5.00This tour was very easy to book through the Viator website. Our guide Susan promptly met us in our hotel lobby, and gave us a very thorough tour of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. She also took us to a great restaurant for lunch, and selected several delicious entrees for us to try (the chopped duck buns were particularly yummy)! This tour was billed as a mini group tour, but my partner and I were the only two that booked, so this really was like a private tour. Overall the guide was excellent and the tour very educational as it hits the highlights of several Beijing historic highlights. Definitely recommend.
The tour was surprisingly good. I have...

5.00The tour was surprisingly good. I have been to Forbidden City before, didn't really liked it, but with the info shared by the guide, it was more interesting. For this tour, a loads of walking in crowds involved, need to be prepared for it. The guide prepared bottles of water for each one, really thoughtful. I personally loved Temple of Heaven more than the city, less crowded and less buildings to see...
Overall, really good tour, plenty time of rest if you needed. Highly recommended!Excellent tour! The guide was very nice...

5.00Excellent tour! The guide was very nice and seemed to know everything about the forbidden city and the temple of heaven. There was only 3 of us in the group, was like a private tour. We spent more time in the city, explored 4 areas and two galleries. It was late for the afternoon schedule, so we had the Chinese fast food for lunch in pearl market, surprisingly good. The market was actually the place we planned to go, we spent more than 2 hours there and still felt not enough. The temple of heaven was good, but with this many of people, we couldn't really feel the sound effects in there.
We didn't book the acrobat show online, but we paid cash for it. And it was just amazing, loved the motorcycle and bike performances, worth every penny of it.
Overall, the tour was far beyond our expectation with this kind of price, the show is a bit expensive but totally worth it. I would highly recommend this tour, superb!
