Traveler reviews
Food was great, amazing show
Didn't understand a word of the show but it was excellent and I loved every minute! The food was great and our guide Sofia was amazing. She made sure we knew exactly what was going on at every moment and was there to help when we needed it! Also the grounds of the restaurant are just magical!!
Dinner and experience was fantastic
Sofia was our guide and did a fantastic job! Restaurant was very good and the show was fantastic with traditional dancing
Recommended but only with Wendy
We booked the Beijing Imperial Dining experience, dreaming of feeling like emperors… and ended up slightly confused nobles instead. They changed our date (maybe the emperor wasn’t available?), and although we asked for a Spanish tour, we got the English one — so let’s just say the “organization department” might need a royal shake-up. BUT—and this is a huge BUT—our guide Wendy was absolutely amazing. If Wendy ran the empire, everything would be on time, in perfect Spanish, and we’d probably all get free dumplings. She was funny, kind, super knowledgeable, and made the whole experience 1000x better. So yeah, the schedule might be chaos, but Wendy is the Empress of Tours. 👑
Great experience with a great tour guide- makes it all better
Sofia was an amazing guide and more!!! She was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She went above and beyond. Not only did she do a great job with the tour, but helped connect us to additional items we wanted experience. She is a true tour guide who is knowledgeable, personable and kind. Highly recommended.
