This a highly recommendable tour of The Forbidden City. It is an amazing experience on it own, made truly rememberable with these tour organisers. I had Jay as my guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating and went the extra mile to make sure I saw and knew all about The Forbidden City by the end. It was my favourite monument I saw during my stay in Beijing.

Susan was a very nice guide. She is very knowledgeable and explained to me many interesting facts about the forbidden city. Going with a guided tour made me save time and hassle, because we went through the various check points much faster (the area is packed with tourists). I totally recommend this tour!
