Great Experience - The museum is very large and, on the day of our tour, extremely crowded. It would be possible to spend days at the museum seeing different exhibitions. Our tour with Mike fun, informative and in every respect excellent. We concentrated on the ancient historical section in the basement. Mike selected the most important and interesting pieces and made them come alive for us. We would highly recommend him to other people interested in exploring this museum. After the tour, Mike took us through Tiananmen Square and helped us get a taxi to our next location. An excellent experience!

Great tour of the museum - A ticket to the National Museum was like gold dust, so I decided to book this tour. My guide Cathy was so lovely, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She picked me up from my hotel and got a private car to the museum, the line to get into the museum was quick. Though the museum was really busy, Cathy knew all the most important artefacts and offered to take pictures of me in front of them. She answered any questions I had and was happy to explore other exhibitions in the museum with me. For anyone interested in history and wanting to visit this museum, I'd really recommend it!

Best tour possible 🇨🇳 - Cathy was the best tour guide possible. She gave us the best highlights of the museum with plenty of historical insights. We learned the China dynasty history and we feel that we know all the important facts. Cathy was also exited and smiley! Passionate for her country’s history. We were impressed with her performance. 100% recommended.
