It was a lovely tour of the Forbidden City. Our tour guide Hanna was great. She was a very good guide, very knowledgeable, her English was excellent and she was very lovely to talk to. I highly recommend her and the private tour.
Thank you so much Anna for this visit in the forbidden city! You have been an exceptional guide, nice, patient, curious!
We were guided by Snow, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the Palace and China history more broadly. She was very patient and pleasant throughout and we had a very positive experience.
Jenny of Leo Travels was so wonderful. She was friendly and knowledgeable in the history of the Forbidden City.
Jenny of Leo Travels was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and friendly. Took us through the history of the Chinese emperors and Forbidden City / Tiananmen Square with so much information. It was a worthwhile trip.
Very great private tour. Guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Guide also helped me a lot before and after the tour with the procurement of a taxi.
Jenny was fantastic. She was so wonderful and knowledgeable and was so thoughtful and accommodating to reorder the tour itinerary when I was not feeling well and needed to leave early. My wife absolutely loved the experience and we recommend Jenny so highly! We also want to say that Leo was fantastic as well in helping us get the tour set up but also helping us buy tickets for other venues in Beijing that we’re difficult for us as foreigners to buy online. Thank you!
With Helen's commentary and guidance, we really enjoyed our tour of the square and the forbidden city. It was bitterly cold (-4c) and helen adjusted our tour to suit our interest and even found all the areas with sun to warm us up. She really knew her history and didn't bore us at all. We loved hearing about all the little details like the lion statues and the rooftop figurines. Definitely recommended and thank you Helen!
