We offer 3 flexible packages for you to choose from based on your preferences: Economy (Guide-Only) Guide + Private Vehicle Premium (Guide + Vehicle + Dinner). Our professional guide will pick you up at your downtown Beijing hotel, then head to the first stop of the day—Tian’anmen Square. Important note: If you wish to watch the flag-lowering ceremony, passport number, full name, age and nationality of each guest are required for advance reservation. During peak seasons, security checks for entering the square can take as long as 1–3 hours. In such cases, we recommend either taking our private vehicle to tour around the square or listening to the guide’s detailed historical commentary on the square’s stories while waiting.

Next, we move on to Qianmen Old Street and its surrounding areas, a highlight combining shopping, history and food. The street is lined with time-honored brands and traditional shops, including renowned silk stores like Ruifuxiang, tea houses such as Zhang Yiyuan, and more. It’s a perfect place to shop for authentic Beijing souvenirs and experience the charm of century-old commerce. You can also wander through nearby historic hutongs like Damaochang, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty. These narrow lanes preserve the authentic style of old Beijing, with the guide sharing stories of their past as a hub for craftsmen, bankers and literati—witnessing centuries of urban changes. Then, dive into Beijing’s street food scene! Famous for exotic treats like fried scorpions and silkworm pupae, the street also offers classic local snacks(at your own cost).
