Chinese citizens, including customers from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, need to reserve the tickets for the Palace Museum 7 days in advance. Once the tickets for the Palace Museum are sold out, it will be impossible to participate in this itinerary. In addition, according to the regulations of the Palace Museum, Chinese citizens can only choose to reserve tickets with their ID cards. Therefore, when making a reservation, it is necessary to submit the Chinese name and ID card number, and on the day of the tour, the submitted ID document must be presented to join the tour group.
In Peak season, the security checks at Tiananmen Square are particularly stringent. If the waiting time exceeds one hour, we recommend considering skip the square. Given the sweltering heat, waiting in line for an extended period increases the risk of heat - related illnesses. Additionally, spending too much time at the square could detract from your experience at the iconic Forbidden City, which is a highlight of our tour. Please keep this in mind as we plan our visit.
Tiananmen Square is a complimentary attraction, functioning as a tourist landmark and a political activity center. In case the square visit is unavailable due to political reasons or other unforeseen factors, no refund shall be issued for this part, given its free admission nature.

5.00I had a private tour with my tour guide, Jimmy. He was very friendly, helpful and informative and had extensive knowledge on everything related to the Forbidden City and Chinese history. He made my visit far superior than if I had gone without a guide. Highly recommend. Andrew

5.00Aurora, our guide, was very knowledgeable and did a great job showing us through Tian’anmen Square and the main sections of the forbidden city on our 4hr tour. We ended the tour within the city gates, which worked well for us as we were then free to explore on our own, have a late lunch in the Ice Cellar restaurant (food was good) and then visit the nearby park and pavilions before catching a DiDi back to the hotel. A tip: 4hrs goes by quickly so if you spend too much time taking pics etc early in the tour, you might end up rushing through the later sections, which are just as (if not more) interesting.

We visited the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, and Mina brought each location to life by sharing fascinating insights and highlighting key details we might have otherwise missed. Our driver was also excellent, navigating the busy streets of Beijing with great skill and professionalism. Overall, it was a smooth and memorable experience.

5.00Even though we were short on time as we had to go catch a train. Our tour guide Peter was great and was very good with answering all of our random questions about the forbidden city and China in general. There was a mishap with the meeting location which was our fault but we ended up skipping the Tiananmen Square and went straight to the Forbidden City. We had a good 1 -1.5hrs to walk around and view all of the main attractions such as the forecourts and emperors palace. We would 100% recommend booking this tour and would do so again if we are back in Beijing.
An unforgettable Great Wall Experience with Sandy

5.00We had a wonderful day trip to the Great Wall with Sandy. We met in the hotel lobby at 7:30 am, and the drive gave us plenty of time to ask questions and get to know her. This was especially enjoyable for our children (aged 7 and 12), who loved hearing about her experiences. Sandy is very well travelled, both within China and internationally, so there was never a dull moment. Our driver, Mr. Xiao, had an excellent vehicle and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Sandy had our tickets ready on arrival, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We took the chairlift up and the toboggan down, a highlight of the day! The boys were initially a little apprehensive but ended up loving it so much that they wanted to go again. Sandy’s knowledge of the Great Wall was exceptional. She shared fascinating details about each gate and watchtower, bringing the history to life. While we could have visited independently, it would not have been nearly as enriching or memorable without her guidance. The kids had an absolute blast and declared it their favourite attraction in China. We highly recommend Sandy for anyone looking for an informative, seamless, and truly unforgettable experience.

A perfect day in Beijing

5.00The whole day was an amazing experience. And the one who made it so was our guide: Cindy. Besides the educated information she provided to us, along with the little stories not so well known by others, she was very kind and helpful. Took care of us all the time, choosing the best areas for pictures and the least crowded entrances to the objectives of our visit - these are showing her great experience as a guide, a good guide. The Forbidden City is something unique, worth to be seen by all means. Also, the Temple of Heaven offers one of a kind experience and a beautiful view over the great city of Beijing. We had transportation included and the car was perfect, clean and modern. So, again, great experience and the perfect guide😍
Great, informative tour
