What a fantastic tour! - What a fantastic tour! I have been on many historical tours around the world but this one was by far the best. I highly recommend taking this tour instead of going to the Forbidden City on your own. Our guide Miko was excellent from start to finish. The entire tour is about four hours long, but he kept us entertained with interesting historical info and stories, as well as interesting tidbits about modern Chinese culture. There was never a boring moment. I learned so much and was really impressed at Miko's knowledge and extensive English vocabulary. I also really liked the ear pieces we were given. It gave us the freedom to walk around and take pictures while still hearing what Miko was saying. This was especially helpful in the more crowded areas. Also, when you go on this tour you get a fast pass through the security checkpoints. This saves a lot of time because the lines are usually extremely long. Don't think twice - if you like history and culture, book this tour!
