A terrible experience, a shopping tour disguised as a real tour. Keep in mind for the forbidden city only 1 person in our group got the ticket the other 2 didn’t because the tour group said it was too busy and couldn’t get it. So they were forced to come to Jinshan park instead. Which is bs since they paid for the forbidden city. The tour guide wasn’t really knowledgeable just had basic facts down and couldn’t speak English. Got extremely angry I didn’t wanna do a scam shopping tour.

A terrible tour, just a disaster, don't throw your money in the trash. We were picked up from the hotel at 7:30, then we spent an hour searching for the third passenger, as the driver and guide could not figure out where the hotel was, it was a bad organization. On the way to the tour, the guide did not tell anything historical and interesting, and by the way, she speaks English very badly, very badly. And when, during the whole tour, she corresponded with someone and talked on the phone. We really didn'T like this tour. In the end, she began to insist that this was not a historical but a shopping tour. When we gave up shopping, she was very angry and angry. For a long time she did not want to take us back to the hotel, and finally on the way to the hotel she began to say that we should tip her and the driver. Well, decide if you want such an excursion for your money.

The Temple of Heaven is worth seeing. The tour guide rushed us through the main attractions so that he could bring us to the jade shop, the tea shop and the pearl place

Easy to book. Guide tour called my hotel the day before to confirm pick up time and location. Easy access to all 3 venues. No waiting. Nice small group.

This is supposed to be a tour of the Forbidden City and 2 other sights. This was confirmed as booked several times. The night before I got contacted that there was no registration at the Palast Museum possible. This would have been clear for a week. Yet you are only contacted the night before, so it is too late to make other plans. You can cancel or go to the Summerpalace instead. Also we got dragged of to a Jade seller, something that is not in any description. They call it Jade factory, but there is not production on site, so you could at least pretend, there was something to see there. And then everyone is disappointed, that we did not buy anything. We did not sign up for this. The guide and the driver did their best. But the set up was letting them down.
