Two sights, private
The tour covers two of Beijing’s major sites in a day, with a guide in English. A private tour lets you set the pace.
Its 7.8 from 62 reviews is lower than the three-sight tour (9.2 from 280), which also adds the Lama Temple.
Pick by evidence
If the score matters, the three-sight tour is the better supported option. If you want a private day for two sights, this is the one.
