Great Experience! - This tour was an excellent experience and exactly what we had hoped for given the description and price. Our guide Lydia arrived promptly in our hotel and handled all of the logistics of transit and tickets. She was knowledgeable about all parts of the Summer Palace and was able to answer our questions both about the history and culture of the site. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to visit and would book again for a different site.

Ask for Lucy!!! - Cannot recommend this tour enough for visitors!! We got lucky and we were paired with Lucy for the day! She was the BEST!! She was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about all of the history around the Summer Palace. We enjoyed time together at the Zoo and seeing the Pandas were such a highlight! Lucy spoken incredible English and was so friendly. We had so much fun with her today and will be recommending her and this tour to any friends that are visiting Beijing in the future.

Great place to visit for a 1/2 day. - It was great to be able to ask questions and see what I was interested in versus a large guided tour (of which there were many). It was a great place to visit while in Beijing, and I learned a lot about the history of the site.

Beautiful day ad the Summer Palace - Another great day with Jerry at the Summer Palace! What a beautiful place. So much architectural and natural beauty, it’s breathtaking. As we walked Jerry told us about the history of this place and how many times it had to be rebuilt. Five stars for Jerry who is always keen on letting you know interesting facts and recommendations for delicious food😋!

Fun day at the Summer Palace - I had a great tour with Jerry. He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the history. He also made the tour really fun and interesting. I enjoyed being given a little bit of time to explore on my own. Jerry made the tour run smoothly with his friendliness and great communication before and during the tour.
