Our guide Vivian was great and spent extra time with the group. The stories were great and she knew her history well. She knew all the best picture spots too. Taking taxied from the palace to your hotel was impossible so have some small bills and be ready to jump on the subway (it was easy for anyone that’s taken a subway anywhere in the world.).

We booked a 4-hour tour of the Forbidden City with Anson, and it was a perfect day. Walking through the Forbidden City while listening to its history was truly delightful. Anson shared a wealth of historical facts and eagerly answered all our questions. He guided us to some stunning corners of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, both of which left us breathless. Thank you, Anson, for making this experience so wonderful.

Had an excellent time w Miko as our tour guide. You’ll learn a lot of history without getting bored as he kept it interactive. Good solo and group fotos as well

Viviene made the walk interesting. But be ready to walk more than 10,000 steps. And many many people, though it is off season. So it was good to have a guide to navigate us.
