Forbidden City mga tour

Lubos naming nasiyahan ang buong karanasan sa tour, dahil napakasaya ng aming gabay na si Allen sa kabila ng pagdaan namin sa tour sa isa sa pinakamainit na araw sa Beijing. Nakakuha rin kami ng magagandang larawan at rekomendasyon sa Forbidden City. Paalala, mangyaring maging handa na may magandang sapatos na panlakad, sunscreen, sumbrero/payong kung balak ninyong gawin ang tour na ito sa mga buwan ng tag-init dahil gugugol kayo ng hindi bababa sa 30 minuto sa security check sa ilalim ng araw.

Ang aming gabay na si Linda ay organisado at laging nakabantay upang hindi mawala ang grupo, binibigyan kami ng sapat na oras para makarating ang buong grupo sa bawat hintuan bago niya ibahagi ang kahalagahan ng bawat gusali, relikya, o makasaysayang artefakto. Malinaw at buo ang kanyang pagsasalita, nagdaragdag ng kaunting katatawanan, at laging nakangiti. Ang tour ay may magandang takbo, hindi masyadong nagmamadali, sa kabila ng lawak at lalim ng mga natalakay. Talagang sulit ang inyong pera!

Nagsimula ang tour sa takdang oras at ang dalawang gabay na sina Amy at MA ay nakipag-ugnayan na sa amin isang araw bago ang nakatakdang tour. Malinaw nilang ipinaliwanag ang kasaysayan ng Forbidden City at Summer Palace. Sinamahan pa kami ni MA sa Bird Nest pagkatapos ng tour sa Summer Palace. Lubos kaming nagpapasalamat.

Isa itong kamangha-manghang tour na maraming kawili-wiling pasyalan. Ginawa itong napaka-memorable ni Helen sa kanyang magagandang pagkukuwento at mga biro, tinulungan niya rin kaming makapasok sa mga lugar nang mas mabilis kaysa sa iba na isang malaking kalamangan. Maganda rin ang halaga nito para sa pera dahil kasama na ang lahat, ang kailangan mo lang gawin ay magbayad at dumating at handa ka na. May ibinigay na malamig na tubig at ang bilis ng lakad ay maaaring mabilis o mabagal depende sa gusto mo. Binigyan kami ni Helen ng opsyon na huminto at kumuha ng mga larawan o pumunta sa susunod na lugar na talagang pinahalagahan ko dahil ayaw kong nagpapaligoy-ligoy. 100% inirerekomenda ko sa sinumang bisita sa Beijing.

Ang aming tour guide na si Jimmy ay napaka-friendly at magaling din siyang mag-English. Marami talaga siyang alam hindi lang tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Forbidden City, kundi pati na rin sa kasaysayan ng China. Talagang nag-enjoy kami sa tour, mas naging makabuluhan at kawili-wili ito dahil kay Jimmy kaysa kung nag-isa lang kami. Tinutulungan niya rin kaming kumuha ng magagandang litrato! Lubos kong inirerekomenda si Jimmy bilang tour guide.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience and Yuly did a great job keeping everyone together and explaining key parts of the Forbidden City’s history. I would have preferred less time there and more time at the Great Wall. The itinerary could be more transparent. I didn’t expect to take a public bus after the Forbidden City to reach another bus, or to pick up more passengers along the way. The Great Wall extras were also confusing. On the bus, we were asked which sides we wanted to visit and charged 280 RMB for cable car/toboggan tickets. It felt like these were compulsory, although they are optional and cheaper options are available on site. This should be explained clearly before payment. That said, the cable cars and toboggan were amazing and so much fun! I don’t regret the experience or extra money spent. I’m grateful for the guidance and knowledge I gained, although I now feel confident I could organise it myself next time and spend more time exploring the Great Wall at my own pace!

Helen was an excellent guide; her explanations were clear, precise, and very vivid. She adapted to the group's requests and showed us the best spots for photos. Thank you again, Helen, for this wonderful excursion ✨

it was a great experience, tiring but good to know history of long long time ago. Suggestion to come during cooling season to enjoy it better as it’s not so hot. wear comfortable shoe too as a lot of walking

This private tour was an outstanding way to experience the city for the first time as a solo traveler. My guide (Sue) was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing each site to life with rich historical context and thoughtful explanations of Chinese culture, traditions, and symbolism. It felt personalized and engaging throughout, not like a generic script. Having Sue accompany me made everything seamless, from navigating crowds to sharing stories at the right moments. The private driver was equally fantastic, warm and professional, with smooth pick-ups and drop-offs between sites. Covering three major sites in one day felt a bit rushed, but it was still a great introduction to Beijing’s top highlights. Overall, a very enjoyable and well-organized experience. Highly recommended.
