We had a great day with Jerry from Leo’s Private Tours. He told us a lot of interesting things, also about day to day life. Jerry was very friendly and everything was organized very well. We would definately recommend the tour! Keep up the good work!

Jason is patient throughout the tour. I’m incredibly grateful. My parents are over 60 years old & he never hurried them one bit.
Jason’s vast knowledge is truly commendable! Any doubts or curiosities that we have along the tour, he is quick to have answers for it, while showing the specific & relevant locations.
Jason also helped us capture our family photos and the booking of Didi (taxi) to and fro our hotel. Thank you very much Jason for everything! You are a gem!

Macy was awesome! I overslept and he had the hotel buzz my room to wake me up. He was very patient and made sure I got all the photos I wanted. Plus, he was full of knowledge. Learned a ton on this tour! At the end he was helpful enough to guide me on the correct bus so I could carry on and see some other spots on my own. He even made me a reservation at a hotpot place . If you’re wanting more than a tour but above and beyond service, ask for Macy!I would use them Leo’s Private Tours again

Linda was an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and helped to take some photos for us to keep as memories and show our friends and family back home :)
Product details
Forget navigating the Forbidden City on your own or coordinating with a guide at the site; this could lead to confusion and wasted time. To ensure a seamless experience, your private guide will personally greet you at the hotel lobby. From there, a taxi will take you to the Forbidden City (Taxi fee on you own expense ). To skip the lines at the Tiananmen Square security check, we highly recommend taking a taxi to Donghuamen and enjoying a short 10-minute walk to the check-in gate
When booking, select your preferences for guide language, number of travelers, and preferred time slot .
Explore the Forbidden City's mysteries on a 3-hour walking tour with your guide. Uncover the secrets behind its unique designs and totems, such as why there are 9 mythical animal sculptures on the Hall of Supreme Harmony's roof ridge and why there are 9999.5 rooms in the palace. Your guide will reveal these cultural secrets, offering a new perspective on the Forbidden City.
Finally, before parting ways with your guide, inquire about transportation details for your next destination.
