5.00Tony was an exceptional guide during our Forbidden City tour. His knowledge of the history, architecture, and fascinating stories behind every hall and courtyard truly brought the entire experience to life. What made the tour especially memorable was Tony’s ability to explain complex historical details in such an engaging and enjoyable way. He was patient, professional, and very attentive throughout, making sure we were comfortable and never rushed. His passion for Chinese history and culture was evident in every explanation, and it made visiting the Forbidden City far more meaningful than simply walking through it on our own. I highly recommend Tony to anyone visiting Beijing and wanting a deeper understanding of this incredible landmark. He turned a beautiful visit into an unforgettable experience.
