Overview

Explore Beijing's imperial landmarks at your own pace on an 8-hour private vehicle tour. Your driver meets you at your confirmed city hotel, helping you travel between major sights without arranging taxis or navigating unfamiliar streets.

Default route: Beijing hotel → Temple of Heaven → Tiananmen Square → Palace Museum (Forbidden City) → Jingshan Park → hotel.

See the ceremonial halls and gardens of the Temple of Heaven, then continue to Tiananmen Square. Walk through the Forbidden City's historic courtyards before enjoying views of its rooftops from Jingshan Park. Nearby areas involve security checks and pedestrian-only routes.

Your air-conditioned vehicle is reserved for your group. This is a driver-only service, not a guided tour; an English-speaking driver is not guaranteed. Request itinerary changes at least 24 hours before departure, or follow the default route. Tickets and required reservations are extra. All driving, visits and hotel return count toward 8 hours.
