The whole tour itself felt very rushed, especially at the Forbidden City. Our tour guide spent a lot time helping another tourist with storing her luggage. We did not get any time to explore on our own. Under the "What's included" section shopping is not listed. I was so angry that they wasted our time and took us to a pearl shop and a chinese medicine clinic for 2 hours total. It meant that the rest of the trip was rushed. We could've spent more time at the listed locations. Would NOT recommend.
I have already rated this trip for you.
This tour covered 4 venues in a day and there would have been no way we could have done this by ourselves. Our tour guide was excellent and contacted us the previous day to confirm pick up time and location.
