2.Private Night Tour: Discover Beijing in Bustling Lights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 67 reviews · from $88Top rated

This 3 to 4-hour private evening tour pairs Beijing’s ancient center with its Olympic-era architecture. A guide such as Linda Shi, Jenny, Jeffrey, or Jack may lead the way, with hotel pickup, photo stops, a walk through old streets, and time for local snacks at Dashanlan.

“I took this tour my first night in Beijing with my tour guide/ driver Jenny, she was extremely personable and knowledgeable of the area. We walked for a bit by Houhai lake and I sample local lamb kebab and duck roll which were both delicious. The sights chosen were good but due to time constraints it was difficult to get truly wonderful photos at some. The Olympic stadium being one such location. I wished we spent more time at Houhai lake to take in a few minutes of the vibe and eliminate other street walking. Or even stopped off on Ghost street and join in the liveliness. Overall the tour…”
