    We enjoyed our tour with Sonya today even though we had a late start. Sonya was very knowledgeable and told us some very interesting facts and stories about the palace, about Beijing and even about her own life. It made the line ups go by faster and the tour much more interesting than if we were to have gone on our own.

    Tony was a great guide. There were a lot of logistics with this, so I appreciated that he was able to take care of everything for us. I felt that the tour was well paced and he had some interesting stories along the way. It was super hot, and he got us waters, made sure we stayed in the shade, and gave us rest time, which I really appreciated!
