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.
Our tour guide, Mr. Tang Wei, was incredibly knowledgeable. The entire experience, from the initial preparation and timely departure to the explanations of each popular national treasure, was perfectly managed. The National Museum experience was definitely worth the trip!
Our guide, Teacher Gao Zhenyu, led us on a wonderful tour of cultural relics, allowing us to experience the essence of the National Museum! It's a shame the tour time was limited, as there were so many artifacts to see!
The trip to National Museum of China would not have been complete without tour guiding service. The assigned tourguide Wang reached out via Wechat 1 day before to advise the time and place to meet. She told stories and history behind the exhibits, which makes the trip enjoyable. Wang was attentive to details, had to constantly make sure the group catches up in the very crowded museum. She also prioritised the most important exhibits (there are just too much to see in the 2.5 hours guided tour). Entry to the museum was smooth, visitors have to cater time for security checks. Overall, an enriching experience.
I had a fantastic experience with Ms. Wang! She made the arrangements seamless and easy. Her passion for Chinese history is infectious, and her professional insight made the museum come alive. It was so convenient to have the tickets handled for me—definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Beijing!
It's really worth going, especially with the wonderful explanation from Teacher (Xiu Cai said Tang Wei), which felt like a history lesson. I truly recommend it.
Mike is a great tour guide with deep knowledge and experience. Highly recommend for you!
Booking tickets in advance is essential for popular dates; otherwise, entry will be impossible. The guide's explanation was detailed and engaging.
Incredible collection of artefacts that describe the progress of the Chinese civilisation. The guide was patient and informative.
