Skip the stress, book here
I can’t recommend Sophia enough for anyone visiting the Forbidden City. She was incredibly informative and detailed, bringing each hall and courtyard to life with historical context and little-known facts. Honestly, trying to navigate the Forbidden City without a guide would have been overwhelming – there’s very limited information on-site about each location, and you’d miss so much of the story.
We were lucky to have a small group – just 6 people total, including my own group of 4. That made the experience feel personal and easygoing. Sophia also provided earpieces, so we could hear every word clearly even when there were crowds around.
Communication before the trip was excellent too. She coordinated everything seamlessly – from confirming passport numbers to arranging the meet-up location. Everything went smoothly.

Perfect amount of info tour
Sally was a great guide! She entertained us with stories and answered all of our questions throughout the tour. She gave us interesting information without overloading us. She also knew all the best spots for pictures and was more than happy to help take photos (which is super nice when you're a solo traveler.) I would definitely recommend adding this tour (especially by Sally) to your Beijing experience.

Covers so much in one day
Such a great tour, especially if you don’t have much time to spend in Beijing, we only had one day and chose to do this tour and we got to see so much. Our tour guide Lucy was amazing, she had so much knowledge about the history of the area and she really knew how to maximise our time and made sure we had a great experience.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience exploring the Forbidden City with Cindy. She was very knowledgeable and created an enjoyable experience for my father and I. She also got us into the Forbidden City quickly, which was helpful because the line can take 2 hours. We highly recommend this tour.

Private tour to the Great Wall
Shane was so amazing with me and my elder mother, very patient and attentive.
He helped us out in the rain through the Great Wall and gave us good recommendations for the trip, never rushed us.
On the way back we asked him to drop us off at a different location and there was no issues.
We’re very grateful and satisfied

Excellent Tour
My son and myself very much enjoyed our tour with Anson, we were taken to many food stops giving us a good understanding of local cuisine. Having a walk around the local Hutons was also very interesting.
I would totally recomend this tour, come hungry, there's alot of food.

Amazing experience for our 1st time in Beijing
Travelling with 3 young kids can be challenging, but this tour made everything so easy and enjoyable for us. Mr. Zhang (our driver) and our guide Jessie were incredibly professional, always on time, and so accommodating.
Jessie’s English was excellent, and she was amazing with our kids (ages 9, 6, and 4). She adjusted the pace perfectly for young families — no rushing, just lots of patience and understanding.
The food over both days was fantastic, and the kids genuinely loved every meal. Jessie also kept them engaged with stories and explanations they could actually understand, which made the experience even more memorable.
Highly recommend this tour for families with young kids — Jessie truly made the experience special for us!

A wonderful tour of the...
A wonderful tour of the Forbidden City with our guide Sonia. The whole process from booking until the end of the tour was well organised and seamless. Sonia was very kind and super knowledgeable. She was a great communicator and taught us so much about Beijing and Chinese history as well as about more modern life. Even though the area itself is very busy, she helped create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. It really enriched our visit of the capital and I would highly recommend.

Great day!!!
Jenny was exceptional and enthusiastically shared the history of China with us. She adeptly customized the tour and was very accommodating as some venues were closed due to a state visit. She is an outstanding ambassador for China and Chinese culture.

A great day out
Our guide was Maggie, she’s very knowledgeable & a fluent English speaker. She brought the history of the Great Wall & Summer Palace to life for us, connecting the history we learnt in the forbidden city 2 days before. You will gain so much more by having a guide, plus of course the local knowledge she shared with us all. The great wall is just that, great, an amazing feat of construction in a mountain top location, very well restored with stunning views. There’s a lot of steps but it’s so worth it & less crowded than the other common location to visit. We went up by chairlift, great views & chose the toboggan ride to come down, good fun! The summer palace is well worth a visit, the centre piece being the huge lake & the world’s longest corridor. Set in beautiful gardens, the summer residence of the Emporers. A great day with a great guide!

Easy, Efficient, Friendly
This was great! I was in Beijing on the busiest weekend of the year and the team made sure we left early enough to beat the crowds. Alvin was a great driver and acted as a guide all the way up to the wall. He helped me order some lunch and even made a pit stop at a tea house if I wanted.

This is a beautiful part...
This is a beautiful part of the wall to visit, offering a great 6km hike, and fewer crowds than parts of the wall closer to Beijing. Jackie was a great driver, and it was very convenient to hire someone if you’re short on time as this part of the wall is 2-2.5 hours from Beijing.
