    The tour was absolutely wonderful! I fell in love with the city! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories and little-known facts about the lives of the emperors that you won’t find in ordinary history books (they even recited poetry at times). I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be coming back next year
