We had a fantastic time with our guide Alice. She picked up at our hotel and brought us in the core of the city. We visited the forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven where she told us many details about the history of the different dinasties, ancient China and current facts about the place. She also brought us for a tea ceremony and local delicious restaurant where we had a lovely lunch which for sure we would not be able to find by ourselves. We give our highest recommendation!
