5.00Gary was our guide. He is very friendly and speaks excellent English. Gary is brilliant with his knowledge of Chinese history. He took our group by bus to the historic Temple of Heaven, to the intriguing Lama Temple and then to a nice sumptuous Peking Duck lunch and then to the stunningly majestic Summer Palace. Gary's assistant Sarah is very friendly too. I enjoyed this trip very much. The historic sites are absolutely beautiful to see in the cold winter and relish.
Lean back, relax and let in the Chinese culture

5.00We went to the heaven temple, Lama temple AND the summer palace! It seems like much, but we had the best time in our little group of 7 people and Yan (our guide) had so much she taught us about! She answered anything from architecture to history to art and she made the mood in the group so nice and non stressful it felt like she made the tour group all friends, so we had so much fun. Yan is btw the best fotograf you could wish for. She knows all the good angles at the different locations and takes the time to get the perfect shot😍 Lunch was also included and lots of different Chinese dishes were made and serves so you could try lots of different things. Every need at every time was taken care of. You can feel safe and spend all your energy on having fun and learning about Chinese culture when you book this trip :)
Unforgettable Beijing Day

5.00It was a full and well-organized day, and our guide, Gary, did a great job answering many questions and helping us take plenty of photos. The weather and snow are, of course, beyond anyone’s control, but he handled the conditions as best as possible. The assistant William was also very helpful and knowledgeable, took lots of pictures, and kindly looked after those lagging behind, which was especially valuable with a larger group. Just be aware that it can get slippery when it snows, but it was an amazing tour nonetheless. Highly recommended!
A perfect day
