Lee our tour guide was super nice, attentive and knowledgeable. Also Michael, our tour guide for the Forbidden City. Besides the main spots mentioned in the tour, they also took us before lunch to a tea house for a tea ceremony with tea tasting and later in the afternoon to an Institute of Chinese medicine for a small talk, a free foot massage and a consultation according by a Chinese medicine specialist. It was really fun and interesting!

Instead of spending more time at the places mentioned in the itinerary, we spent more time at shopping locations that were not even listed. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. The best part of the trip was the guide; he was funny and entertained us.

Michael was a wonderful tour guide. Always thoughtful and considering the group and individual persons needs. The forbidden city was great to view from a Birds Eye view. Book early so you can bet the forbidden city tickets

The visit was, but included two stops which were not listed in the La Vacanza Travel - these were a visit to a tea shop and to a pearl shop - and these delayed the arrival at the Summer palace. For this reason, part of the palace closed when we arrived and we could not visit. Quite unfortunate!

We decided to make the reservation with La Vacanza Travel because WE didnt have tickets for the Forbidden City (try to buy them AT least one day before your visit) ans We thought We could get them with the tour. If you are in the same situation, It doesn't work. . WE visited a Park instead of the Forbidden city. The change was acceptable. However they didn't purchase us the difference between the 2 tickets (obviously the Park ticket was cheaper). The visits to the different places were so Quick that: 1 WE didnt have enough Time to see the places ans 2 the guide didn't explain us ANYTHING about the History and background of the places. Furthermore, we had a tea ceremony and a consultation with a traditional chinese doctor with only an economic interest. Not AT all with a formative purpose. WE are so DISSAPOINTED with the tour. WE wouldnt never do It again. Our lonely Planet gave us more information of the different places than the guide. The transfers were the only good thing
