Visiting The Forbidden City with our guide Adele was an absolute highlight of our trip! Despite the crowds, Adele’s expertise and warm personality made the experience feel intimate and stress-free. She navigated the busy spots seamlessly, sharing fascinating insights and hidden gems we would have missed on our own. Her passion and knowledge brought the place to life, and her personalized attention made us feel like VIPs.
Very informative, all my questions answered, Gary was very nice :)
