Marco was an excellent guide. He shared a wealth of information about the Forbidden City, including interesting facts and anecdotes. His English was fluent and understandable. I highly recommend visiting the site with him. For three and a half hours, he led us through the labyrinthine courtyards of the Forbidden City, never letting us get bored.

Linda Shi was excellent as our tour guide! She explained the history of the Forbidden City and the last Emperor of China. Too bad we came on the peak season and it’s very hot during the visit; remember to drink and bring lots of bottled water for hydration. We enjoyed the China’s vast history and the impressive immense huge kingdom just for one emperor when he was in power!
