It is the premier destination for understanding ancient Chinese architecture, history, and culture. Discover China's rich cultural heritage within its walls. As the world's largest and most complete surviving ancient architectural complex, its layout, three-dimensional effect, and majestic form are unparalleled.

Review for: [Join-in Group Tour] Forbidden City + Jingshan Park + Treasure Gallery (Chinese & English Speaking Guide)

Our visit to the Forbidden City was truly unforgettable and absolutely worth it. The palace complex is enormous and filled with fascinating history, and having a guide made all the difference in understanding what we were seeing. I highly recommend this tour—especially with Peter—if you want to experience the Forbidden City on a deeper level rather than just walking through it.

I received a WeChat message the day before on the meeting point and was instructed to look out for the Klook flag. While there was a hiccup in the ticketing process that prevented Bob (our initial guide) to enter the Forbidden City, we had Zhang as our replacement and she was animated in regaling the historic moments of each place. She also ensured our wellbeing was met by giving us appropriate breaks from the intense heat, while keeping to the time limit. Bob then took over the JingShan park leg and gave us a quick overview before letting us explore on our own. He was forthcoming to take questions, and I had my answers on Bei Hai park and famous Peking Duck eateries.

The guide can explain information about the Forbidden City very well in English and guide to walk around the important places in the palace. Then the guide will take the tour group to Jingshan Park before dispersing. The guide will contact you 1 day before the tour date via WeChat.
