Beijing Private Tour: Temple of Heaven, Hongqiao Market and Kung Fu Show with Peking Duck Dinner
Beijing, China
This private tour of Beijing will be filled with a variety of activities that lets you see and experience the best of the city in a single day. With your own private guide, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Temple of Heaven and explore the dynamic commercial area of Hongqiao Market, which boasts a large collection of pearl products. Dine on a mouthwatering dinner of Peking roast duck after marveling at a spectacular performance of the ‘Legend of Kung Fu.’
After your guide picks you up from your Beijing hotel, head to Temple of Heaven and tour the UNESCO World Heritage Site. First constructed in 1420, these religious buildings were visited by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual prayer ceremonies. Learn about these cultural practices and traditions as you walk through the temple complex, which occupies an area of 674 acres (273 hectares).
Next, step into Hongqiao Market (Beijing Pearl Market), one of the most visited local markets in Beijing. Here, peruse the different shops offering all sorts of interesting merchandise, from seafood to silk. This market is also the largest pearl distribution center in China. After spending time souvenir shopping, walk to the nearby Beijing Red Theater for a unique and spectacular Legend of Kung Fu show. Combining kung fu, dance and acrobatics with vibrant costumes, set designs and special effects, this show is a remarkable display of Chinese modern and traditional art.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, end your tour by heading to a nearby restaurant and enjoy a delectable feast of Peking roast duck, considered to be the most delicious delicacy in Beijing. At the end of your tour, your guide will take you by taxi or subway back to your Beijing hotel (all transportation fees included).
Our tour guide was excellent. Her knowledge, english, and recommendations made the day much more enjoyable.

This was a good tour. Enjoyed the Peking duck!! The duck was excellent!! Temple of Heaven was impressive. The Kung Fu show as more of a story of one child and not that much fighting but still interesting. Overall -- a great experience.

My tour guide Robert was able to answer my questions well and was very knowledgable about the attractions we visited. The tour was excellent after arriving in Beijing on my first day. I recommend this tour.

The tour guides were fantastic, however I will not book with via tour ever again. Once they have your money which they are more than happy to take, your then pretty much on your own. The tour is great but you can book tours anywhere really.

We had a great day with Linda as our guide. She was on time and was professional while being really friendly.
Our request for a slight change to the plan for the day was no problem. Linda was really knowledgeable about the sights and got us great seats for the Kung Fu Show. Then some great conversation and more sights on our walk to the restaurant and a lovely Peking Duck dinner. Would sincerely recommend this tour and our guide Linda.

Our kids, age 14,18,and 20, absolutely loved this show. The action and precision were incredible and it wasn't so long that they lost our attention.

This trip was okay but there was a lot of "shopping" areas that were more than we expected. Our guide, Linda, was great and she did her job. The one area that we misunderstood about the tour was the arrangements for getting back to our hotel after the show that evening. It was totally our responsibility to get a cab and get back to our hotel as best as we could. We did not realize that until Linda said her job was done and left us at the theatre to finish up the night on our own.

We would recommend this tour and our tour guide, Jackie. We especially enjoyed the Kung Fu show and the Pearl Market. Jackie was very professional and spoke excellent English. He did a great job helping us bargain with the vendors at the Pearl Market.

I went on the Beijing Private Tour on Thursday, 25 April 2013. The tour guide was excellent - friendly and knowledgeable.
I would like to thank you for the gift and also allowing me to customize the tour to include the Temple of Heaven and Olympic Park.
If I return to Beijing in the future I will be in touch to find out what other tours you have.

I would like to give you some feedback for Chris who took us to a tea ceremony, the pearl markets, the Peking duck dinner and the Kung fu show at the red theatre.
We would highly recommend your guide, Chris, she was very helpful, extremely informative and spoke very good English which was welcomed. We had a wonderful tour and all of our needs were met.
Thank you very much for your service.

Tour centers on market (2 hours) which would have been great if we were up for spending at market. Kung Fu show and dinner were very good. Very personal service.
