Tickets to the Forbidden City require a real-name reservation 7 days in advance and are easily sold out, so you are advised to book the tour at least 8 days before. Otherwise, international travelers will need to line up at the entrance to buy tickets.
We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. Sharpen your vigilance to avoid those tours with tourist traps including jade factory or tea ceremony that waste your sightseeing time.
We offer free pick-up within the Third Ring Road of Beijing, beyond which there will be an extra charge, so we suggest you book centrally located downtown hotels. Please get ready at the hotel lobby at least 5 minutes in advance of the pick-up time confirmed with you a day before. No-show is non-refundable.
Please provide the correct passport information for booking the real-name tickets. And make sure to carry the same identification when travelling; otherwise, you will be refused entry by the scenic areas.
Group Size: About 12 people. There are chances that 10% of the tour groups will exceed 12 people but we will make proper arrangements.
Departures are guaranteed with two persons in Mar to Nov and three persons in Dec to Feb.
Since the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays, we’ll arrange Summer Palace instead of Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City.

5.00The guide was Rocky. Amazing trip, amazing everything, highly recommend. Very professional, good speaking guide. It was deep dive into history, interesting topics to talk, excellent experience. Must have to have a look on china, its culture and history. It’s really pleasant to know that there are good guides that speak English clearly and are able to entertain. Rocky is really good, took pictures of every tourist in different spots, paid attention to everyone. It was really cool experience. Will do it again.

5.00Fun and easy experience. Picked us up at our hotel and assisted with purchasing tickets which made things a lot easier. Our guide Rocky brought his own camera and took photos the whole time which was great. He transferred all of the photos at the end of the tour and made sure we got photos at all the best spots.
