Traveler reviews
Renny was amazing! Our tour guide Renny was really good, I would give her ten stars if I could.
Renny was a fantastic tour guide. She was punctual and polite and made a real effort to get to know us and understand our wants and tailored her approach accordingly. She was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of insightful quick history lessons as we went through the day. Renny was happy to guide us and have some flexibility over the itinerary based on what we felt we wanted to focus on. She was also very caring, ensuring we were walking in the shade (it was super hot!) and pacing the walk to slower/ faster dependent on our energy levels! We had a fantastic day filled with amazing memories!
Summer palace tour over forbidden city!!
Sally was absolutely amazing!!! From the minute she picked us up she was full of energy and had loads of information about the summer palace! This was a great half day tour. If your stuck for time and wondered between the summer palace and the forbidden city! I would choose the summer palace , all day long
Wonderful Beijing
This is the way to do it! Perfect with our personal guide. Thanks to Sunny and Li for this wonderful experience. Can’t wait to return.
Amazing Tour!
I had an excellent tour of Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace with Rita. She was enthusiastic, passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire experience. Rita went above and beyond to make the day smooth and enjoyable. She helped me navigate the various security checkpoints, taught me useful Mandarin words and phrases, and even helped me find a hair salon afterward. Her kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference. I especially appreciated how much history and cultural background she shared along the way. Not only did I learn about Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace themselves, but also about many of the places and landmarks we passed through during the tour. Her explanations brought the city’s history and culture to life in a very engaging way. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Rita as your guide. She truly made the experience memorable.
