Itinerario
Inizia il tuo tour in bicicletta presso la storica Torre del Tamburo, una meraviglia architettonica che si erge da secoli. Lasciati stupire dal suo design intricato e scopri il suo significato nella storia di Pechino. Originariamente chiamata Torre dell'amministrazione ordinata (Qizhenglou), la Torre del Tamburo fu costruita nel 1272 durante il regno di Kublai Khan, segnando il centro della capitale Yuan, Dadu. Ricostruito nel 1420 durante la dinastia Ming sotto l'imperatore Yongle e ampiamente rinnovato nel 1800 dall'imperatore Jiaqing della dinastia Qing, questo punto di riferimento offre uno sguardo unico sul ricco patrimonio culturale di Pechino.
Attraversa l'iconica Piazza Tiananmen, una delle piazze pubbliche più grandi del mondo. Ammira la grandiosità illuminata della piazza e i suoi importanti monumenti, tra cui il Monumento agli Eroi del Popolo e il Museo Nazionale Cinese. Scopri il significato culturale e storico di questo rinomato sito di Pechino.
Continua il tuo viaggio verso la maestosa Città Proibita, patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. Scivola oltre le imponenti mura rosse e le porte ornate, sperimentando il fascino mistico di questo antico complesso di palazzi imperiali dopo il tramonto. Situata nel cuore di Pechino, la Città Proibita è un grande complesso di palazzi che servì come palazzo imperiale cinese dalle dinastie Ming a Qing, dal 1420 al 1912. Oggi ospita il Museo del Palazzo, era la residenza degli imperatori e dei loro famiglie e centro politico e cerimoniale del governo cinese per quasi 500 anni.
Pedala fino al Parco Jingshan, situato appena a nord della Città Proibita. Il Parco Jingshan è un pittoresco parco imperiale di 23 ettari (57 acri) nella zona della Città Imperiale di Pechino. L'elemento centrale del parco è una collina artificiale chiamata Jingshan, che offre viste panoramiche sulla città. Originariamente un giardino imperiale privato collegato alla Città Proibita, fu aperto al pubblico nel 1928 e fu ufficialmente istituito come parco nel 1949. Gestito dai distretti di Xicheng e Dongcheng, il Parco Jingshan è un parco statale chiave nel cuore del centro di Pechino.
Percorri gli affascinanti vicoli verso il Parco del Lago Shichahai, una zona pittoresca circondata da tradizionali case con cortile e pittoresche case da tè. Prenditi un momento per goderti l'atmosfera serena del lago e dei suoi dintorni splendidamente illuminati. Il nome "Shichahai" significa "il lago dei dieci templi", riferendosi ai dieci famosi templi taoisti e buddisti attorno ai laghi, insieme a numerose residenze e giardini reali. Tra i monumenti più famosi ci sono la Prince Gong Mansion e la Prince Chun Mansion. Con una superficie di 147 ettari, Shichahai era un tempo il vivace centro commerciale di Pechino ed è ora una popolare destinazione turistica. L'area è caratterizzata da alberi ad alto fusto che costeggiano i bordi del lago e offre la possibilità di andare in barca in estate e di pattinare sul ghiaccio in inverno. Situato vicino all'ingresso nord del Parco Beihai, il Parco del Lago Shichahai è un luogo panoramico da non perdere a Pechino.
Dirigiti verso Wangfujing Street, un vivace centro commerciale rinomato per il suo vivace mercato notturno e il quartiere dello shopping. Concediti le prelibatezze locali dello street food e immergiti nella vivace atmosfera di questa famosa zona. Wangfujing è una nota via dello shopping nel distretto Dongcheng di Pechino. Per lo più pedonale, è stato un centro di attività commerciali sin dalla metà della dinastia Ming. Durante la dinastia Qing qui furono costruite dieci tenute aristocratiche e una residenza principesca. La strada fu chiamata Wangfujing dopo che nella zona fu scoperto un pozzo pieno di acqua dolce. Wangfujing è anche famosa per la sua strada degli snack, che offre un'ampia varietà di cibi esotici ai visitatori, rendendola una destinazione imperdibile sia per gli amanti del cibo che per gli amanti dello shopping. Da qui torneremo alla Torre del Tamburo, dove il tour sarà terminato.

The reviews for this tour were full of how the guide told local stories and gave interesting information. Unfortunately we had a stand in guide who didn’t do this at all. The areas she took us to, she left us to walk around by ourselves, whilst she stayed with the bikes. So no information was given. The tour was supposed to be three hours but we finished after two. Due to the national holiday the road to Tiananmen Square was shut and she didn’t know what else to do with us so she just took us back to the start and seemed relieved to end it there. Since then we took a different bike tour which was full of interesting information about the area and realised all the things she COULD have told us about. If you book this tour, it might be advisable to check you are getting an experienced guide. I’m sure it could be very good with the right person.
Hi Teresa, Very sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the tour guide's service, during the national day holiday in China, it is really the special moment for Beijing, crowded everywhere, yes, the Tiananmen Square will be shut down and people are not permitted to go through that area. The reason why the tour guide have to stay with the bikes all the time, that is because if the tour guide left the bikes, even just walked away with you from the bikes for 2 minutes, all the bikes will be taken away by others when you get back. So wish you can understand that, about the tour guide didn't give you the local introduction of the history and stories, honest speaking, I don't think so, as a very experienced tour guide for so many years, she will never behave like that. As a bike tour, especially a private tour for only two of you, the bike tour time length will be faster to finish a little longer than 2hours, that is very possible, we will guarantee to finish all the inclusions and biking route finished rather than must be 3hours. But any way, people have different standard for the tour experience and service level, please accept my sincere apology for you. Best regards, Owen
Meeting point well organized with live on line contact till face to face meeting. With the guide the drive was vert safe. Really great experience to explore a part of a big city
Hi Kurt, Great to hear that you enjoy the bike tour with the tour guide in Beijing, wish to offer you the best travel experience again. Keep in touch.
Excellent!!!!! Dean has a wealth of knowledge and the tour was just what we wanted. I’d highly recommend this tour
Thank you for your excellent review, Simon! We're thrilled you loved the bike tour with Dean. His wealth of knowledge about Beijing makes every ride a truly enriching experience. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back in Beijing for another ride!
The tour providers were very responsive and it was easy to arrange the tour at short notice. My guide, Dean, spoke very good English and was incredibly knowledgeable, including lots of fascinating anecdotes and details about Chinese culture and history throughout. The tour was timed to perfection: you catch beautiful golden hour cycling through Beijing's lovely parks and see the major sites lit up in the early evening. I highly recommend the tour for that reason; Beijing has a completely different character at night which should not be missed! The cycling itself was comfortable enough- Dean set me up in an appropriate bike and it felt safe cycling all around central Beijing.
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review, Emil! We're so glad Dean gave you such a memorable evening bike tour through Beijing. You've captured it perfectly — the golden hour cycling through the parks and seeing the major sites lit up at night is truly magical. Dean's knowledge of Chinese culture and history, combined with his excellent English, really brings the city to life. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another ride through Beijing's beautiful streets!
For the experienced cyclist the local Mobikes are less than your carbon dreams. Despite that this three hour tour was fantastic and Dean was a most knowledgeable and thoughtful guide getting us around safely and easily. He even booked us on his own Uber to get us back to our hotel when we finished. We actually found cycling around Beijing much safer than Melbourne. Getting around any city on a bike is a fantastic way to get your bearings and really get a taste for local life. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Lbond30! We love hearing that cycling around Beijing felt even safer than Melbourne — it really is a wonderful way to explore the city and get a taste of local life. Dean always goes above and beyond for our guests, and arranging his own Uber to get you back to your hotel is a perfect example of that. We're so glad you enjoyed the three-hour tour and highly appreciate your recommendation. Hope to see you back on two wheels in Beijing!
Dean was our very engaging, flexible and capable guide for our bike tour for our final night in Beijing. Beijing by bike is exhilarating and it is a great way to see the city. Dean met us just before sunset between the Drum and Bell Towers. He introduced himself and got us adjusted on our bikes for the evening (for the tours, he used a combination of Ofo and BlueGogo the night we were on the tour). While this tour hits many of the same sites you'll hit on any and every Beijing tour, seeing them via bike, in the evening and through the stories Dean tells is a combination that's hard to beat!
Thank you for your wonderful review, David! You've described the experience perfectly — seeing Beijing's iconic sites by bike in the evening, with Dean's engaging storytelling, really is a combination that's hard to beat. Starting between the Drum and Bell Towers at sunset sets the perfect tone for the ride. We're so glad Dean made your final night in Beijing a memorable one. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another exhilarating ride!
I'm incredibly disappointed with the experience here despite all the positive reviews. I had only one day in Beijing so tried to pack the day with activities. I arrived at 4:55 pm to my 5:00 pm tour to be told that we were waiting for the other participants (which sounded normal). At 5:15 I asked how long we would wait to witch my tour guide said he'd check with his manager. The guide got off the phone to tell me very casually that we would wait until 6 pm. We I looked horrified, he innocently and genuinely asked me if I was "OK". I told him it wasn't fair to make me wait given I arrived on time. He urged me to consider waiting but said he'd call his manager and ask for a full refund. LONG story short, I waited until 6 pm for the tour guide to make another call and be asked to wait until 7 pm! Absolutely ridiculous. I have to be fair and say that 1) I did get a full refund 2) The guide paid for me to take a cab to my hotel. Nevertheless, I find this behavior absolutely unacceptable and urge the tour operator to change their policies.
Dear Nafez, we sincerely apologize for this extremely frustrating experience. Making you wait two hours on your only day in Beijing was completely unacceptable, and we fully understand your disappointment. You were absolutely right to expect the tour to start on time, especially with such a tight schedule. We're glad we were able to provide a full refund, but we know that doesn't make up for the lost evening. We have since implemented stricter punctuality policies to ensure no guest ever has to endure such a lengthy delay again. We truly appreciate you sharing this experience, as it has helped us improve our operations. We're sorry we couldn't deliver the experience you deserved.
<p>Dean was awesome awesome as a guide. Very knowledgeable about the area we saw. He made biking through the streets fun and a great cultural experience. We experienced the city in a very different way. Highly recommended!</p>
Thank you for your awesome review, Guadalupe! Dean truly has a gift for making the bike tour both fun and culturally enriching. Exploring Beijing on two wheels really does give you a completely different perspective of the city. We're thrilled you had such a great time and appreciate your recommendation. Hope to see you back in Beijing!
<p>The tour voucher said we must confirm the tour by phone or email 24 hours prior. Despite multiple attempts we were unable to contact the local operator by phone. A last ditch effort by email did get a response but too late for us to make the one hour trip across Beijing for the tour. We were not willing to make that trip without confirmation. Not sure why we should have to confirm a tour that was payed for in advance. If a local number is supplied, someone should answer the phone. Very poor service. Very disappointed we missed the tour.</p>

Thank you for the kind words, Aleksander! Torry is indeed a fantastic guide who brings energy and enthusiasm no matter the weather. We're glad you enjoyed the bike tour even in the cold — it's always a memorable experience! We hope to welcome you back to Beijing.
