A very informative and enjoyable day! - Our guide, Summer, was super sweet and very knowledgeable. Having Summer explain to us so many interesting facts about the Forbidden City made our day into an enjoyable history lesson. We are very happy that we chose this tour rather than going on our own. Thank you!

Excellent tour guide - Renny - The Forbidden City is very rich in history, beauty and incredible architecture. It's too worth the walk. In addition to the landscape, our tour guide Renny helped to further improve the tour. Her English is very easy to understand and she tells many details about the Forbidden City during the tour. It's very worth it.

Guided visit - The guide was great, the correct thing is to schedule in advance the purchase of tickets, which would even give to do by the official website, as I did not, we stayed a good time in line to buy the ticket, but in the end everything was good...recommend

Memorable day in forbidden city - The official ticket has been finished but they managed to get our tickets at the entrance. The tour guide was friendly and funny, and he guided us well inside the city to visit the most important places there. however sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying because of the Chinese accent. Overall if you couldn't reserve tickets from official website, it's the best way.
