I took this trip as it fit a very tight schedule for my visit to the forbidden city. The driver was on time on the hotel, they took me to the visit and back as advertised. I communicated my need of being back to the hotel at 12pm and the tour guide made everything to fulfill my request. Overall a good trip if you need and overview of the forbidden city, if you need a more detailed visit I don't know if this will suit your needs.
