Awesome booking service and museum, watch out for transportation - Jennifer was friendly and prompt as a guide for us family of three. We decided to visit the China national museum last min (literally the day before) and used this service, and they were still able to procure the tickets for us. Of note, many of Beijing sights now require booking like a week ahead.... honestly an uninviting way for international tourists but oh well. The museum is a must see for history buffs and honestly half a day isn't enough at all. Jennifer contacted us the night before (you will need wechat ID) for easier communications. We met up outside the museum. Of note, it's absolutely nuts to try to get there by taxi or didi since they can't drop you off in front of the museum. I would recommend taking the subway as the exit comes out right in front of its south gate. Jennifer was very patient in taking us through the exhibit and helped watch our kiddo as well. Overall the museum is awesome, just gotta get ready for super close contact with many many people. XD would consider their service again in future, esp if need help acquiring booking tickets.

A great day - We love museums and the National Museum is wonderful. We were only able to rush through one floor of the gorgeous building in the 4 hours we had for this part of the tour. The Ming tombs are interesting as an historical site, but there was little to see. We thought we might be able to see artifacts or visit inside, but it was all outside walking to/around the site. So, our primary takeaway - if you like museums, you can easily spend a whole day at the National Museum. Our guide Diana was wonderful. Her cheerful and attentive attitude made the whole day enjoyable. She was a great guide and really knew her way around the museum and sites.

Must visit place in China - Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about Chinese history and culture. They provided insightful commentary on the exhibits, making the vast collection more accessible and engaging. The guide's ability to contextualize artifacts within the broader narrative of Chinese history significantly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the exhibits.

National Museum of China, a must-see tour of Chinese culture - The National Museum of China is the largest museum in the world. It is only one road away from the Forbidden City. In front of the museum, you can see the magnificent Tiananmen Tower. The most amazing thing is that the museum records the civilization of each dynasty in China for 5,000 years, which is the best choice to understand Chinese culture.

It was a very nice tour with a very nice lunch and peaceful route. - The tour was very nice. I know it is not a popular route for those who have a short time to visit Beijing, but if you have time, I would definitely recommend this tour. You can get out of the crowd of the city and find the opportunity to visit very peaceful and quiet places. Our first two stops were quite pleasant and peaceful. Our last stop, the museum tour, was also nice. It is a nice tour for people who do not like to visit such large museums alone (I mean not having someone with you who does not explain, even if you have more than one friend), where you can focus your informative and interest-oriented guide on the sections you are interested in. Apart from these, lunch was included in this tour and the menu and restaurant selection was better than most of the tours I participated in during my China trip. There were many things on the menu but the highlight was Peking duck. A very nice restaurant was chosen where you can try Peking duck. The tour became more perfect with the food. My guide Andy was very attentive. He was very open and helpful in giving advice to make your Beijing trip even better after the end of the tour. Thanks for everything.

Great! - It was a fantastic and unbelievable day! Cathy with her 15 years guiding experience navigated us through Chinese history, traditions and culture. Her English is perfect while open and lovely style of guiding gives you unforgettable memories. We really recommend her for getting introduced to a China history.
