Amazing experience in a magical place - We did the tour with Alba and it was amazing. It has a lot of information about the forbidden city, its level of Spanish is magnificent and it is also super nice. Super recommended experience if you want to soak up Chinese history and culture in this beautiful place. He also helped us with some management that we could not do because we did not know Chinese. 10/10!

Amazing experience in Spanish - I and my friend made the excursion to the Forbidden City and we can not be more grateful for the experience. From the start, the deal was spotless and very close. Everything was organized into detail, allowing them to calmly enjoy every corner of this historic place. A special mention for Alba, who was friendly, professional and super attentive throughout. He made sure they were comfortable, didn’t miss anything and conveyed his passion for the history of the place in a clear and exciting way. Nice to have you as our guide! Everything was amazing, both the tour and the organization. 100% recommended!

Amazing (and essential!) Forbidden City Tour - I recently visited Beijing and visiting the Forbidden City had always been one of my dreams. Doing some research right away I realized that doing it with guidance was the only way not to get lost in such an immense and incredible place. And wow if I was right! It is huge! and only with the guide I was able to enjoy and learn the almost infinite amount of details and wonders that the city has forbidden. I do not speak Chinese and my English is limited but the guide spoke perfect Spanish! Quite a pleasant surprise to find this tour. He sent me all the information in advance on whatsapp, along with step-by-step instructions on how to locate it. Really all very professional. She knows the history of her country and enjoys sharing it. You learn a lot on this tour. The guide really went off course for the group, the girl was quite a charmer and was delighted to answer all our questions. In addition we knew the terrain perfectly, always avoiding crowds and looking for the best places to take pictures. And the best, small group and we all spoke Spanish, so it also helped me to find other travelers. Essential!
