Amazing places, great guide - This trip was very worth it, despite the intense summer heat. In hindsight, we’d have brought umbrellas… or simply would have visited in a milder season. Marco, our guide, was the best. He shared very interesting commentary, made sure our group had some rest in the shade sometimes, and gave extra help with how to check in luggage before the visit to the Forbidden City. We had a great day!

Amazing tour, operator and guide - We did this half day tour on 27th July 2025. We cannot recommend it enough. We were met by the guide, Lucy, in our hotel lobby, Grand Hyatt Beijing, and then taken in a new air-conditioned Minivan to as close as one can get to Tiananmen Square in a vehicle. We were then shown the Square and went straight from there to the Forbidden City. There was nothing Lucy did not know. Her English was impeccable. Having such a knowledgeable guide really enhanced our enjoyment of these amazing sites. Due to an event outside everyone's control we needed to amend our booking slightly and Lily was incredibly helpful and facilitated this modification painlessly. This company and their guides are amazing. Don't hesitate- just book with them. You won't regret it.

Summer made a difference... - Summer made a difference for us as she is knowledgeable about the great history of of Tiananmen and the Forbidden City. In particular the daily ins & outs of the Emperor, Mother Empress and the entire layout of the Square, about the founder Maio, the residences of the past, present rulers. We particularly enjoyed the Imperial Garden.

Beautiful tour - Thank you for the wonderful tour for Jeffrey's Russian-speaking tourists. I recommend this guide for a combined tour of the squares in the Forbidden City. On our own, we wouldn't have gotten there that fast. It's 1,000%. Thanks again.

Great tour, perfect guide Rita - We've had a lovely day. Our guide Rita gave us a lot of information (in a very good English), not only about Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, but also historical and sightseeing ones. I highly recommand this tour, thank you Rita for your professionalism and kind way of introducing us in the greatness of the China present and past events!
