          Great Time
          great guide with very good English I understood everything I felt very taken care of. Ten gentlemen had passion in his eyes, you can see that they love their presence such people full of positive energy, we were infected with a smile and great knowledge about the details of the entire forbidden city as well as history to incredible how nice we spent time and enriched ourselves scientifically historically, that we could convey that such People, which is used to apply in the Member State. the guide is a provided calligrapher, who at the end gave me his artistic painting for free. at the end he took us to a unique tasty Peking duck. it was a place where older gentlemen from China eat was that it is a local small pub with other residents. I would definitely not have ended up there myself. I am very grateful for this great time in the forbidden city and not only I recommend this trip to everyone. Jarosław Kowalczyk, Poland

          Fantastic Forbidden City Tour
          Jay is the best tour guide! My hus and I really enjoyed the 4 hours forbidden city tour. It was fun and educational. Btw, this tour might be more suitable for older children like 12 years old and above as it took abt 4 hours mostly outdoor. You may bring your little one but make sure he/she’s interested in Chinese history and can bear outdoor cold weather in Dec.

          Smooth ride! ❤️
          We loved the experience and the tour! The Summer Palace and the Great Wall were beautiful and not very full since it was a little cold. Sherry was our tour guide. She was puntual, communicative, friendly and looked out for us. Since it was a private tour, she provided recommendations according to our taste, time and schedule. Among them, an acrobatic show, that we loved. She scheduled everything for us and made our ride easy. Our driver, XiangYang, was with us on every stop and was very sharp as well. They made our day easy and smooth. We would definitely recommend this tour! 🙏🏼

          Scenic tour.
          Our tour guide Alice is very knowledgeable and she walked us thru the summer palace and old summer palace. There is nothing much to see at the old summer palace.

          Nicely presented tour in a relaxing pace
          Booked this tour a day prior and surprised how quick and easy it was to get a spot. Arrived late but Anson was very kind and patient in directing us where to meet. He was very knowledgeable and told us many historical events. Overall a nicely put together tour that I can recommend to all.

          Great Beijing experience 10/10!
          The trip was really great! Kevin our tour guide really is a professional tour guide and he made sure that we enjoy the tour. He explained everything in detail and organized. He even asked us every time if we needed to use the restroom. We’re glad to have Kevin as our tour guide. Hope to see him again in Beijing! ☺️

          Great Experience with MIKO
          The trip was amazing and entertaining. We were assigned to MIKO, who was very informative about the history of the Forbidden City. MIKO was very fluent in English, so we had no trouble understanding the information he provided. P.S. MIKO loves Kobe Bryant, so if you’re assigned to him, you’ll probably have a great conversation about basketball!!

          Very easy to follow, very engaging and overall fun experience
          Very easy to follow, very engaging and an overall fun experience. Wasn’t our first time in forbidden city but still amazed at how much we didn’t know from before. Miko is an AMAZING tour guide, very informative, very responsible and very funny 😂. Honestly it did not feel like 4 hours at all, and i wish we had more time even to see more stuff inside!
