A Warm and Welcoming Forbidden City Tour

5.00The tour exceeded expectations. We were a small group, so we moved through the Forbidden City efficiently, but with plenty of time for photos and stops for contextual information. Our tour guide, Susan, was outstanding. She was both very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. The tour was capped with a terrific tea ceremony. If this tour is indicative of the others the company offers, I would not hesitate to book another. From booking to completion, everything was smooth and easy. Thank you for a wonderful Beijing memory!
