Forbidden city tour - Our guide Bruce was outstanding, we chose English speaking guide who spoke fluent English. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable? With dates and the history. You will not be disappointed with this tour as it has been the best tour my husband and I have been on. It’s for the young and the elderly easy 8hours. Thanks again for such a great day. Oh and lunch was great too. Thank you. Tanya and Keith worth six stars for sure

A great tour to experience what Beijing has to offer - My tour of the Beijing classics was absolutely fantastic thanks to the guide, Mary. Despite the rain throughout the day, Mary's enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the history made the experience worthwhile. She didn't let the wet weather slow us down, and expertly guided us through the Summer Palace, Forbidden city and Temple of Heaven, sharing fascinating stories at every turn. I highly recommend Mary for an unforgettable day exploring Beijing's historic landmarks.

Unforgetable experience in Beijing - My husband and I have been positively surprised with the tour we decided to hire at the last minute! As our tour guide, Mary was tireless and very knowledgeable in explaining and showing us in detail each point of interest in the four places we were confortably taken to visit: Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven, with a nice stop at a tea shop, where we were taught about the different properties of chineses tea, and a Pearl marketing, same places where we had a nice buffet lunch! All in all, it was an unforgetable experience in Beijing!

Very poor and unorganised - Poor organisation of hotel pick up. Rude tour guide michale shi. I have food allergies and never even asked me. I was told by other guests they have peanuts or cooked in peanut oil so never ate

Poor organisation - The guide was really unhelpful and quite rude. He walked off well ahead of the group all day. We spent several times looking for him
