This is Beijing done right: the icons without the tour-bus circus, plus the living city most visitors miss. You'll walk a quiet stretch of the Great Wall at Mutianyu, hear the Forbidden City explained as a story rather than a list of dates, and end a day the way locals do — around a dinner table in a hutong courtyard home. Private car, private guide, your pace.
Your guide meets you at Beijing Capital (PEK) or Daxing (PKX) airport. Check in, then ease in with an evening rickshaw ride through the Shichahai hutongs and dinner at a courtyard restaurant. We'll set up your phone for mobile payments so the rest of the trip is friction-free.
Early departure beats the crowds. Cable car up, 2–3 hours walking the most photogenic watchtowers, toboggan down if you're game. Farmhouse lunch in the valley, then back for a Peking duck dinner at a restaurant we actually eat at ourselves.
Skip-the-line entry at opening time, exploring emperor-by-emperor with your guide's storytelling. Afternoon at the Temple of Heaven where you'll join locals doing tai chi, calligraphy and jianzi. Evening free — we'll book you whatever you fancy.
Morning boat across Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace, a last lakeside stroll, then private transfer to the airport with generous buffer time. Extending to Xi'an by bullet train? We'll make it seamless.
