Forbidden City Tour with Summer - Our tour of the Forbidden City with Summer was amazing. She was organized, friendly, and truly passionate about the history of the palace. Summer guided our group through each area at the perfect pace and pointed out details we would have easily missed on our own. She also gave us plenty of opportunities for photos. Her professionalism and kindness made the entire experience unforgettable! I highly recommend her as a guide.

Chinese History and Forbidden City - Great way to experience the Forbidden City. We only had about 9 hours in Beijing and decided to make the most of it. We booked the day before and went straight to the meeting spot once we landed. Our guide Summer was very helpful and knowledgable regarding this amazing place and Chinese history. Thanks a lot for the great tour.
