5 star tour
I toured with my wife, 15 year old son and 81 year old mom with tour guide manna. It was a great tour through Beijing. We saw all the sights. Manna was really accommodating for the entire group catering to all our requests. We were driven around in new and clean vehicles with courteous driver. Manna was knowledgeable with all the history delivered in fluent English. The lunches were well planned and food was good. This is a must do private tour.

Awesome Visit to the Summer Palace and Great Wall of China
We took the two days tour with Lisa. Our guide Lisa was extremely professional La and knowledgeable. She explained all about the history of the sites we located. She was also very attentive to our needs and safety. The car that took us every where was very comfortable. The driver was very on time and we did not have to wait. We got to try the Beijing duck which was amazing. At the great wall of China we also got to try the local grilled rainbow trout which was delicious too!

Great Experience!
I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a very long time and Lucy made my experience amazing! Lucy met me at my hotel on time, provided excellent teachings about the history, guided the group seamlessly, and supported everyone with anything they needed. I’m really happy about my experience. 10/10

Ranee will give you a great tour!
The Forbidden City is huge and full of history and artifacts. You need a guide like Ranee to lead you through everything, like the fastest way to get in, to learn about the different dynasties that built and maintained the City, and the many facts and back stories. Honestly, a few hours isn’t enough but Ranee gave us plenty of knowledge! Her experience comes through and we recommend Ranee to be your guide!

How to get there
When to visit

Choose between standard entrance Forbidden City (Palace Museum) tickets and city tours that include access to the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace.
For a more personal experience of the Forbidden City and other Beijing highlights, choose a private tour.
As many as 80,000 people visit the Forbidden City daily, so it’s best to book tickets several days in advance or book Forbidden City (Palace Museum) tours that include skip-the-line access.
The Forbidden City offers little shade, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water if visiting on a warm day.
Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a fair amount of walking if you really want to explore the Forbidden City.
