Last Minute Beijing Trip
Planned a last minute trip to Beijing. The tour was for the Great Wall (of course) and the Forbidden City. Unfortunately, the tour company was unable to get tickets to the Forbidden City - I was quite upset since this was a main part of the tour. However, the tour made up with a tour of the Summer Palace, the Drum Tower and the Temple of Heaven. Due to the pandemic, less tickets were sold to the Forbidden City and we made our plans to go to Beijing just a few days before we left. Had I known this was an issue, I would have planned better. And the tour company should have let me know prior to my purchasing the tour - which they did not. But I do feel they did everything they could to make it a great trip - and it was! The tour guide, Ivy, was very knowledgeable and shared so many great facts that we wouldn't have known just going by ourselves. The driver was always punctual, safe and very friendly! It was a great trip overall!
