Amazing Tour Guide + Explanations

5.00All I can really say is that Julia was a great and accommodating tour guide for the Forbidden City. She made sure you had your passport ready and she also had all our QR codes ready during the security checks to make entering Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square so much easier. Everywhere we went., Julia told us facts and explain so much of the history and importance of the relics/buildings in Forbidden City. If you are a history nerd, I really recommend having Julia as your tour guide here.
Amazing Guide and Perfectly Paced Tour of the Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square

5.00We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of both the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. He explained the historical significance of each site in a way that was easy to understand and made the experience much more meaningful. The tour was very well paced. We spent enough time exploring both locations without ever feeling rushed, while still covering all the major highlights. The small group size also made it easy to ask questions and interact with the guide. We absolutely loved visiting both places and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Beijing’s history and culture. A truly memorable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Linda a great professional and a must book visit!
