Memorable day in Beijing - Jimmy was an extraordinary guide. I love Chinese history so I was full of questions. He answered everything very patiently and showed how much knowledge he has in the topic. He gave us some free time for lunch so I made friends with other young people from the tour, and after it was over we went out for dinner and drinks together.

Great experience - We had an amazing tour at the temple of heaven and the summer palace in Beijing. the atmosphere, the people, the places, many emotions all at once. And on top of everything we loved going on an-hour trip on the boat at the lake of the summer palace. Super!!!

Beautiful scenery - It was a nice view and the guide Ellie took effort to wait for us despite us being stuck in traffic. She also took effort to ensure we are able to take the subway back to our hotel safely. Overall beautiful scenery.

Fabulous visit to Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace - I had an excellent day with my guide Ellie on the group tour around the summer palace and temple of heaven. She gave us time to see and take pictures as well as a full history. She helped us find lunch and get home on the subway. Thank you Ellie!

Enjoyable tour ! - Our guide for the summer palace and temple of heaven was Ellie. She is pleasant and jovial and tried her best to make our tour a fruitful one, despite the rainy weather. Through this tour, we learnt much about the history of china. Ellie took some really nice photos for us and even helped to advise us on the restaurants and shopping street in beijing. Much recommended 😀😀😀

Tour much shorter than stated - In my opinion, the description of the tour on Tripadvisor is misleading. We started at the Temple of Heaven, where it was stated we would spend three hours, but we left after just 1 hour and 40 minutes. After that, we took a bus to the Summer Palace, only to have a 2-hour and 20-minute lunch break. When we finally toured the Summer Palace, it lasted only 1 hour and 30 minutes instead of the promised 2 hours and 30 minutes. The tour guide was friendly and helpful, but I can’t recommend this tour.
