Fantastic 5.0
David was the guide for our day’s tour. We were a pretty small group of about 7 people, and additional 3 people joined us in the middle during Tiananmen and Forbidden City part. David proactively tried to reach me in Whatsapp and WeChat the night before the tour to confirm meetup details and where we will meet. We started at 8am, had some breaks in between but note that there is no restaurant for lunch, only some kiosks along the way. He was very knowledgable and explained each spot’s importance, then gave us free time to go around, and he also helped take picures of us. Aside from history, he also shared the current affairs of Beijing. We went during peak summer and it was very hot so we requested David to cut our tour short. He was very understanding and allowed us to leave early while the rest of the group continued on. I recommend to visit during Spring or Autumn so the weather is cooler but kudos to David for being such a great guide!

We had a memorable day visiting the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. The tour is almost entirely on foot, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of these historic places, but our guide, David, truly made the difference. David was simply exceptional: he spoke practically the entire time, sharing an incredible amount of information with us. He explained every single location meticulously, precisely, and passionately, without omitting any historical or cultural detail. Thanks to his expertise and helpfulness, the visit was not only informative but incredibly interesting and smooth. If you're looking for a knowledgeable guide who can maximize the value of your visit to Beijing, David is the right person. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Despite the extreme heat, our guide Jenny shared helpful tips to avoid the crowds, which made the experience much smoother. I especially loved exploring the museum inside the Forbidden City — the exhibits were amazing and very informative. Jenny was outstanding throughout, and we’d rate her a perfect 10/10.

We had Nova as our tour guide. She spoke English very well. She was so knowledgeable and we learned so much from her! We always prefer a private tour. Our tour guide can concentrate on just us and we don’t have to worry about other people compared to a large group. I recommend a private tour if you want a more intimate tour that is less stressful and go about the day in a more leisurely manner.

me and my family had a really good time during this trip, Guide Yu (we call him David) was very attentive, and he made sure that all of us are taken care of. He is also very knowledgeable in the history of China, he gave a very good description on the story and it was easy to understand for my 7years old daughter. thank you Guide Yu for this Amazing Beijing experience and we will be back again!

Great tour! It’s the perfect way to see two of Beijing's biggest landmarks in one go. The pace was just right and informative without feeling rushed. Our guide was knowledgeable and helped us navigate the ticket entries and best photo spots easily. A must-do for anyone visiting the city for the first time.

Great 4.0
Honest opinion. It's worth booking the tour just to have no hassle reserving tickets and to skip the massive lines, especially at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. So having said that, you see pretty much all you need to see BUT it is FAST paced and at some point you will blink and lose the guide. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and was always happy to take pictures but you REALLY need to keep up... NOTE: there is NO dedicated lunch break-you buy "snacks" whilst waiting or walking but not enough time for lunch. You finish around 2:30pm and there are no didi's or trains from the end spot (emperors garden) so it will take either a bus or a walk to the nearest station (it's an easy 2km including walking out of the forbidden city. Another tip... don't be late, the tour will start without you.

It's worth booking the tour since is really hard to get the tickets yourself and the tour group lanes are much faster than individual lanes especially at Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City.
