This tour visits the top four, most revered attractions in Beijing. Traveling with your own personal, English speaking guide learn first-hand about the history and cultural significance of each site visited. Your tour starts with an early morning visit to The Temple of Heaven, where you’ll learn about the rituals undertaken by Chinese Emperors seeking good weather and harvests. Next you’ll visit Tiananmen Square and explore some of the halls that flank both sides of the square. From there you’ll enter The Forbidden City, the largest palace complex in the world and until recent history, off limits to all but a privileged few. The Summer Palace, and its exotic gardens is next. If the season permits, enjoy a boat trip on the lake to take in the vistas.

Our English-speaking guide was Bruce. Bruce is an excellent, informative, and accommodating guide. We did a lot in one day and Bruce made it possible by guiding us from one place to another, somehow avoiding the lines. He listened to what we wanted to see and do and made a plan in which we did it all at our own pace. We highly recommend Bruce for English-speaking tours in Beijing. I should add that we have now had two wonderful tours with Mark's Tours in Beijing and both drivers were excellent and courteous with roomy comfortable cars.
