Overview

Enjoy a private Beijing day personally planned and hosted by Lao Wang, with time to explore, ask questions and enjoy the city at your own pace.

You do not need to know Beijing or plan a route. Before your visit, Lao Wang learns about your interests, walking comfort and places already visited or booked, then recommends a complete itinerary. Leave the planning to him or help shape the day.

Explore a mix of historic landmarks, gardens and neighborhood life chosen for you. Lao Wang connects what you see with Beijing's history and everyday life, leaving time for meals, breaks and details that catch your interest. He accompanies you from pickup to drop-off and helps with arrangements, restaurant choices and ordering.

The itinerary below is an example. Choose this suggested route or agree on a different itinerary in advance, subject to opening hours and ticket availability.
