A very enriching experience that allows you to learn about the history of China in detail, our guide William provided us with a lot of information that helped us understand what we were seeing, without rushing us with data that is difficult to retain, I highly recommend this tour
This was a wonderful excursion to the Capital Museum. The museum is very big, and has interesting exhibits. A lot of things to learn about the Chinese history. Guide Diana is very knowledgable about the history of the city. I enjoyed the tour a lot.
Our visit to the National Museum of China with our guide Diana was fabulous. She was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She guided us expertly through check in and security and took us to many of the most interesting exhibits. We enjoyed learning more of China’s ancient history, but also its more recent history of the Opium Wars. Highly recommended.
We strongly recommend visiting the National Museum of China with a private tour guide ! The travel Agency will arrange everything for you, you don't have to worry about tickets, and you'll gain valuable knowledge inside the museum ! William was our private guide, he navigated us very well through the holiday with his fascinating story telling in the museum ! Through his well paced, easy explanations we journeyed through the interesting history of China from ancient times to the present! He was extremely patient with us, senior people 😀! His explanations were clear and interesting and We highly recommend him and the company services ! Anya and Prawindra (New Zealand)
Zoey was our tour guide for the day. She was very friendly and super knowledgeable during our tour. We visited the ancient China part of the museum and despite it being very crowded she was very clear with her explanations. Highly recommended tour and guide!! 5 Stars
The tour was fantastic. Mike, our guide, met us at our hotel and arranged transportation to the museum. We spent time in the Ancient China section and Mine was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
Great tour end experience with Mike who is very knowledgeable and has great insight into the museum! Expect a full tour of ancient China with many different artifacts and famous pieces to look at. Very helpful for us!
Our guide, Mike, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and quickly took us to the museum. He spent 3.5 hours with us at the museum. He explained the most important artifacts in great detail. Whatever we were curious about and asked, he answered every question thoroughly. His knowledge of ancient Chinese history was incredible. He had brought along extra maps and visuals, which he used during his explanations. He spoke excellent English and was very polite and friendly. It was so obvious that he truly loved his job. If you’re planning to visit the National Museum of China, I strongly recommend asking for Mike.
A special thank you to our guide, Alice. My wife and I visited during Chinese New Year, when museum tickets were fully booked for the entire week of our stay. Alice and her team worked very hard to secure last-minute tickets for us, which we deeply appreciated. She picked us up from our hotel and guided us through a calm, informative tour of the museum. Even though the tour is normally four hours, she stayed with us for more than five due to the holiday crowds. Thank you, Alice, for going above and beyond and making our Beijing trip truly memorable.
Pick up at hotel, great trip with Mike to National Museum. Loved the journey...learned so much culture and history! 3 hours and 25 times and dynasties.
