5.00Give a lot of freedom at the monuments. Completely free at the Chinese wall and a short guide tour at the summer Palace where you can also walk around for an hour afterwards. Furthermore, they also think along with problem solving.
I give Jackie Chan 5 stars

Amazing tour with Yuly

5.00We had a wonderful private day tour of the Great Wall at Mutianyu and the Summer Palace in Beijing. Our guide, Yuly, made the experience very special with her interesting explanations and attention to detail. At the Great Wall, we took the cable car up to Tower 14, and Yuly explained everything with great clarity, including the walk up to Tower 20. In the afternoon, she guided us through the Summer Palace, sharing many stories on the Dragon Lady that made the visit even more enjoyable. It was a well-organized and memorable day. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Yuly as a guide.
