Thank you William for a great tour. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of the Palace, the stories brought the history to life. Thank you for sharing your own personal stories visiting Tianamen as a child and about your family. I will see you next time for another tour.

Our tour with Sherry was amazing! She walked us through all the unfamiliar lines, and pointed out the significance and symbolism of countless aspects of the palace that would have gone right over our heads otherwise.
