The tour guide Yi Hongliang's explanation was very good, humorous and exciting. It was very convenient for friends in Taiwan that they did not have to make reservations for tickets. The Forbidden City is really worth a visit.

Overall, I was very satisfied! I really couldn't get tickets during the National Day holiday, but the tour group was reliable and I was able to book a ticket quickly. Bringing my mother to the Forbidden City still requires a tour guide, otherwise I wouldn't understand anything. I was very satisfied with the tour guide Zhang Guoxing's explanation! We were not the only ones in the group who praised his excellent explanation; his words were easy to understand, clear, and very concise. A very successful trip to Beijing~

We had a great experience taking the half-day tour of the Forbidden City. The tour guide, Mr. Zhang Guoxing, gave a very serious explanation. Many historical stories were told in a vivid and interesting way. The entire tour time was just right. We will definitely take part in it again if we have the chance in the future.
