“I really recommend getting a guide for the Forbidden City as it’s quite complicated to navigate Tiananmen to get in, pass the police checkpoints, and find where to get tickets without any guidance if you don’t speak Mandarin (the place is huge, with multiple entrances, and a lot of domestic tourists visit it every day). I recommend going on a Wednesday or a Thursday: less crowded days than the other days. My guide, Wendy, was excellent. I told her I wanted to avoid the crowds and she did her best to find the shortest lines and the best options everywhere. In the end we did not wait in line very…”

“Pretty bad my experience. The guide was going super fast, everyone running behind, the explanation was insufficient, the quality of the headphones very low, not heard well, the people of the “small” group were lost. And the group was too big, 19 people. We left before the tour is over.Auto-translated”

“L'ingresso a Piazza Tienanmen è gratuito salvo fare una registrazione il giorno prima. Io avevo organizzato un altro tour, ma per ragioni logistiche la mattina ho perso il gruppo di riferimento, temevo quindi di non poter più vedere Piazza Tienanmen. Questo servizio mi ha permesso nell'arco di un'ora di ottenere la registrazione per una cifra modica. Il servizio è celere ed economico, lo consiglio vivamente per chi come me dopo molti tour organizzati ha voluto passeggiare in autonomia.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 77 reviews · from $4

Reserve Tiananmen Square entry in Beijing for $4, avoid Chinese-language booking hurdles, and plan around strict security lines and crowd peaks.

“I booked a ticket for Tiananmen Square through Viator, only to find out later that entrance to the square is actually free. I felt misled, as I paid for something that didn’t require a ticket at all. If you’re visiting China, I recommend verifying entry fees or checking directly with your hotel before booking through a third-party platform. While I appreciate that Viator’s customer service quickly refunded me, I’d suggest looking into other booking options to avoid similar issues.”
