Great experience -
We went on a tour with Aaron to the Forbidden City, and we had an amazing time. After the start, he gave us a good introduction of the city Beijing in ancient times. He got us trough the entrance gates in no time, and was very knowledgable on all aspects of the city and its former inhabitants. We had plenty of time to take pictures and didn’t feel rushed.
We have had a great tour, and would definitely encourage every visitor to join.

Great guide, good experience - Can absolutely recommend. It's the only Forbidden City tour where i found the price to be fair. Had a great tour guide who knew everything, and who calmly knew how to navigate around the tourist crowds.

Your search has ended- book this tour for the Forbidden City - We do not speak any Chinese and were worried that navigating entry into the Forbidden Cjty would be difficult. Luckily we found this tour. The reviews are accurate - this is a great tour. We had an absolutely fantastic time visiting the Forbidden City. Our guide Aaron was friendly, informative and enthusiastic. He provided in depth historical information about each area of the Forbidden City complex that we visited, and he also had wonderful practical advice -from where to get the best photographs to where the toilets were. Aaron spoke impeccable English and was able to guide our group effortlessly through the crowds and security checks. We had a fun time and cannot recommend this tour or our guide Aaron enough!

A great tour trip to the The Forbidden Palace - Very informative tour guide! Linda was very detailed and happy to answer many questions :) I highly recommend Linda, as the Forbidden Palace is very vast and confusing, really felt like I understood an integral part of Chinese history.

Great experience, would definitely choose again! - We had a great tour with Claire as our guide. The forbidden city is much bigger than we were expecting and she was really good at keeping spirits up when we were hot and tired. She had lots of interesting information on the forbidden city and treasure museum, and helped us to find and learn things we never would have without her. She had a great sense of humour and we really enjoyed our day out. We would definitely recommend to people wanting to learn more about the builds and history of this significant site!
