    Overall excellent trip. Guide was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Vehicle was clean and cool, as it was hot between sites. Lunch was good. My only tip and it's not the tours fault (due to time constraints), I would have liked more time in the forbidden city. We got 1hr 45mins, I'd suggest you need at least 3hrs to see the whole site. So i would do that again on its own.

    This is horrible experience - warning for all travelers not to select this package via Viator with tour guide - Tom - Local Tour Guide (Han Tang Tour Beijing) - Confirm on the pick up date super late almost at 9pm before traveling date. In fact we made payment via Viator in full well advanced early for 1 week. - Take us to the Pearl Shop (Super Hard Sell) in which it was not on the listed of itinerary. - Force us to pay for tips for CNY 100 for each traveler and extra CNY 100 for the driver. I had to pay CNY 400 extra for 3 travelers in which it was not advised on the package. The tips should be paid willingly, not by force like this. This is unacceptable.

    My guide Tom made the trip a memorable one and with his knowledge we didn't have any problems getting around. He was super! A shame that our guided tour inside of the Forbidden city was cancelled by whoever was going to guide us, - the tour company should have offered us a free audio guide in this case.

    This was a very full on trip. It would have been a 5 had Tom ( our tour guide) joined us in the Forbidden Palace as I feel we would have learned more. Overall so much incredible history.

    The sightseeing spots was all good, overcrowded, but amazing UNESCO sites. Our guide Tom, however, seemed rather new to being a guide, he was hasty and rude at times. When the trip was nearings its end, he kinda pushed people to tip him, although the description already made the graditutes clear. This and some misunderstandings througout the tour made the mood sour. For us the trip took aproxmately 11-12 hours, I was picked up 7:40 am and back home 7:20 pm. So the trip is very long so bring snacks as there won’t be many along the way.

    I am quite disappointed about this tour.Firstly Forbidden city was not included in the tour as they failed to get the tickets.But I booked the tour long time back.Quite frustrating when we plan from overseas and tried to fill up our bucket list.Also we felt the tour guide was very commercial and superficial.Not clearly explained the history and felt like rushing.We didn’t like the tour at all.Not worth for money wise.

    Would have liked to have more time in Tiananmen Square it seemed to be so quickly we were moved to talk about the Forbidden city… We could have walked to the hill in the Forbidden city to see the city from high up but this didn’t happen. Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace all same architecture, same design and nothing to see inside any of them. Our guide was lovely man but I struggled at times to understand what he was saying meaning the tour was less engaging.

    I do not recommend taking this tour. It was nice to be able to see everything but our guide had us spend more time in stores trying to get us to buy things. We only spent 2 minutes in the square. They take you to a total tourist scam Pearl/Jade place and try to get you to buy things. He also was asking for tips way over the price that was stated online. He provided little information and was not easy to understand. Only good thing was the driver. I gave the guide money to split with the driver because I had no change and I’m sure he pocketed it.

    Tour guide is good. But trip is Not good for location cannot pickup. Tour pickup rate is considered high compare to Taxi. On The return trip, I requested the car driver to switch on aircond but the driver did not oblige my request. You know Beijing is summer now

    Luckily ended up with a two person tour group. Bruce the guide was excellent. Didn’t realize that one had to book at least 7 days in advance to ensure tickets for Forbidden City and its Galleries. Bruce managed to show us how to get same day tickets for the Forbidden City but unfortunately we couldn’t get tickets for the galleries which was not a problem because the time would have been too short anyway. Obligatory stop at shops was not too bad and pretty quick with only two people in our group. Summer palace and temple of heaven was short but nice. In fact the drive to both was probably longer. Honestly, i would rather have done just Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City as a whole day and the other two places on a separate half day. Overall not a bad deal for a whole day including transportation guide and lunch
