Recommended. We went during the peak period, so we were afraid that we couldn't get a ticket. But with this package we got the ticket within 1 day of booking. Great experience. Just scan your passport and enter.

The tour guide with Lilia is amazing! She is really kind and provides a lot of information. She is also available to support with great tips on where to eat/what to do next. Plus, you will not leave the place without any pictures; she is a great photographer too! Really really suggested taking this tour guide for the Forbidden City!

Easy way to get tickets, helpful customer service. Would recommend you paying extra for a guide there or on trip, but for the ticket purchase alone this service worked well.
Product details

Option 1 : If you're only booking tickets, a guide is not included.

Forbidden City Ticket Prices: Low Season (Nov 1 – Mar 31): 40 RMB.Peak Season (Apr 1 – Oct 30): 60 RMB, but Booking Forbidden City tickets can be very challenging, especially during peak season when they sell out within 5 minutes. That's why we charge a service fee in addition to the ticket price—we handle the booking for you. If you don't book in advance, you may have to wait over an hour in line to buy tickets during peak season. Our service saves you time and ensures you get a ticket. When you see a higher price, it includes both the ticket cost and our booking service fee.

Option 2: If you book private tour( guide + tickets) , it will include private guide and tickets( but if you do not book 7 days in advance ,you may need wait in line to buy tickets by yourself) , the option  we do not provide private transfers, your guide will assist you in taking a taxi to the Forbidden City. Please note that the taxi fare is at your own expense. Also, please be aware that this private tour does not include a visit to Tiananmen Square. Please ensure your passport details are correct when booking the private tour. The tour includes admission to the Forbidden City, but availability isn't guaranteed. It's advisable to plan your visit to the Forbidden City on your first or second day in Beijing, rather than leaving it for the last day. (If tickets/tour are not purchased 7 days in advance, you will need to buy your own ticket and wait in line.)

We'll arrange afternoon tickets for the Forbidden City, allowing entry after 11:00 am until it closes at 17:00. This still provides ample time for your visit. During the Private Forbidden City tour, your guide will delve into its rich history for 2-3 hours. If you wish to stay longer, you're welcome to explore on your own.
