Interesting guided Palace tour - Mike was a wonderful guide! He is very helpful and his jokes are funny! Weather was the only bad thing, too hot and sunny. He was sweating so much leading us and giving us as much as he can when anyone asks any questions.

Great day at the Forbidden City - Mike was a great guide sharing lots of history about China and the Forbidden City. The size of our tour group was about a dozen people which made the experience pleasant. We were welcome to explore in our own after the tour but honestly we felt like the tour was pretty comprehensive. One other note, communication with Mubus was great. They contacted me a few days prior with every detail we needed to feel comfortable with our arrangements.
