Great tour of forbidden city - Anjela was a very nice tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. She could answer all questions about culture and history. She has travelled far and knows western culture, so she knows what information is interesting or surprising to us. It was a lot of fun.

An awesome guided tour throughout the Forbidden Palace - Sophia was clear and coherent with her explanation. The whole tour was about 3.5hours, you should join if you have half day free. Had a great time and definitely recommend to everyone.

A Day at the Forbidden City: Exploring History and Architecture - Ah yes! I finally went to the Forbidden City! So huge, literally went the whole day in there haha. Early in the morning I rented a suit and then, the tour guide immediately brought me to Forbidden City and had adorable freshness over there. I am impressed to the Over abundance of Parks, Buildings, Entrances Rooms walls and so many other architectural marvels in Forbidden City. The tour guide told me lots of history that we captured in photos and I did bring my phone for that! For more pictures on my blog I will share!
