Forbidden City with some human touch - The Forbidden City is amazing and it has a lot of history in it. Put me guide Linda has been able to take all of us inside the story, including lots of details that made the tour very engaging and with a nice human touch. She is very knowledgeable and speaks in a clear and understandable English. We really enjoyed the experience!

Amazing experience 😊 - Amazing experience! The Forbidden City is breathtaking – so much history and beauty in one place. Our tour guide Linda was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. Linda brought the whole place to life with stories and details we’d never notice on our own. Highly recommend both the site and the guided tour!

Good - Linda was good and patient, we had some late comers whom was able to join before we entered the forbidden city.
She also dropped a whatsapp message the day before to make sure we're aware of the arrangements, requesting an acknowledgement of receiving the message.
Learnt quite abit of the different areas and the thoughts behind the architecture. Linda was very assuring and accomodative, mentioning to others in the group of timings and if there's anything she can help to ensure they are able to meet their own travel timing plans. We over ran our tour timing as the crowd was big at entry and i had to leave earlier than the group. Had fun, remember to bring water, hat/ shades and good walking shoes.

Learn the history - Linda was a great guide. I’m glad I joined instead of visiting the Forbidden City alone because I would have missed out on tons of interesting stories and pieces of info that Linda shared as we walked.

Excellent Tour of Palace Museum (Forbidden City) - The tour was efficient and presented the highlights of the Palace Museum (Forbidden City). The tour lasted about 3-1/2 hours from meeting point to end of tour.
Linda was really friendly and had a nice sense of humor when telling the stories. Her personality was calm and delivery was comfortable and to my preference. She even provided direction on how to reach Jingshan Park and provided a lunch recommendation.
I highly recommend this tour of the Palace Museum and having Linda as your guide.

Awesome tour of the Forbidden City! - Linda was a brilliant tour guide, she spoke clearly and was very informative about the history of the Forbidden City. We were a family of 9 and were joined by another couple.
We only booked the day before but she contacted us promptly and helped us get the tickets on the day smoothly.
The headsets worked well and we were able to hear well despite the crowds around. There was a lot of ground to cover as the Forbidden City is massive. But the pace was good, we had enough time to appreciate each area and she held the attention of the 13 year olds. They enjoyed the descriptions of the various animals and their symbolisms in particular.
Linda also suggested good photo spots and made it a memorable family trip!
