You can not go to Beijing without visiting the Forbidden Palace, we walked a long way in the palace, but it worth walking, it's a real WOW attraction as it's huge and so much to see. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed the tour because after a guided tour, we were given adequate time to explore the place by ourselves. Also, Mano our tour leader, was very helpful and gave an excellent narration of the history and other important information abou..t the places that we visited. The schedule was not very hectic or tiring too.
We would like to go on another tour in the future, as well as recommend this particular tour to our friends too.Read full review
The Terracotta Warriors were amazing!! Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Her English skills were great, and she was very knowledgeable about all the features we saw. We enjoyed this tour!

Our tour guide Mano was simply outstanding. He was so knowledgeable and excited to share his knowledge with the group making the time on the bus a history lesson on wheels. The group was good for being on time and he always made sure to s..how us the meeting spots and let us know what to see, eat and such at every stop. The drive time was broken up with frequent stops which was nice. The bus was very nice, clean and comfortable. My only reason for the 4 star rating is the hotels were very average which for the price of the tour wasn’t a surprise. Overall, i found the tour informative, scenic and fun but would like more time in the cities we visited for a bit of exploring. It’s a great way to see lots of places in one trip but not enough time to get the full experience of each stop.Read full review
The overall experience was very good. But at the end they took us to a foot massage center (it was not free we have to give 20 Chinese yuan per person) and some Chinese doctor came. He inspected my wife by holding her hand for a while and t..old that she have some sleep and digestive problems. :-) He offered some medicine for 3 months for 4800 Chinese yuan. When I refused it he offered 50% discount also. It seems very fraud. I refused his offer and he disappointed got angry and went. It was a bad experience.Read full review
Very good tour, the tour guide Lily was friendly and knowledgeable, Tiananmen Square is very huge, and the imperial garden was one of the most important places as many special and well-cultivated plants were gathered. We enjoyed it very wel..l and be sure to comfortable shoes.Read full review
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and we learnt a lot of new things. The Forbidden City was delightful to see. So much history along with a tour guide who knew a lot, made the trip that much better.
We don't often do organised Tours but this was too much in one day to do ourselves. Our coach arrived on time at hotel and took us for a great day tour, lunch was better than expected, the Terracotta Warriors and museum were amazing, we enj..oyed this experience very much and would recommend this tour to anyone.Read full review
The tour was good on the whole. We were not very happy with the guide. He made some snide remarks when a certain group including us said that we were not interested in seeing the bull fighting arena at Ronda & when we did not want to go for.. the Flamenco dance & dinner as we had already done that in Barcelona. We are vegetarians so had no interest in taking the meal offer. A guide should not make embarrassing remarks & hurt the sentiments. After all its optional & he /she has no right to make anyone feel otherwise. Generally we were not happy. Then he did not take us to Balem Tower at Lisbon. We did ask him & he replied in the negative. So we took a hurried walk to the tower on our own. The itinerary should be fulfilled at all cost.
The bus was comfortable & the hotels too. We wish the hotels were ner the city so that it would be easy to find food.
I can recommend you to others but these things should be taken care of. On the whole we were satisfied.
Thank You.Read full review
100% Beijing Day Tour: Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall
By: Edna Soh | Wed Aug 07, 2019 at 02.01 AM
Fuss free, it was a small group tour of less than 10 when I joined in Jan 2019.
Lunch was included, it was simple but delicious.
Duration was just nice, didnt find it rushed. Timing that we got to Forbidden City was great too, we were.. there about 15mins before opening so we were the first few groups that got in. This was very helpful because you can see the crowd (domestic tourists) pouring in as it got later.Read full review
