Mr. Wang, 2 people, March 20-24, 2025

 

As a history enthusiast, the in-depth guided tour of Beijing was incredibly rewarding! The 3-hour in-depth tour of the Forbidden City not only explained the central axis but also took us to visit the East and West Six Palaces, revealing many little-known palace secrets that gave me a deeper understanding of Ming and Qing history. The explanation of the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) moved me to tears. With no shopping stops, the time was used effectively – this was a true cultural journey. It's definitely a top recommendation for Beijing travel, and I've already recommended it to all my history-loving friends.

I took my parents and children on a 5-day tour of Beijing, and the whole family was extremely satisfied! The small group of 12 people was perfect for family travel, and the tour guide was exceptionally patient and attentive to the children. The Great Wall cable car was a huge help, making it easy for both the elderly and children to reach the top. The Forbidden City's guided tour was lively and engaging; even my 5-year-old son listened with rapt attention. The itinerary was well-paced and not too tiring. As a Beijing tour group, the service quality exceeded my expectations; they truly deserve their reputation as a professional Beijing travel service provider. I will definitely choose them again next time I visit Beijing!
