5.00Firstly, shout out to Johnny who was our excellent tour guide, very friendly, informative with great English skills. The tour itself was very interesting. Understanding the history behind some of Beijings biggest tourist attractions. We were very lucky and the queues and crowds were small but had a lovely sunny day This is a walking tour and you will do lots of steps. If you're comfortable being on your feet all day doing 20k steps you will thoroughly enjoy this tour. If you struggle with lots of walking maybe look for something else.

5.00This was such a great find as I was specifically looking for a tour that took us to Tiananmen, Forbidden City and Jingshan Park. Lea, the coordinator, was just the friendliest and the most responsive leading up to our tour and helped to address my many questions. She also joined us on the day of and shared recommendations with me and my friend. Jenna, who was our guide for the day, was knowledgeable and personable. She kept us engaged with the history and stories of the Forbidden City. Having a private tour is worth every penny as entry was seamless and though at such crowded sites, we were still able to learn and explore at our own pace. This is highly recommended.

Our guide LuoChao was excellent—knowledgeable and engaging, his explanations made every corner of the Forbidden City come alive. The Forbidden City itself is full of grandeur and history. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing!
