Kevin was a fantastic and... - Kevin was a fantastic and entertaining guide. He got us through all the checkpoints in Tiananmen square on the day of a diplomatic visit. After entry into the palace, you could roam freely as desired too.

Pleasant afternoon at Beijing's Summer Palace - We spent a lovely afternoon at thr Summer Palace. Our guide May was excellent and made sure that we got to experience all that the Summer Palace had to offer in terms of history, scenery and culture. It was very busy but May knew all the shortcuts so we were able to get the most out of the time we had.

Not worth it, not by a long shot!! - They gave us a barcode.. which is useless!! We were about to buy the ticket again, because in the tripadvisor app if you click: we send you the tickets to the mail, they send you the same meaningless email with that code that the Chinese do not use at all! Good thing a friend could call (because without Chinese number this is difficult) and contacted the operator, who sent us the QR by WeChat. Tickets were left over and much cheaper by the way, and that is festive!
