Day in Forbidden City

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful day at the Forbidden City, amazing view and architectural diversity. Highly recommend for any tourist traveling to Beijing

Hidden joy

Published on Oct, 2023

Fantastic place and a wonderful guide! Thanks for a wonderful time, specially for showing me and my kids, a little more about China

Great organising, securing tickets when no other provided would, they gave us a long and insightful tour.

Published on Sep, 2023

We managed to get a booking when every other option did not have available tickets so huge thumbs up there. Mike responded instantly and answered any question we had. Demi was a great your guide, shared very interesting insights about the history of the forbidden city, she was super friendly and nice and she even provided her raincoat for my partner to wear as it was pouring down heavily. I recommend this tour with no hesitation.

Great experience

Published on Aug, 2023

I purchased the tour because it was the top place that my sons wanted to visit even though they had visited when they were much younger. I did not know what to expect of this tour when I purchased the tour. Mark contacted me the day before me to make sure that I knew the meeting place and time - which provided me with great comfort that the tour would be great. Gary met us at the meeting place, and explained to us that the ticket line to get the reserved tickets is long and we might wanted to visit the Tiananmen Square while he got the reserved tickets, which was the great recommendation. Gary is very knowledgeable about the Chinese history and symbols. He was very flexible and patient how we moved through the museum and even helped us to purchase the tickets to the clock museum and treasure museum since we do not have the app to purchase online. Great service and we learned so much more about the history and museum. It is so much more fun and easier to get the tour. Great job and Thank you for the great experience!

A great afternoon in China

Published on Aug, 2023

The guide picked us up in time took us to tour the Summer Palace and Tiannanmen Square we were able to skirt the entire Forbidden City on a beautiful hike. On the way back he took us to a McDonald's so we could buy dinner and let us eat in the car, at no extra charge. Highly recommended
