An amazing afternoon at in the forbidden city - Although we were a little late, Marco made every effort to ensure we found the group and then made us feel so welcome. We were made to feel special rather than tourists, and Marco's passion or Chinese history made the day perfect.

Lovely but patient - Lots of queue for access controls, but it's totally worth it. You have to be mentalized about the thousands of people inside.
