Great tour! - Really nice and comprehensive tour. Easy to follow and interesting. They also took us across different slightly less crowded sections to look at details and take some nice photos. Recommended! A special shout out to Sophia was a really good tour guide.

Superb Amazing Sophia - We have Sophia as our tour guide for this Forbidden City Tour. We are impressed by her patience, passionate about the history of Forbidden City. She is able to explain the culture & background information about the artefacts, displays base on whichever area we tour around. My family enjoyed her company and definitely we will look for her when we come to china again.

Wear comfortable shoes - I resorted to booking this tour the day before because it was impossible to get tickets from the official site (The Palace Museum). This is sadly just the way things are done here, I guess. Although I paid a little more, i felt that it was well worth the money spent, especially since my tour guide, 一茗, proved to be very energetic and knowledgeable. She led our little tour group for a very informative 3 hours.
The starting point was a little tricky for me to locate because for some reason, Apple Maps led me to a car park instead of the front of the hotel. Perhaps gps coordinates should be shared as well to help future customers.
Nevertheless, I would recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking of signing up. You won’t regret it.

Great tour by Maggie - While the Forbidden City itself is a breathtaking experience, Maggie made it even more fun by explaining all the details, down to the rain drain and the meaning of the number of animals on the top. I can only recommend a tour with her. A very joyful and insightful experience. Thank you again!
