**Review: Forbidden City Guided Tour** If you're considering a trip to the Forbidden City, I strongly recommend taking a guided tour, especially if navigating through the crowds and control points seems daunting. As someone who isn't usually fond of organized tours, this experience was a delightful surprise that made visiting this iconic site so much easier and more enjoyable. Our tour guide was exceptional, with excellent command of English and a pace that suited our small group perfectly. He was very knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the history and architecture of the Forbidden City that kept us all engaged. There was never a dull moment, thanks to his lively and informative storytelling. The tour itself is well-suited for families; children from the age of 10 and up would find it engaging and manageable. However, good walking shoes are a must—there's a lot of ground to cover. Also, be aware that large luggage isn't allowed, though normal backpacks are fine. Paper and pen are also not permitted, so be prepared to soak up the information as you go. Most importantly, you must bring your actual passport, not just a photocopy, for entry. We benefitted greatly from the tour's organization, which included skipping all the usual lines and smoothly navigating through several control points with the help of earpieces provided by our guide. For anyone hesitant about booking a tour, I can say from experience that it really does make a difference. This tour not only provided a rich, historical insight into the Forbidden City but also removed the stress of trying to explore such a crowded and complex landmark on your own. I highly recommend it for a hassle-free and memorable visit.

Anson made this historical place come to life with stories about the good and bad. I have toured before without a guide and found it much more interesting with one. Anson had good energy and enthusiasm.

This tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City was an amazing experience. Miko was a fantastic tour guide with a lot of knowledge. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing. It allows you to see two landmarks and avoid having to book the tickets directly yourself.
