Great half-day tour of Beijing - This was a great half-day tour. Our guide Alice was very knowledgeable and detailed all the rich history of the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and everything in between. She took care of all our transportation - called us taxis to each location, and ensured we reached each destination in a timely manner. Our guide was even kind enough to take photos of our group. It was a seamless easy experience. Just be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes!

Excellent tour with Diana for those wanting to see these monuments in a short time. - We had an excellent tour with Diana. She contacted us the evening before to confirm pick up time & location and was able to change the time of our tour when we had a last minute schedule change. She arrived on time to pick us up at our hotel and provided comfortable transportation. She provided excellent local and historical information to prepare us for the visits and made sure we saw all the important areas. She was more than happy to take pictures of us throughout the tour.

Great private tour of Summer Palace, Temple of Lamas and Confucius, Beijing: 5 stars!!! - Happy to have relied on these experienced and professional guides for some visits during my second trip to Beijing. The bespoke tour included the wonderful Summer Palace (already visited once but with my Guide Alice I received much more information than in the past), the Temple of the Lamas and that of Confucius, with the Imperial College. Alice and the driver made me feel completely comfortable with their kindness and professionalism. The tour included lunch in a typical restaurant where I tasted the famous duck and Pekingese noodles, and much more. Beautiful day in the company of a delightful and knowledgeable person: highly recommended!

A must Beijing experience! Memorable 😊 - I visit Beijing for the first time with my daughter. And our guide, Jennifer Hao, is more than we imagined. Jennifer is really helpful, informative and so friendly, that my daughter even said she has a new friend! 😁 With her explanation of the history, our visit to The Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace is not just another scenic place we visit. Thank you for the memorable experience Jen! Will definitely contact you when i come back to Beijing.
