Excellent tour of forbidden city and Tiananmen Square. - Thank you for an outstanding tour experience of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Angela was congenial, knowledgeable, informative, and accommodating. Her own presentation reflected a deep understanding of Chinese history. Answers to questions reflected, and even deeper insight. Addition, Angela, new small but important things such as places to sit and stand during our conversations that offered cool and protection from a hot late June sun. The small group allowed for easy communication with Angela and with other members. We highly recommend this tour.

Crowded but worth it! - Forbidden City and T-Square were good places to visit. It was pretty crowded but still worth it. We had a few mishaps with the tour guide which was not ideal and made the tour not as enjoyable. But overall he was nice and informative. If going in the summer, be prepared for lots of heat, very little indoor time / shaded areas
