Over deze activiteit

Your tour guide will pick you up around 7:30AM to 9:00AM.

The first stop is Tian’anmen Square, where you can see the perfect combination of Communist China and Old fedulist China. One side is the communist blocks, the other side will be the imperial buildings. This sightseeing will last 30 minutes.

After visiting the communist square, you will walk into the imperial courtyard, the Forbidden City, where the Chinese emperors lived and ruled for nearly 600 years from Ming to Qing dynasty. This sightseeing will last around 2 hours.

Then you will have lunch in a traditional Chinese restaurant.

In the afternoon, you will explore the amazing architecture: Temple of Heaven. The emperors used to worship heaven and offer sacrifices there. This sightseeing will last about 1 hour.

On the way back, you will visit a Chinese silk store and feel free to buy some souvenirs.

Around 5PM, your tour guide will drop you off at your hotel.

Jaime, our tour guide, was great. He called us the day before so we could find the meeting spot. Our hostel was very close to Tienanmen Square so we just walked there first. The other places, we went in an air conditioned van. There were only 3 of us on the tour so it was nice to have it be intimate. We had lots of questions regarding the history of all the sites, and he was very knowledgeable. There were points where Jaime would walk too fast or not realize we were taking a picture, but otherwise he was patient. At one point my friend got dehydrated - he was really understanding and let us wait until she felt better to walk again. My friend and I had already been in China for one month and so we had already seen lots of temples - Temple of Heaven was beautiful but at that point for us personally, they blended together. But if this is your first time to China, I would recommend. We didn't see all of Forbidden City just because it's so big, but Jaime took us through the amazing highlights. We ate lunch at a restaurant and afterwards, went to a silk "market". It's really just an overpriced silk store, and then to a pearl "market", or just a freshwater pearl jewelry store. Jaime didn't pressure us at all to buy anything, and we understood this is just very common with tours. I definitely recommend this tour!

Alice our tour guide was helpful with pictures and informative. Did not really appreciate the people at the silk store. They tried to pull the old switcharoo on the products they sold us. It left a bad taste in our mouth and tainted what would have been a 5 star tour.

The tour was great! Since I was there is February there were only 2 people on the tour. Practically a private tour! Our guide, James, and the driver were excellent. Temple of Heaven Park was really amazing and Forbidden City is not to be missed.
