A great way to know more about the Summer Palace - We had an amazing time visiting the summer palace and learned a lot with our great guide Lily. She also helped us with other unrelated activities such as booking tickets to an acrobatics show. Thank you!

Incredible summer palace tour - Miko was a fantastic guide for the summer palace. So knowledgeable and fun. Spoke excellent English. He gave us a great two hour tour of the summer palace on a crowded day but made sure we could still enjoy it and showed us all the highlights. He also helped us book tickets for the tower. Strongly recommend Miko as a guide.

A wonder experience - Chen was my guide and made the experience very safe and fun. He not only drove me to the Summer Palace, helped me get in, but then on the way back to the hotel he showed me a wonderful snack place. Would recommend Chen to anyone wanting a quick visit to the Summer Palace or other Beijing tourist spots.

Bad Experience - Very bad experience as the QR code provided did not work and we had to wait for more than 30 mins in the queue to validate why the code was kept working and get a new ticket.
