5.00Mary was a very nice tour guide who spoke great English. Booking a tour of the square/ forbidden city is definitely worth it if just for the fact that the tour group queue and security is WAY quicker than the individual tickets one. All in all a great day out. Thank you to Mary

5.00This was a very historically informative and thorough experience. Vanessa ran the group through centuries of architectural, empirical, and nature-related knowledge in a digestible format while also providing the group with adequate sporadic breaks. This experience is a great introduction for understanding how China got to where it is today.
Worth it!

5.00I came solo but had a lovely guided tour in a smaller group with the guide Ping. The Forbidden City was very interested and Ping told us the full story in such an exciting and knowledgeable way. Ping is local so she really knew everything and was happy and smiling all hours. Thank you, Ping!
