Forbidden City ture

Vores besøg i Den Forbudte By var virkelig uforglemmeligt og absolut det værd. Paladskomplekset er enormt og fyldt med fascinerende historie, og det gjorde hele forskellen at have en guide til at forstå, hvad vi så. Jeg kan varmt anbefale denne tur – især med Peter – hvis du ønsker at opleve Den Forbudte By på et dybere plan i stedet for bare at gå igennem den.

A guided tour to Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square is highly recommended for tourists to avoid the disappointment of missing out. We went on a Saturday which is a very busy day. Our tour guide Neo made a very good job to make our experience awesome despite of the big crowd and heavy security.

Nød virkelig hele turoplevelsen, da vores guide Allen var super glad, selvom vi skulle på turen på en af de varmeste dage i Beijing. Fik også rigtig gode billeder og anbefalinger i Den Forbudte By. En sidebemærkning: kom venligst velforberedt med gode vandresko, solcreme, kasket/paraply, hvis du har tænkt dig at tage denne tur i sommermånederne, da du vil bruge mindst 30 minutter på at komme igennem sikkerhedskontrollen i solen.

En ændring i flyveplanen efterlod mig med kun én dag til at tage på en guidet tur, men ønsket om at se Den Forbudte By og Den Kinesiske Mur fik mig til at føle, at jeg måtte vælge det ene eller det andet... og så fandt jeg denne tur. Jeg var overvældet over, hvor veltilrettelagt turen var, og følte mig slet ikke forhastet med at se det hele. Selvfølgelig var der mindre tid hvert sted til at læse hvert eneste skilt, høre hver eneste historie og vandre til hvert vagttårn, men jeg nyder et godt overblik, og denne tur ramte de grundlæggende ting lige i øjet. Ana, vores guide, var super sød og omsorgsfuld, sørgede for, at alle var med, havde alle de ønskede muligheder ved Den Kinesiske Mur, forklarede alt logistisk i stor detalje og fortalte fantastiske historiske historier om, hvad vi så i Den Forbudte By. Hvis du kun har én dag i Beijing, er dette turen at booke. Nøjes ikke med det ene eller det andet, gør begge dele.

The trip was a great value for the money! The food was amazing, the buffet had a wide variety of options. Unfortunately, we missed the first part of the journey because we booked the night before and weren’t able to coordinate the pick-up due to the short notice. However, our guide was the best and helped us figure out how to join the group at the Forbidden City. She even offered to cover the transportation we used to get there, which was incredibly kind! We joined the tour successfully from that point on. Afterwards, we headed to the Great Wall, with our guide sharing interesting explanations along the way, making the journey both educational and enjoyable. They also offered us water at every stop, which was so appreciated since we visited during summer. To close the day, we enjoyed a wonderful tea ceremony, which was a lovely and relaxing way to wrap up the experience. To top it off, they dropped us off right at our hotel! All in all, we had a truly wonderful experience.

Vi havde en vidunderlig oplevelse med vores turguide, fru Lisa, under vores ikoniske private tur i Beijing. Hun var meget effektiv, professionel og velorganiseret hele dagen. Hendes forklaringer på hvert sted var klare, detaljerede og lette at forstå, hvilket gjorde turen endnu mere fornøjelig og meningsfuld. Hun var også meget omsorgsfuld og opmærksom på os, og sørgede altid for, at vi var komfortable og velplejede. Frokostarrangementet var også fremragende – pænt udvalgt og velorganiseret. Kan varmt anbefales! Tak, fru Lisa, for at gøre vores Beijing-tur til en så mindeværdig og behagelig oplevelse. 🌟

We booked this tour one week before our trip and are so glad we did. Our tour guide - Sherry was an absolute gem 💎 in every way. She knew so much of the history of each historical site we visited, pointing out obscure artefact details and relating them to Chinese idioms and cultural superstitions. She always made sure we had enough time to take ample photos and often offered to step in to help us take group shots. We visited Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, The Ming Tombs, Drum & Bell Towers and the Great Wall - and we had an absolute blast in each one. Blessed with good weather and Sherry's kind motherly care, we really developed a fondness and respect for China's ancient history and culture. We can't wait to be back!

The tour started on time and both guides Amy and MA have coordinated with us a day before the scheduled tour. They both explained very clearly the history of the Forbidden City and Summer Palace. MA even accompany us to the Bird Nest after the Summer Palace tour. We are very appreciated.
