Traveling back in time to Relive the Chinese History

We took this tour on a very hot day in June 2025. To avoid the peak hours in Tiananmen Square our tour pick up was pre-poned but we were informed well in advance for that. There is a long queue at the Tiananmen Square and if you are visiting in peak summer then keep yourself hydrated. The forbidden city is very crowded but it’s a very different experience. We also visited the Temple of Heaven and the Summer palace. Both these place have a very rich cultural history and it feels you have travelled back in time. The tour is bit tiring as we cover a lot in a small time frame but it’s worth the long hours if you are on a time crunch. Our tour guide Jenny was superb. She was very understanding and organized and made sure the whole group stayed together and she went out of her way to make sure we were all properly hydrated in such a hot day in June. She was very knowledgeable about the Chinese history and shared her knowledge with the group and made us familiar with this rich culture. The tour included a buffet lunch as well and Jenny made sure that all the members were well fed and took their lunch on time. I would really recommend this tour and if you are lucky you will get Jenny as your tour guide. Thanks

It was a well organized tour .The tour guide Mr.Michael was excellent, with very good knowledge about the history of all the places visited. He had planned in such a way that we were not tired even after we covered around 7 hours of the tour. Gave us ample time for ourselves to move around and explore places.

Communication was easy prior to pickup at our hotel and driver and guide were early. We spent adequate time at each place. We packed a lot into one day. The buffet lunch was nice so we could try different foods. You do walk through a sales area for pearls prior to lunch but you are not hassled. We really enjoyed our guide Le, he was funny and told us interesting information at each location.
