Amazing visit! Guided tour is a must do! - Visiting the Summer Palace in Beijing was an absolutely wonderful experience. Beyond the breathtaking beauty of the site itself, what truly made the visit unforgettable was our exceptional guide, Andy. Andy stood out for his deep knowledge of Chinese history, his kindness, and his warm, engaging personality. He shared fascinating stories that brought the palace to life, making the visit both enriching and enjoyable. His English is impeccable, and he also happens to be an excellent photographer — capturing beautiful moments throughout the day. I was truly impressed by everything and would gladly do this tour again. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all my international friends visiting China. It’s an experience not to be missed!

This is definitely a must in Beijing - This was the last experience in Beijing before leaving and it was the best way to end our adventure. This place is absolutely gorgeous. We had a private tour with Jay who made the experience so much better with his attention to us and to the details of this amazing place. The beauty of the nature as well as the history makes this a fabulous place to visit

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.

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.
