The Power of the American Passport - It was a strange situation: even though we couldn't obtain the QR codes required for entry—and despite the fact that no one at Viator seemed to consider that internet access is an issue in China—we simply walked up to the entrance, and upon seeing our American passports, they let us right in. I immediately realized that we had paid for tickets we didn't actually need. Once inside, we thoroughly enjoyed all the wonders found there.

Excellent Booking Experience! - Travel China Guide was an excellent resource for our 8 day trip in China. In addition to attraction tickets, they helped us with reliable train tickets all throughout the country, using passports and our planned itinerary. Not having to worry about our intercity transit made our trip much more enjoyable, especially as travelers with no Chinese language skills and only technology for translation.

It is a half day trip. Recommend to those who want to see Traditional chinese architecture and culture. - The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a stunning blend of history, architecture, and culture. Built in the 15th century, it was where emperors prayed for good harvests. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is especially impressive with its blue roof and intricate wooden design. The surrounding park is peaceful and lively, filled with locals practicing Tai Chi or playing music — a perfect mix of tradition and everyday life

Total confidence - Tickets purchased through this platform, without surcharge on official prices. They solve the problem of online shopping, where a Chinese phone number is needed.

Scam - I bought the ticket pack to the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, and a few days before the tour, they sent me a WhatsApp advising that they did not have to give me the tickets to the Forbidden City (I had to pay them again on the spot). I requested a partial refund (since we paid for both excursions) and was refused. Little seriousness and no responsibility. I don't recommend it.

Closed - Although entrance was allowed all the temples were closed . Which made it an absolute waste or time .
