Unforgettable history and amazing sights

Two of the most iconic sites in Beijing, the ability to see both Tianaman Square and the Forbidden City was amazing. Our Tour Guide Jeoffrey had an amazing grasp of the history and historic meaning of the many locations we saw. He explained everything to us, and gave the group the choices of spending more time at particular locations or moving forward and seeing more. Pick up instructions were clear and at the end of the tour he gave us all the choice of staying in the Forbidden City longer or concluding the tour. Definitely have no hesitation recommending this tour option and Jeoffrey as your guide Chris & Michelle Fleming New Zealand
