Beijing Tours

Beijing is one of the most dynamic and interesting cities in the world by any standards. Host city for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and the 2022 Winter Olympic Games (the first city to ever host both the summer and winter Olympics), Beijing has undergone an unprecedented and amazing transformation over the past few years, with ancient landmarks now sitting side-by-side with the most modern architecture found anywhere in the world. From the Bird’s Nest to the Water Cube and the CCTV Tower, Beijing is filled with incredible new buildings in addition to its ancient UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Beijing Discovery Tours has the localized knowledge to make sure that you see the best that incredible Beijing has to offer, from the Forbidden City and the Great Wall to lesser-known but equally historic temples and other important cultural landmarks. Contact us with your questions or comments, and we will do our best to ensure that you have a great time when you visit the ancient yet modern capital of China. These are only sample tours and activities for your reference - you can choose these tours, tailor your own according to your own schedule, or let us recommend a tour schedule for you that fits your time and what you want to see.
