We really enjoyed the half day tour with our excellent guide Cathy at the Capital Museum, she was an expert on Chinese history and culture. She provided detailed explainations and insights with deeply passion and enthusiasm. She was extremely competent and we had the opportunity to learn many interesting aspects of Chinese history in also a pleasant manner! Highly recommended tour with competent and kind Cathy.
Thank you to our lovely guide Kathy who was our guide at the Capital museum. She had an extensive knowledge and made the trip very interesting, we would never have learnt as much on our own. We were collected by car from the hotel making the journey very easy.
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
