Forbidden city review - We went to the Forbidden city with a group of friends, because we like to do our own thing, we went for the option without guide, but even then we could always contact the tour operator (Violet Ling) for help and she would answer our questions within minutes ! Very grateful and we highly recommend this if you want to visit the Forbidden city at your own pace !

Good luck during peak season - Do not make the mistake of purchasing a ticket for general entry. If you can pay the extra money, purchase a private tour. If you try general entry, chances are you won’t be able to get in at all. With multiple airport style security checkpoints in the area and many detours due to security lockdowns, we couldn’t even figure out how to get to the Forbidden City and completely missed the experience while walking around for 3 hours aimlessly in the hot sun. For all tours in Beijing, it’s worth purchasing the guided tour so you don’t have any setbacks.
