Fraudulent ticket and company

Jia_N, Sep 2026

The museum stated that they could not allow entrance based on the ticket I received from this tour operator. The ticket was supposed to match my passport number and the ticket was no where close to matching my passport number and further the staff stated that they couldn’t accept it anyways because half of the numbers were blurred out. This is China with tons of security that can be hours that you have to go through before even getting to the long line with the ticket admission. A complete waste of time.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

We are truly sorry to hear about your terrible experience visiting the National Museum of China and the trouble caused at the entrance. Our service provides official pre‑booking under visitor’s passport information. We sincerely regret there was a mismatch issue that stopped your entry, as well as the blurred number problem you encountered. We understand how frustrating it was going through long security checks only to be denied access, and we take this matter very seriously. Our team will thoroughly review our booking and document‑issuing procedures to prevent similar incidents for future guests. Thank you for bringing this critical issue to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for ruining your museum visit.

National Museum of China

Adrian_C, May 2026

An incredible museum - by far the biggest and most impressive I’ve ever seen probably including London. Most importantly, it’s very difficult to get your own tickets for this museum so let Viator do it for you.

Response from Host, May 2026

Well worth a visit

louisepople, Apr 2026

Tickets hard to get for this museum but Viator got them no problem. Wonderful exhibits . Over 1 million. Concentrated on the basement for Chinese history. Well displayed, some English labels. Museum open and airy. Used disabled toilets as i can't use squat ones but i think western ones were available. Very busy but so vast so, not crowded. As always take passport. Entry to Tianemen square included in ticket. Lifts and escalators available as well as steps. No cafe open during our morning visit, drinks and snacks from a vending machine. Many people seemed to take their own. Good gift shops. Plenty of seating for tired legs. Well worth a visit.

Essential for last minute decisions

Juliana_V, May 2026

Entrance to the National Museum of China is free. So, theoretically, the service of an agency would not be necessary. But it's pretty hard to get a last minute entry. Maybe impossible. I was in Beijing and decided to visit the Museum from day to day and this option from Viator was perfect! I have used the service of this agency many times and I trust it very much. I am very grateful for the existence of this Viator package. Without it I would not have visited this wonderful museum!

A must see museum for Chinese art and culture

Luana_M, Apr 2026

A monumental museum about Chinese art and culture. From the Paleolithic period, through ancient China to Chinese Socialist Realism, you can see the treasures in bronze, ceramics, porcelain, enamel, painting, jade... A great panorama that helps to understand the history and high Chinese art. It is possible to rent an audio guide in English for the part of ancient China and there are exhibitions with texts in English. The entrance to the museum is free but I couldn't get the ticket through the museum's website, so I did it by Viator for a fairly affordable price. It is essential to carry a passport!
