Smooth entry by passports - I bought just the tickets without guide. The entry was smooth using just passports. As long as you entered your passport numbers correct, all should be smooth.

Highly engaging and insightful - Really enjoyable tour. Appreciated the balance of history and the (sadly) limited time we had available. Excellent English spoken, as well as Putinghua (for my daughter). Highly recommended

Awesome tour and tourguide - Lingling is an awesome tourguide. Her English is very good and she really goes the extra mile for you. She even took us to as restaurant for some real Beijing cuisine after the tour was already over. Highly recommend you booking a tour with her when you’re in Beijing.

A must visit destination when in Beijing - The tour agency that have helped me arranged for the tickets to the forbidden city is very efficient and reliable. My family enjoy it very much. We are really very tired after a long walk and stair climbing. Will not recommend those who are not fit to walk. It is definitely a great experience to visit this big city.

Fabulous Guide - Linda explains to me everything about the Forbidden City, and after that, as she had no appointments went with me to a tea house. Fabulous experience both places! She’s the best!

Amazing Experience with a Fantastic Guide! - We had an incredible time in Beijing thanks to Ling Ling. She spoke great English, was super friendly, and really knew her stuff. She made every stop interesting and fun. One of the best parts was when she took us to a local restaurant to try a typical Beijing dish. It was something we wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and it made the experience even better. If you want a helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly guide, we highly recommend ling ling! She made our tour really unforgettable.

Great day in Beijing - The tour was great! Sofia was a great host and having a guide is essential to enjoy the day and understand a little more about local history. Worth the time and the money without a question!

Great and saves time - Great! Thanks to the indication about the entrance, we were able to save a lot of time and avoid going through Tianmen. There was a marathon in Tianmen, and the street around it was blocked by police. It was a real complication to try to pass near Tianmen; that area was horrible.
