Thanks to our guide Tom Wei's excellent explanations, we were able to fully understand all the exhibits. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to see many exhibits in a limited amount of time. It was truly great value for money!
Our tour guide, Mr. Gao Zhenyu, was incredibly meticulous and professional. He attended to the needs of every group member, and his explanations were lively and engaging. He led us to see many national treasures, which deepened our understanding and knowledge of Chinese history.
There probably aren't any Korean reviews, so I'll write one. Booking tickets for the National Museum of China was really tough, so I used this service. However, I didn't receive the QR code until two days before, which led to a bit of a struggle with the seller. They send the tickets just one day before your reservation, so don't worry, everyone. Getting into the National Museum of China by taxi is incredibly difficult because it's close to Tiananmen Square, so there are vehicle restrictions. You'll have to get out and walk quite a distance in the scorching sun, about 30 minutes! Just take the subway.
Service: The guide was very patient in explaining the ancient artifacts from various dynasties and also provided insightful, easy-to-understand analyses of their origins and history, making the activity very meaningful!
Our national museum guide, Wang Wenjuan, was very engaging and thorough. She was able to accommodate all the places we wanted to visit, and several hours just flew by.
