My family and I had the pleasure of joining a guided tour of the Forbidden City and it was truly an outstanding experience. Our tour guide, Marco did an excellent job bringing the history of the Forbidden City to life. Marco did an excellent job bringing the history of the Forbidden City to life. Marco guided us thoughtfully through the stories of the various dynasties and emperors, explaining not just historical facts but also the significance of the architecture, traditions and the power structures of imperial China. The explanations were clear, engaging and easy to follow. What stood out most was Marco's depth and knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing, if Marco is the guide. It was informative and exceptionally well delivered.

We went to the Forbidden City. It is a must if you are in Beijing, you can spend all day and still not see it all. Would go again. A mention to our guide Summer. She is fantastic. We booked the trip outside of our package trip. Summer's English was way better than that of our package tour guide. Turned up on time. She has obviously been to the Forbidden City lots of times, but used her knowledge of it to guide us through, allowing us maximum time to be there and still see all the places before they would close.

Sofia was extremely informative and we had a great tour. We were a small group and it was organised very well.
