not purchased at least 7 days in advance, you will need to buy your own ticket and wait in line.

2. In the private tour, the guide can meet you in the hotel lobby; however, the private transfer fee is not included, meaning you will need to take a taxi, and the taxi fare will be at your own expense.

3. It’s recommended to arrive at the hotel lobby on time to help you avoid the crowds and make the most of your day.

4. Please remember to bring your passport, as it is required for entry into certain attractions.

5. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as some parts of the tour involve moderate walking.

6. It’s a good idea to have some local currency (CNY) for small purchases, as not all places accept international credit cards.
