Your English-speaking guide meets you in the lobby of your Beijing hotel, or at the arrivals gate of your train station or Beijing Capital / Daxing airport — tell us which at booking — holding a Your Way Holiday sign. Your private air-conditioned car and driver wait curbside; bags stay in the car and bottled water is on board.
Built in 1420 under the Yongle Emperor and expanded by the Qing, the Temple of Heaven is where emperors performed the winter-solstice sacrifice for good harvests. Your guide walks you through the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (three-tiered blue-tile roof, no single nail in the timber frame), up onto the Circular Mound Altar and through the ancient cypress grove. Locals practise Tai Chi and kick shuttlecocks on the side plazas.
A 3,400-metre red wall encloses 980 buildings on 72 hectares — home to 24 Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) emperors. Your guide traces the central axis — Meridian Gate, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Palace of Heavenly Purity — and separates court fact from TV-drama myth. Comfortable shoes recommended; expect 2–3 km of walking at your own pace.
440,000 square metres and still the world’s largest civic plaza. Your guide walks you past the Gate of Heavenly Peace, the Monument to the People’s Heroes, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People and the National Museum of China. Expect 40–60 minutes on flat paving, and a security bag-check at the entrance.
Lunch isn’t included on purpose. Your guide drives you to a genuine neighbourhood kitchen and helps you order — luzhu huoshao (slow-braised pork in a crispy flatbread), wandouhuang (chickpea jelly with apricot jam), or whatever else looks good. You pay for what you actually eat; vegetarian, halal or lighter meals are easy to arrange — just tell your guide that morning.
A 780-metre Yuan-dynasty hutong north of the Drum Tower, lined with courtyard homes, tea houses and small design shops. Your guide walks you off the main drag into side alleys to see real door-carving and residents out on stools, then points out a coffee courtyard or a douzhui (shaved-ice) stall if you want a break. Evening free — dinner on yourself.
Your driver takes you back to your Beijing city-centre hotel for the night. Your guide stays on WeChat or WhatsApp for anything you need — a late-night dumpling run, a dawn flag-raising slot the next morning, or a swap on the Day-2 plan.
Your guide meets you in the hotel lobby around 07:30, then your driver takes you roughly 70 kilometres north to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall — about 90 minutes on the expressway, with one comfort stop on request.
Mutianyu is one of the best-preserved and least-crowded sections of the Wall, restored from 1983 onwards on the original Ming masonry (1368–1644). Take the enclosed cable car up to Tower 14, walk the ridge west towards Tower 20, and — if you want the fun descent — take the open toboggan slide down through the trees. Expect 2–3 hours on the wall; worn-soled shoes, sun protection and one bottle of water from the car.
Lunch isn’t included on purpose. Your guide drives you to a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the wall and helps you order — shuan yangrou (thin-sliced lamb swished in boiling broth, eaten with sesame and pickled-veg sauce) or a lighter vegetable stir-fry. You pay for what you eat; vegetarian, halal or gluten-free orders are easy to arrange.
Beijing’s best-preserved imperial garden — fifteen kilometres northwest of the city, two-thirds of it water (Kunming Lake). Your guide walks you along the 728-metre Long Corridor, up past the Tower of Buddhist Incense and through Empress Dowager Cixi’s living quarters, and shows you how Qing garden designers ‘borrowed scenery’ from the Western Hills. A boat on the lake can be added on the day if you’ve energy left.
Your driver takes you back to your Beijing hotel, or drops you at whichever train station or airport you told us at booking — Beijing Capital, Daxing, Beijing South or Beijing West. Bags come out of the car, and your guide stays on WeChat or WhatsApp if you need anything after the drop-off.
Two full days, 07:30 start on Day 2, and roughly 8–9 hours per day including transfers. Standard pick-up on Day 1 is 8:30–9:00am from your Beijing hotel, train station or airport.
Your hotel in Beijing, your train station, or the arrivals gate at Beijing Capital or Daxing airport — tell us which when you book, both days.
No, deliberately. Your guide drives you to a genuine local kitchen, helps you order, and you pay for what you eat. Vegetarian, halal or lighter meals are easy to arrange.
One night in a city-centre four-star (or upgrade on request), breakfast included. We book it for you — send your dates and group size and we’ll email options and pricing.
Private — only your party, your own car and driver, your own English-speaking guide for the two days.
Yes. It’s private, so if you’d rather swap Nanluoguxiang for the 798 Art District, or add a dawn flag-raising at Tiananmen, or a Peking Opera or acrobatics show in the evening, tell us at booking or on the day.
The two-day route already covers Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Nanluoguxiang, the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Pick any of the six options below and we’ll fold them into an evening or an early-morning slot — the car, the guide and the pace are yours, so nothing has to be squeezed. Tell us at booking.
Beijing Street-Snack Crawl with Your Guide
An evening walk through Nanluoguxiang or Shichahai with your guide translating the stalls — jianbing griddle cakes, lamb skewers, frozen pears, malt-sugar tanghulu, stinky tofu if you’re brave. You pay per stall, so budget 60–120 RMB per person.
798 Art District — Contemporary Beijing
Two hours in a converted 1950s electronics factory in Jiuxianqiao, now packed with galleries, sculptural courtyards and independent coffee shops. Your guide points out the Ullens Center and the Dao AO bookshop so you hit what’s good instead of wandering.
Peking Duck Dinner at a Local Kitchen
A reserved table at a neighbourhood roast-duck kitchen (not a coach-bus group hall). Whole duck carved tableside with thin pancakes, scallion, cucumber and hoisin; the carcass made into a peppery soup. Vegetarian or lighter orders easy on request. Bill paid directly to the restaurant.
Flag-Raising Ceremony at Tiananmen (Dawn)
Security opens around 04:30–05:30am depending on the season — your guide books the slot and walks you in. Ceremony lasts about 12 minutes and matches sunrise. Hotel pick-up that morning runs early; the day’s other stops shift back accordingly.
Chinese Acrobatics Show
Ninety minutes at a Beijing acrobatics theatre near Chaoyang Park. Homage to the Shaolin tradition — contortion, plate-spin, motorcycle cage, aerial silks. Your guide picks seats in the middle rows for the best sight-line.
Hanfu Dress-up & Photo Shoot
Ming- or Qing-style hanfu fitted at a shop near Tiananmen or the Summer Palace, hair and light makeup included. Photographer follows for 60–90 minutes; you keep the edited files (40–60 shots). Bring flat shoes.

I travel alone a lot and a two day private tour was the easiest way to see Beijing without stress. Day one was the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and a hutong food walk. My guide Peter noticed I am vegetarian and steered us away from the set menu restaurants toward a Buddhist vegetarian place near a temple, honestly the best meal of my trip. Day two was the Great Wall and he started us before the tour buses got there. What I liked most was flexibility, if I wanted to linger somewhere he just adjusted the rest of the plan silently. Hotels and drivers were all handled, I never had to think.
Traveled with two kids (10 and 13) and were worried they’d be bored. Guide Amy kept them engaged with stories about emperors and secret passages in the Forbidden City. At Mutianyu, she let the kids go first on the tobogran while we walked down - they were thrilled. Only minor issue: lunch on day 1 was a bit touristy (set menu at a crowded restaurant), but day 2’s lunch was much better - a small noodle shop near the wall where we watched the chef pull noodles by hand. Driver was patient with our jet-lagged kids too.
Perfect for a long weekend in Beijing. Day 1 was Forbidden City + Temple of Heaven + hutong lunch. Day 2 was Mutianyu Great Wall in the morning, then Summer Palace afternoon. Guide Michael paced it brilliantly - we never felt like we were running. He also suggested we do the hutong visit first thing in the morning before tourists flooded in, and that tip alone made the experience. Hotels were pre-arranged and driver met us at the train station. Seamless from start to finish.
I had such an amazing time on the 2-day Beijing tour with Your Way Holiday! I contacted them and mentioned that I love food and have a lot of energy, so they recommended a Tai Chi experience for me on the first day and a hike at the Mutianyu Great Wall on the second day. Our guide Alice was awesome—she knew exactly what I liked and took me to some of the best local food spots. The grilled skewers she recommended were out of this world—honestly, I’ve never had anything like them in Italy! I really enjoyed this trip and can’t wait to come back to China again. Thanks so much, Your Way Holiday!

Had an amazing time on this exclusive tour. The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square were full of history, and the Temple of Heaven felt so serene. The Mutianyu Great Wall was less crowded and more scenic than expected. Nanluoguxiang gave a great mix of culture and modern life. The Summer Palace was like stepping into a painting.

Mutianyu's quieter stretch is a great pick - glad the two days balanced history and calm. Thanks, Jakub!

The 2-day tour was incredible! The Temple of Heaven’s peaceful vibe was such a great start. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City were monumental, while the Mutianyu Great Wall took my breath away.
