Very interesting place and the tour
Maria_K
, Oct 2019
I liked the tour a lot, and it was really interesting to learn about the history and customs of the China royal dinasties. On the day, part of the palace had been closed for some time, but the guide quickly rearranged the path so that we could keep enjoying our time. Good job!

Not worth 4.5 hours

While our tour guide was extremely nice, the tour lacked in information. I didn’t really learn much other than a few stats I could have looked up online (and a bit about the emperors’ concubines, which got repetitive). It was extremely long but I didn’t feel like I really explored much.

Amazing tour guide

Gustavo was an amazing tour guide who is very knowledgeable about the Forbidden City and the histories and stories behind it. In addition, he provided us with information about other tourist attractions in Beijing, in particular the Great Wall, and gave us his recommendations, which I truly appreciated! Would highly recommend! It was a wonderful experience.

Gustavo was GREAT! First class knowledge!

It was very clear that Gustavo was very passionate about history and the intricate symbolism spotted everywhere throughout the Forbidden City tour - his knowledge was first class! I would highly recommend this tour. A lot of friends have visited without a tour guide, and whilst they can appreciate the beauty of the city they were not aware of the purpose of the buildings as well as the meaning in the detail.

We had a great time exploring the Forbidden City with our guide Gustavo. He was very passionate and knowledgable about the architecture and history of the palace and made us eager to learn more. Highly recommend! It is a long tour so I suggest bringing snacks in case you get hungry.

Knowledgeable Guide

My guide, Anne was very knowledgeable and gave me accounts and details of the history that happened within and beyond the four walls of forbidden city. She was also very helpful and friendly. Would have been a 5 star rating if the tour operator was more proactive in reaching out to me and connecting me with my guide. I had to send prompts several times.
