Summer Palace Private Tour with Public Transport&Optional Extras

Beijing’s public transport is wonderfully convenient, and getting around by bus or metro is one of the fastest, most authentic ways to experience the city. It’s your chance to dive into local daily life—rub shoulders with Beijingers and feel what a real Beijing commute is like. This fully customizable private tour comes with two flexible duration options to suit your pace: opt for the 4-hour itinerary to focus exclusively on the breathtaking Summer Palace, where you can wander its imperial halls, stroll along the iconic Long Corridor, and take in the serene beauty of Kunming Lake at a leisurely pace. Or upgrade to the 6-hour experience, which pairs the Summer Palace with additional Beijing highlights tailored to your preferences—simply chat with your guide to craft a personalized route that checks off your must-see spots. Either way, you’ll blend everyday Beijing charm with imperial garden grandeur for an immersive, unforgettable journey beyond standard sightseeing.
