The guide Summer was fantastic and very knowledgeable and friendmy.I had good memories about forbidden city.Highly recommend her.
The tour was fantastic and the price is more than fair! Linda guided us with so much care and gave us detailed information about everything. Also she is a really kind person. It was a great experience. We started at the meeting point, where she took us by bus to the Tiananmen Square entrance. From there we saw all the main points (with time for photos) and proceeded to the Palace Museum (Forbidden City), where we took our time to do the planned route. More than explaining each part of the museum, Linda gave us insights on China’s history and society, and was very open to answer our questions. And we had many (we love to chat). Thank you Linda!

Great experience in the forbidden city and Tian’anmen square, Very good explanation from our guide, who is very kind and professional.
During our stopover in Bejing, this tour was the perfect activity. Our guide Melodie showed us the most important places, explained very well and gave us an insight in the history of China. She spoke a well understandable English and gave us perfect answers to all our questions. Perfectly organised. On time. Good instructions to the meeting point. All that to a good prize! We really recommend this organization and our guide Melody. Thank you very much! Family from Switzerland.
My guide Amber was GREAT! I had a wonderful day touring the Forbidden city and surrounding area. Amber was extremely knowledgeable about this history of the forbidden city and was able to link over 700 years of Chinese history to modern times in a fun and engaging way. She was punctual, a good communicator and very thoughtful. This tour was the better than any other I had while visiting china. Well worth the value, 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone with an interest in Chinese history, art, culture and current affairs.
