    Time: 9:15-11:45 The Forbidden City is the largest imperial palace in the world, home to 24 emperors in the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) Dynasties. It was built in 1420, about 70 years before Columbus discovered America and 144 years before the birth of William Shakespeare.You'll meet your Forbidden City presenter at the East Flower Gate for a brief introduction and your presenter will show you about 19 spots in the Forbidden City to deeply discover the secrets of the Forbidden City.

We did a 4 hour tour with Cactus, who was a great tour guide, with loads of information while also keeping our two children engaged and interested. Nothing was too much, and she helped us with restaurant recommendations for the evening. A big thanks to Cactus for making our first day in China a big success!

It was a very cold Beijing winter but our tour guide, Cactus made it a very memorable experience. She was very insightful and knowledgeable in regard to the complicated Chinese Dynasties. Cactus was very helpful and empathetic to our needs. She was fluent and articulated. Getting to the meeting point was a breeze via the well organised Beijing Metro without the traffic jam. We would recommend the tour as a highlight to the city of Beijing.

I had no idea how vast the Forbidden City is! Wow. It’s overwhelming in its size. Without our guide, William, we would have been wandering around. He knew exactly where to go. And shared amazing historical insight. It helped my children (11,12) really embrace it! This is not just “one more temple or pagoda” as your kids might say. This was just incredible. Thanks, William! We will definitely be recommending you and this tour to our friends.
