 Why there are 9 sculptures of mythical animals on the roof ridge of Hall of Supreme Harmony but not 8 or 10; why there are 9999.5 but not 10000 rooms in the palace; Why the eyes and ears of the stone lions in front of the Palace of Tranquility and Longevity blocked…

Rita Gao, our guide was impeccable. On time, very patient and arranged everything for us. The forbidden city is for sure a must see, when you’re in Beijing. However, the money we paid here at La Vacanza Travel was completely overpriced. When booking your tour, take your time and save big money. We paid 300US$ for a private tour for 4. You can get it for half and less, if you look a bit better, than what I did. Without any loss in quality. This makes me very critical regarding this App and I will not use it anymore without scrutinizing what I get for the money and before comparing it. If i even usenit again.

We had an amazing time on our Forbidden City tour! The tour operator was highly communicative with us immediately after booking. Our tour guide, Lucy, was so kind, funny, patient, and knowledgeable, with over 15 years of experience giving tours all over China! She met us at our hotel in the morning and was happy to answer my many questions about Chinese history and culture. (Also, if you’re last minute like we are and there weren’t any Forbidden City tickets left to the public online or on WeChat, going through a private tour like this one is the way to go!) I would highly recommend this tour!!

I would like to leave our tour guide Linda from Leo’s Guide and Driver Service, a rave review. She is very knowledgeable and has planned her tours well. Linda is able to answer any historical question with as much depth as you want, and is passionate about history. Her English is impeccable. We visited the Forbidden City on a very hot day, and she was sure to find us some shade, to remind us to drink water, and even offered me her umbrella. She’s very kind. But what impressed my husband and I though most was her knowledge of the Palace Museum and life under the emperors. I know she knew much, much more than she had time to share with us, and we wished we had that time with her. Highly recommend Linda for her guidance.
