Amazing tour!

Amazing service and great know of the things we saw. Huang was a fantastic tour guide! He was so kind to show us the tour and more!

Great tour, fantastic guide

Samuel_R, Jan 2025

The tour was fantastic and the price is more than fair! Linda guided us with so much care and gave us detailed information about everything. Also she is a really kind person. It was a great experience. We started at the meeting point, where she took us by bus to the Tiananmen Square entrance. From there we saw all the main points (with time for photos) and proceeded to the Palace Museum (Forbidden City), where we took our time to do the planned route. More than explaining each part of the museum, Linda gave us insights on China’s history and society, and was very open to answer our questions. And we had many (we love to chat). Thank you Linda!

We had a great experiences visiting the Forbidden city with the kids today . Amber is a really GREAT guide and engaged very well through story telling with our kids . we all really enjoyed the tour and we found it very informative. The meeting point was easy to find and we started right on time . Highly recommended for anyone who would like to see the Forbidden City at their own pace and have a more tailored. Experience rather then joining a very latge group.. thank you . H

Everything perfect from meeting point to further support

Andreas_E, Jan 2024

During our stopover in Bejing, this tour was the perfect activity. Our guide Melodie showed us the most important places, explained very well and gave us an insight in the history of China. She spoke a well understandable English and gave us perfect answers to all our questions. Perfectly organised. On time. Good instructions to the meeting point. All that to a good prize! We really recommend this organization and our guide Melody. Thank you very much! Family from Switzerland.

Engaging tour of through time of forbidden city

Evan_E, Nov 2023

My guide Amber was GREAT! I had a wonderful day touring the Forbidden city and surrounding area. Amber was extremely knowledgeable about this history of the forbidden city and was able to link over 700 years of Chinese history to modern times in a fun and engaging way. She was punctual, a good communicator and very thoughtful. This tour was the better than any other I had while visiting china. Well worth the value, 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone with an interest in Chinese history, art, culture and current affairs.

Tolle Führung mit einer sehr kompetenten und sympathischen Führerin

Annette_R, Nov 2023

Unsere Führerin Harper war einfach toll! Sie wusste so viel, hatte ein exzellentes Englisch und wir konnten alle unsere Fragen loswerden. Am Ende hat sie uns noch ein kleines Restaurant empfohlen und bei der Bestellung geholfen, obwohl die Tour schon längst vorbei war! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!
