What people love about China Tours from Beijing
This trip is listed as a fairly comprehensive look at China today and doesn't disappoint. From Beijing to Hong Kong and everything in between. Staying in Hotels and sleeping on trains makes this a real adventure. The trip visits all the expected features as well as many that are less well known, but equally wonderful (I know, too many words. edit as you see fit)

The general preparation and organization were excellent. The drivers were punctual, the lodging was tidy, the staff was nice and friendly, and the meals were good. Ms. Evelyn, our travel consultant, kept us informed about schedules and provided daily updates through WhatsApp, eliminating any concerns. We would choose their services again.
Our family recently took a private tour of China with Realistic Asia and it was an unforgettable experience. As a family with elderly parents, we were looking for a trip that would be both enjoyable and manageable, and Realistic Asia delivered. The Spanish-speaking guides were absolutely fantastic. They were knowledgeable, patient, and went out of their way to ensure that my parents felt comfortable and understood everything. The guides' expertise made a huge difference in our overall experience. We were also very impressed with the quality of the hotels and the food. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and the meals were delicious and varied. The transportation to and from the airport was smooth and efficient. Having a private tour allowed us to customize our itinerary and spend quality time together as a family. We were able to explore Chinese culture and history at our own pace, and the guides were always happy to answer our questions. We would like to thank Realistic Asia for providing us with such a wonderful trip. Everything was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Realistic Asia to anyone looking for a personalized and unforgettable travel experience in China.

What our customers ask about China Tours from Beijing
What's the best time of year to start a tour in Beijing?
The most agreeable conditions for Beijing tours occur during spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) when mild temperatures and clear skies prevail. Travel data from TourRadar points to September and October as peak departure months. One traveler's experience reflects this saying "The weather in early October was perfect for exploring the Forbidden City and climbing the Great Wall - not too hot or cold."
What are the essential landmarks visited on the first few days in Beijing?
The opening days of Beijing tours focus on key sites: Tiananmen Square the Forbidden City Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. Most itineraries reserve day 2 or 3 for the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall including cable car access. Accommodations center around hotels like the Sunworld Hotel Beijing or Hotel New Otani Chang Fu Gong. A TourRadar guest noted "The Beijing portion was excellent. The guide was awesome and very accommodating with showing us all the key sites."
How long should I plan to stay in Beijing before continuing to other destinations?
Standard tour packages allocate 3-4 days to Beijing before moving to cities like Xi'an or Shanghai. This timeframe lets visitors explore major sites while getting used to the local time zone. A TourRadar participant shared: "Three full days gave us perfect time to explore the key sites without feeling rushed starting with the Forbidden City and ending at the Great Wall."
What are the common starting locations within Beijing for these tours?
Tour departures concentrate in three main Beijing districts: Wangfujing where the Sunworld Hotel stands Dongcheng near Tiananmen Square and Chaoyang. According to a TourRadar participant "starting from the Sunworld Hotel was ideal as it provided easy access to the subway and major attractions like the Forbidden City and local markets."
What dining experiences are included in Beijing tours?
The food program typically combines hotel breakfasts with local dining experiences including Peking duck at establishments like DaDong or Quanjude. Many tours schedule lunch near the Great Wall at venues such as the Schoolhouse at Mutianyu. One TourRadar guest observed: "The mix of hotel breakfasts and local restaurants gave us a great taste of authentic Beijing cuisine."
What's the typical travel time from Beijing to popular next destinations?
High-speed rail connects Beijing to Xi'an in 5-5.5 hours and Shanghai in 4.5 hours. Air routes to Chengdu or Guilin take 2-3 hours. Tours prioritize comfortable transport with designated seating as noted by TourRadar guests who valued "the seamless transitions between cities."
