Excellent guide - The tour guide Bruce was excellent. He provided great details and super helping hands. I travelled with 3 small kids. The youngest one is 4 year-old boy, and very mischievous. Bruce was very nice and kind. He even help carry the boy for a long walk when the boy was tired after 2-3 hours under hot weather.

Sunny tour of the museum palace! - Lucy really took us on a great tour of the forbidden city. Her background knowledge and familiarity with the layout made for a nice experience, even though it was quite hot outside. Lucy was dressed to avoid the sun but we were not. I recommend that if you come at a similar time to use a sunbrella and sunscreen. Overall great time, thanks again Lucy!
