The Temple of Heaven with Ivy - We could only do the morning part of the tour so we visited the Temple of Heaven. The time spent with our guide Ivy was great! She was the nicest, such a professional guide trying to tell us all about the site and not miss any part of it but also felt as a friend coming along with us✨ the heavy rain added something fun to the visit, and as we were there with the luggages Ivy helped us looking after them at some point to let us explore the area🌸 definitely recommended! Thank you Ivy!

Great place, great agency and formidable Guide!!! - A memorable visit to an amazing place. We chose the Mubus agency because we had previously taken a trip to the Great Wall of China with them and we enjoyed it very much. The Andy guide is formidable, he has an incredible energy and passion and manages to pass it on to the group! With him we discovered many details and anecdotes that we would never have scrutinized. We absolutely recommend this tour with Mubus and Andy!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good trip, great guide - We went to the Summer Palace with Ivy. She is a very good guide, she speaks english very well so it is easy to follow her speech even if you are not a native english speaker.
She explained us many curiosities about chinese culture connected to the summer palace. Since my husband doesn't speak english she gave me the time to translate for him so that he could enjoy the trip as well.
She took us a lot of great photos.

Amazing tour in Beijing with Ivy! - Ivy was an amazing tour guide, she is very kind and helpful. Very hot weather but amazing tour! 100% recommend.
Temple of Heaven was very good for photos. But very hot weather in August.
Summer Palace was beautiful and slightly less hot since it was between 2-5pm but more crowded.
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Ivy. Thank you!

An excellent day - We had a great day with Ivy. By chance we were the only ones to do this tour that day, so we had the opportunity to talk well with her. She was lovely.
It was a rainy day and the summer palace was closed while we were in the middle of the temple tour of heaven, she put us back on the tour the next day. Then the summer palace actually reopened and we finally finished the whole tour on the day.
We therefore strongly recommend this outing, which will allow you to effectively see two of Beijing’s main sights.

Great time! Great tour guide! - The Summer palace tour was not only lovely for the views, architecture, and history ... Ivy, our guide, was wonderfully friendly, accommodating, and attentive to our family's questions and needs. Instructions for meeting were clear and she ensured we were as comfortable as possible in the hot weather.
