Čo robiť v Forbidden City

Úžasný zážitok! Vďaka hlbokým znalostiam miestnej histórie a skrytých pokladov od Sammiho sa obyčajná prehliadka zmenila na nezabudnuteľné kultúrne ponorenie. Mohli sme sa len uvoľniť a naplno si vychutnať celkový zážitok.

Our tour guide Victoria was amazing! she adjusted the pace to everyone’s liking and was very attentive! she told us a lot of information about the palace but also a lot of information about Chinese culture and history. She was happy to answer any questions we had. 10/10 recommend.

Recommend. Give the long queue, high security control, and massive size, I think good idea to go with the tour. JuLia was a knowledgeable tour guide and learned well. Remember passport is a must, slso recommend to pack light. The tour ends inside the palace, so you may explore more before heading to Jingshan for sunset. Just wish we were told more about the Palace Museum as well (which I guess we did not go, and didn’t know where).

Sprievodca pán Liu bol nadšený, priateľský a pozorný, dokázal sa plne postarať o dospelých aj deti. Plán cesty bol vhodne usporiadaný, čo nám umožnilo pohodlne si prezrieť rôzne miesta v Pekingu. Dúfame, že v budúcnosti budeme môcť Peking opäť navštíviť. Ďakujeme, ďakujeme.

Murphy was an excellent guide for our Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall tour! His English was perfect, and he was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. He was always attentive, kept the group organized, and gave us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Tiananmen Square was closed due to a political event, but at the end of the tour he still took us to see it from outside, which we really appreciated. The transportation was excellent, and the buffet lunch was delicious. We felt well taken care of throughout the day. Highly recommend Murphy and this tour!

Prehliadka začala načas a obaja sprievodcovia, Amy a MA, sa s nami skontaktovali deň pred plánovanou prehliadkou. Obaja veľmi jasne vysvetlili históriu Zakázaného mesta a Letného paláca. MA nás dokonca sprevádzal do Vtáčieho hniezda po prehliadke Letného paláca. Veľmi si to vážime.

Celkovo sa mi zážitok páčil a Yuly odviedla skvelú prácu, keď všetkých držala pokope a vysvetľovala kľúčové časti histórie Zakázaného mesta. Radšej by som trávil menej času tam a viac času na Veľkom čínskom múre. Itinerár by mohol byť transparentnejší. Nečakal som, že po Zakázanom meste budeme musieť ísť verejným autobusom na iný autobus, ani to, že budeme cestou vyzdvihovať ďalších cestujúcich. Aj doplnkové aktivity na Veľkom čínskom múre boli mätúce. V autobuse sa nás pýtali, ktoré časti chceme navštíviť, a naúčtovali nám 280 RMB za lístky na lanovku a tobogan. Pôsobilo to tak, že sú povinné, hoci sú voliteľné a na mieste sú dostupné lacnejšie možnosti. Toto by malo byť jasne vysvetlené pred platbou. Napriek tomu boli lanovky a tobogan úžasné a veľmi zábavné! Neľutujem tento zážitok ani minuté peniaze navyše. Som vďačný za sprievod a získané vedomosti, hoci teraz sa cítim dostatočne sebaisto na to, aby som si to nabudúce zorganizoval sám a strávil viac času objavovaním Veľkého čínskeho múru vlastným tempom!

Jimmy was our private guide for Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and he was fantastic! His knowledge of the emperors and Chinese history was excellent, and he also shared great insights into daily life in China today. The tour was well paced, and he was engaging and patient throughout. Thank you Jimmy!

A hassle-free and value-for-money day tour! We visited three of Beijing’s iconic attractions – the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Our tour guide, Ms Zhang, contacted us a day in advance to confirm the pickup time and brief us on what to prepare for the following day. Throughout the tour, she shared interesting historical insights about each attraction and thoughtfully guided us along the shortest walking routes, making the entire experience more convenient and less tiring. P/S: Do remember to bring some snacks and water, as lunch is not included in this day tour. Overall, a well-organised and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended!
