We booked this expecting a just the ticket of the Forbidden City but unfortunately the tickets ended very early so they advised us to buy a tour...it costed a little bit more and I must say not everything went super good because they made us wait to get the tickets checked for almost two hours but I get it, the crowd. Watever, the tour was worth it, Tina was so nice, helpful and explained us everything so super happy of her! She made the trip much funnier and happier. Thank you!

Today we wanted to get to know the Forbidden City in a little more detail, so we opted for a guidebook. We were very impressed with the history impeccably told by our guide Tina!!! We wish we had had more time but we are aware of the many people who choose this destination as their main activity in Beijing. In any case, the time we had was made the most of thanks to Tina (excellent level of English) and Mark!!! Impeccable, I highly recommend them!!!

It's a scam. They confirm your ticket and then shortly before tell you that the tickets are not available anymore then want to force you to buy super expensive tickets. Best thing is to book tickets yourself via the official website.
