Wonderful China Experience! - Had an absolutely wonderful day with Lily I will never forget! Summer Palace is breathtaking in it's beauty and cultural history. Definitely a must see for anyone visiting China. The Panda House at the immense Beijing Zoo gets very crowded but with Lily's excellent guidance, I was able to view and capture the pandas joyous walk around their pen. These gorgeous treasures of China amazed and thrilled a very happy crowd. I must express my sincere thanks to Lily as she was a wonderful tour guide who made everything very easy, spoke very good English, and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Summer Palace (very important to me). Highly recommend you book her as your next tour guide!!

Panda House and Summer Palace - The tour with my guide Linda, was excellent. She brought us right to the Panda house and showed us the young pandas who were eating. We were lucky it wasn’t sleeping time for the Pandas! The Summer Palace was beautiful. The climb to the pagoda was worth the view!

Summer Palace was great! - We had a great time with Lisa visiting the Pandas and the Summer Palace. She was patient and made sure we went to the Panda house when they were eating verses sleeping. The Pandas are basically in a zoo. The zoo is a little run down and it is a bit sad, but if you really want to see a Panda in China and can't make it to Chengdu it's a way to see one. The Summer Palace was really nice. It's beautiful there and we were able to take a boat ride. Lisa was kind to take plenty of pictures and she told us great stories as we drove. It's a good tour if you have limited time.
