Great afternoon in Summer Palace - We met in front of the lions at the East Gate. The spot was easy to find and George contacted us beforehand. George ordered the tickets quickly. There was no waiting time. We had a nice tour in the beautiful Summer Palace area.

Summer Palace with guide Huang - We had a great time at the Summer Palace. Our tour guide, Huang, was extremely knowledgeable not only about the history of the Summer Palace itself, but also the history and context behind the artwork and architectural pieces. Although it was quite crowded at the palace, listening to Huang and the stories he told made me forget the crowds as I was engrossed in his storytelling.

Beijing Versailles - huge park with lots of impressive buildings. Everyone should visit it and the tour operator was really helpful by denoting which of the buildings are the best for visiting-else you can get lost.The process for obtaining the ticket was also easy and transparent.The tour operator simply sent me an email with the QR code and at the day I could scan the code and enter.There were lots of people because it was a national holiday,but since the park is enormous this didn't disturb me the least.

There is absolutely no point at all in buying tickets at very inflated prices on Viator beforehand. - There is absolutely no point at all in buying tickets to the Summer Palace at very inflated prices on Viator beforehand. You can very easy buy tickets at any of the gates and they speak English. It’s very easy and a fraction of the price.
