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.
