Step into a living scroll of crimson and gold, where 9,999 rooms whisper tales of emperors and empires. Marble dragons guard vermilion gates, while saffron rooftops kiss clouds—a symphony of Ming grandeur frozen in time. Wander courtyards where history hums beneath jade-carved eaves, past murals alive with phoenix dances.

We took a tour of the Forbidden City with Mubus. We left from Jinyu Hutong at 12:30 on a Sunday. Our tour guide, Ping, was excellent - very knowledgeable and informative. She got us all going on time and made sure we saw as much as possible while we were there. She also had a good sense of humour! The tour operator was also well organised and communicated clearly with us beforehand (letting us know the meeting point, time, etc.) The Forbidden City itself was stunning, of course. All in all, my wife and I enjoyed this tour very much and would recommend it to others.

Linda is our guide. She is very knowledgeable & very professional. She bring us from the start of the tour to the end. In between while waiting in the queue to go into the attraction, Linda will wait together with all of us. She will tell us the history clearly. Overall, we really had a retirement. We highly recommend this tour.

This guided tour was fantastic! Our guide Ping was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the area.
Very interesting trip but long and tiring. Still super worth it.

It is a lot of walking and the crowds are immense. For you to see everything in 4 hours, you will run and the guide will push you to walk very fast. The trip was super nice and interesting. Though it was certainly intense. Please pick PING as guide. She was very funny and nice.
