Great experience! - Our tour guide Lisa was great! She picked us up from our hotel in the morning, helped us navigate the hectic lines and security at Tiananmen Square, provided historical insight at the Forbidden City, and took us on a nice stroll through Jingshan Park! A very enriching experience

An unforgettable day with Marco - We started with a tour of the Forbidden city and finished at Tian’anmen Square. If we didn’t have Marco we would’ve been completely lost with the security checks and even getting a ticket. He took care of all of that for the group which meant it ran smooth. The tour was informative and Marco’s English is excellent. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure we understood and had time to ask questions. He was very friendly and approachable to ask and clarify information. He made sure we had regular breaks and opportunities for photos. The tour lasted around 3 hours for the Forbidden City and we were taken to all the main palaces inside. Once we finished there we headed over to Tian’anmen Square and again we relied on Marco to help us with the checks. He gave a tour around the square. I would recommend going in the afternoon to the square as the queues can be so long. But in the afternoon they are much better. Marco gave us some tips for restaurants in Beijing which was a great way to finish the tour. Super happy we had him for the day. Thank you Marco for a great day!

Marco is the best! - Marco took such wonderful care of us! Even though we arrived a little late to the tour, he kindly accommodated us and made sure we didn’t miss out. At the end, he even stayed back to show us Tiananmen Square, which was such a special bonus. His knowledge and insights are truly unmatched. We feel so grateful and fortunate to have experienced everything we did, despite our late start. Thank you, Marco, for making it such an incredible and memorable experience!

Wonderful tour guide Marko - We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide, Marko! Despite our delayed arrival due to travel difficulties, he patiently waited for us and immediately put us at ease before starting the tour. His deep knowledge of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square brought the sites to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. Marko went above and beyond to make the tour engaging, insightful and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend him!
