Private Beijing Tours: The Imperial Heart of China
Ancient Power. Modern Pulse. 100% Tailor-made for You.
Where Empires Rise
Experience the grandeur of China’s capital with Xiora’s private Beijing tours. We steer you away from the tour bus crowds, offering an intimate look at the Forbidden City and the Great Wall…
Beijing is a city of colossal scale and profound history. As the capital of China for over 800 years, it is home to the world’s largest palace complex and the majestic Great Wall. But beyond the imperial red walls lies a city of intimate Hutong alleyways, cutting-edge architecture, and a culinary scene that rivals any global metropolis.
For the Xiora traveler, Beijing is best experienced with insider access. We steer you away from the tour bus crowds, opening doors to hidden palace halls and private sections of the Great Wall, ensuring your encounter with history is personal and profound.
The Great Wall (Mutianyu Section)
The Xiora Difference: We avoid the crowded Badaling section. Instead, we take you to Mutianyu or Jinshanling, arriving early or late to ensure you can walk the ramparts in peace, perhaps even with a champagne picnic.
The Forbidden City
The Xiora Difference: While others rush through the central axis, our expert guides take you to the Treasure Gallery and the Clock Hall, sharing the secret lives of the concubines and emperors beyond the official history.
The Hutongs
The Xiora Difference: We arrange a private rickshaw ride and a visit to a local resident’s courtyard home. No staged tourist shops—just real conversation and authentic tea with a Beijing family.
