Fantastic tour & Guide for Families - Maggie was an outstanding guide for our visit to the pandas and the Summer Palace. She was incredibly kind and patient with our kids and went out of her way to help with transport and logistics, which made everything smooth and relaxed. Her English was excellent, and she made the experience easy to enjoy. We would happily recommend Maggie to any family visiting Beijing.

Nice ending to our China tour. - Sunny was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and explained many things to us. I really loved the summer palace especially. A ride through the Olympic village was a nice way to end.

Definitely booked this in Beijing - Dennis was a guy that I would recommend
He took us to the pandas and the summer house
Never have been in and out of a zoo so fast but check check done we saw the pandas two of them
Summer house was much more than we anticipated. His knowledge was fast and interesting. Highly recommend him.

Made the best with unfortunate experience. - The tour guide and driver were on time to pick us up at the hotel. Pandas weren't very active, but it was pretty hot and I think they just wanted to be inside where it was cooler. I unfortunately became ill at the Summer place. Our tour guide did the best she could. She took the rest of the party to see what they could see. She then arranged with the driver to pick us up at the closer exit so I didn't have to walk far. My illness was out of the tour guides control, but she made the best for the others in our party.
