Nice evening - We like to experience authentic food and cultural shows so booked this tour. We really enjoyed the entertainment and the food was plentiful. Afterwards, we had a driving night tour of some of the main sites. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I recommend it nonetheless.

BaJiaDaYuan and night sightseeing - I have decided to take up this tour as it would provide the ambience and vibes of the emperor’s dinning experience, coupled with traditional shows i.e 变脸, high pitch singing and dancing. Whilst the food was dished on very nice porcelain plates to simulate emperor’s dinning, the highlight was the tour around the palace. The staff were dressed as 格格 and were very forthcoming to take photos. It was an awesome experience. My guide Angela was very knowledgeable and accommodating too. She had assisted me to take a couple of good videos and photos for my memories. She also helped me took very good photos at the 鸟巢and钉字塔。 Overall it is enjoyable and I would highly recommend this tour to others.

Felt like dining with ancient Chinese Emperor! What a very unique dinner experience! - The best dinner show in Beijing... great food, imperial treatment, and great cultural show including dance, face mask changing (same show as in Haidilao's), musician playing a traditional stringed instrument... felt like we were back in ancient China having dinner with the Emperor! Garden with lanterns and roses and laser lights added to the already magnificent ambience. Highly recommended experience if you visit Beijing. Kevin was our driver/tour guide and he helped us order our food. It was raining that night so we just cancelled the night tour. But the dinner experience made up for everything, that we were so impressed and very much satisfied that we just wanted to go back to the hotel and called it a day.

Beijing Imperial Dinning Experience with Night Tour - Our driver, Kevin, was awesome. Took us to dinner then a night tour of the city. Made our trip very pleasant. The Dining experience it self was good. They had a wedding the same night so we couldn't go to the main room where all the glory is in display. We missed it but still is a good experience

Imperial costumed restaurant dinner - We did this tour on our last night in Beijing. Glad we did it. Kevin, our driver, drove us to the restaurant in a nice Tesla, very comfortable. Kevin was a great driver, very polite and helpful. I gave 4 stars as I thought there would be some performances of Chinese opera/fast face changing shows during dinner, unfortunately Kevin told us the restaurant no longer does it (not sure if it was temporarily…) so was a little disappointed as it became kind of just a dinner in a private room. The restaurant staff all dressed in imperial costumes and were very polite and helpful and we did enjoy the dinner. Thanks Kevin and his boss was shouting us our drinks, coke and beer. Thank you. All in all, was nice but would make it a better experience if the performances are back on.
