Had a great time with Mike, would highly recommend him as English tour guide - Very good experience! We had a great time with Mike as our English tour guide. He spoke great English and was able to answer all of our questions. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the entire exhibit and its historical context. We especially appreciated his well researched stories about the artifacts' backgrounds. His choices for artifacts of historical significance to focus on also greatly enhanced our visit, so we can spend time on more interesting subjects. We would highly recommend Mike to other tourists looking for a personalized visit to the Chinese national museum.

A good time in the museum… - Our guide Cathy is a walking encyclopedia on Chinese history, the perfect companion for this tour. She does manage to select the important and most relevant artifacts to see in this mega museum. She’s also very chatty, cheerful and considerate. Thanks Cathy, had a good time!

China National Museum Tour - I met MIKE he was punctual. Meeting him was a relief. He took me to the destination THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. I was introduced to the Chinese Queue System a first for me. It moved quickly. At the museum I did not expect it to be so crowded but Mike patiently guided me and explained history in great detail. He exhibited a desire to ensure that I covered all the essentials. Highly recommended.

Superb tour with Mike! - Brilliant tour with Mike covering ancient to modern Chinese history! Mike picked us up at our hotel and took us in a taxi to the museum. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Chinese history and also gave us really interesting insights into Chinese society today. We were taken through the whole ancient exhibit, with an explanation of the importance of each key national treasure. We then finished in the exhibit about the communist revolution.
