What To Expect
Tiananmen Square
You can choose this site into your schedule: Tiananmen Square, also known as Tian’an Men Square can be translated to mean the Square of The Gate of Heavenly Peace. It is situated in the centre of Beijing City. It is the original gate of the Imperial Palace (more commonly known as the Forbidden City). Thousands of people come to the Square everyday. Tour guide will help for ticket reservation(at least one day in advance).
The Palace Museum
You can choose this site into your schedule: The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City in the West, or Gugong in Chinese, was the residence of the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911). Tour guide will walk with you to see all must-see places inside the palace museum and also you will be given some informaiton about history background. Note: The entrance ticket of Forbidden City is crazy busy during public holidays, so the ticket for tour guide is not 100% guaranteed, so you will visit Forbidden City on your own in that case, and the guide will wait you at exit.

5.00Last year we did the Mutianyu Great Wall Tour with Tony and co. and since it was a great experience, there was little question that when visiting the Forbidden City we will ask for the guidance of Jessica and once again she did not disappoint. Very interesting facts made the visit to this ancient place even better and skipping the lines was an added bonus. 2 for 2, so I highly recommend these guys to anyone.
