Our guide, Lucy, was incredibly knowledgeable, and her English was flawless. We started our tour at Tiananmen Square, followed by a visit to the magnificent Forbidden City, one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We chose this tour partly because we wanted guaranteed tickets but also because having a guide explaining everything made the experience more enjoyable. On our way to the Ming Tombs, we made a stop at a jade shop (as part of the tour). Afterward, we had a buffet lunch and then the visit to the Dingling Tomb. Originally, the tour was scheduled to end with a drop-off at our hotel, but the guide offered to drop us off anywhere we wanted, so we opted for Wangfujing. Overall, I think it was a memorable experience.

We had a most wonderful and detailed tour of the Forbidden City & Ming Tombs this week. Our English speaking guide Andie was warm, friendly, caring, knowledgeable and informative. She met us with the car and driver at Tiananmen Square and took us around the sites at a gentle pace answering all our questions patiently. We also requested an unscheduled stop at a Jade factory which she accommodated around the lunch stop. The tour operator Lily has also been fantastic with accommodating us in this tour as well as another one (Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven & The Great Wall with Mae as the guide). She remained in communication all the way through the enquiry, planning and touring stages and provided detailed information ahead of the tour. These historic sites themselves are absolutely stunning in their exquisite architecture and rich history. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable trip made memorable by a great tour operator and guide.
