This tour covered a lot of ground in a single day! I can’t imagine having to navigate the HUGE crowds of Tianeman square and MASSIVE grounds of the Forbidden Palace without a guide or native Chinese speaker. Gary was a helpful guide and very knowledgeable. He also did well to avoid the crowds, which was much appreciated, although sometimes he would wait elsewhere and send us into the crowds alone and it was difficult to find him afterward. We took his suggestion to stop at a tea factory that was a nice bonus— they were trying to promote and sell their product pretty hard, but I can’t blame them after a free 25 minute free tea ceremony/ tasting. The lunch was great, although it was relatively restricted options (pick between two dishes, extra charge for Peking duck; only water for drink). Overall, would recommend the visit and this tour!

Great trip

Had a great guide called Dean who was very informative and helpful whilst on our tour. Unfortunately Forbidden City is closed on Mondays (which we didn’t realise before hand) but Dean took us to the Lama Temple with the amazing tallest Buddha in the world.
Awesome Tour Guide!

My family (adult kids) and I just came back from spending a week in Beijing. One of the highlights of our trip was our private tour to Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. We feel very fortunate to have had Dean Wu for our guide. Not only was Dean extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but he was patient and kind. We learned so much history and also got an insight into life as a young person living in Beijing. We had such great conversations in the van as we were traveling from site to site. He welcomed our questions. Tiananmen Square was closed in the morning, but Dean seamlessly rearranged our schedule so that we could visit it in the afternoon. For lunch he took us to a favorite restaurant and ordered for us his favorite foods. It was a real treat! After completing the tour which went longer because of the Tiananmen Square closure, he asked if we would like to do a tea tasting and learn calligraphy, extra activities that were not included in the tour. Of course we said yes. It was a great way to end the day! I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are fortunate to have Dean as your guide.
