Excellent tour and overview of Chinese imperial history

We were picked up at our hotel on time, and Lisa, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and understandable. While visiting the sites, Lisa provided the history and context of each site and the culture of the time. Lunch was provided, which was very good, and off the menu (not a pre-planned "budget" meal). Lisa had the entrance tickets so that we did not have to stand in line for any sites. We enjoyed our time so much, we hired Lisa and a driver for a second day private tour.
