Challenge getting to Main Forbidden City entrance and Tiananmen Square

5.00Things have changed since prior visits. Could have been because of National Congress meeting that day. Finding route to main entrance of Forbidden City and to Tiananmen Square was very difficult. Definitely need to book an appointment prior to going. Thankfully we had known based on other reviews. Our passport and visa were checked three times in trying to get there. Three different stops. Last stop. Bags were hand searched. Everything removed. Roll of electrical tape was confiscated.
Very Poor Service

1.00Don’t use this service. The company was super difficult to communicate with, instructions were poor, One of my party was initially refused entrance because there was a screwup in passport numbers. It is my recommendation that Viator drop this supplier immediately.
Worth buying in advance...

5.00Worth buying in advance to make process easier as communication is a problem. By booking in advance just need to scan passport on arrival.
Perfect day!
