I had 2 days open in Beijing and didn't know what to do and where to start. Booked this and glad that I got to check out all the main attractions in 1 day. Thinking about booking a different bus tour the next business trip.

The best of Beijing objectives. The Hutong rides and lunch were below expectations, the old Beijing was not kept old and rustic.

This was a good tour. I would recommend to a person who has seen all of the main attractions and is looking to see something different towards the end of their stay in Beijing. The Lama Temple is magnificent with a calm atmosphere, my favorite temple in Beijing! The Hutong tour is good and very unique allowing for dinner in a locals house which is nice. Jingshan park is also very nice. Overall I would recommend but would prioritize the major attractions first if your trip is not very long!
