5.00This was the best tour I could have possibly imagined, and Lisa from Carherine Lu tours was the perfect tour guide. She picked us up at the hotel, and handled all communication with the locals so that we had the best possible experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Tian’anmen square and the Forbidden City, and was able to answer all of our questions. I dont think there is a single known fact about the area that she hadn’t already memorized. She told great stories and made funny jokes, making for the best possible use of 4 hours. I cannot overstate how informative and engaging this tour was! Definitely recommend this tour to anyone that is thinking of visiting Tian’anmen square or the Forbidden City.
