  The tour was an amazing experience. Everything was organized seamlessly and we enjoyed the transportation, the tour and especially the lunch. The guide Yan was extremely knowledgeable and she shared so many historical information and interesting facts with us. I would love to do this tour again with Yan!

  

  

  

  

  

• Great one-day tour of Beijing with Jason!

  I recently went on a one-day tour to the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and the Summer Palace in Beijing, and it was a really good experience — mostly thanks to our guide, Jason Lee (or just Jason). Jason knows a lot about Chinese history and explained everything clearly and in an interesting way. He didn’t just list facts — he helped us understand how these places fit into China’s past and what they meant to people back then. I especially liked how he connected the stories of emperors, religion, and daily life to what we were actually seeing. The Summer Palace stood out the most for me. It’s such a beautiful place, and Jason’s stories about Empress Dowager Cixi and the design of the gardens made it even more memorable. I’d definitely come back to Beijing just to spend a full day there. The tour was well organized, Jason was on time, friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable. If you’re looking for a clear, engaging, and relaxed way to see some of Beijing’s top sights, I’d recommend Jason without hesitation.

  We had an action packed day visiting the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple and Summer Palace with a peking duck lunch in between! Our Guide Jason Lee met us just off the Metro Station and waited on everyone before commencing the tour. He explained everything perfectly and brought history to life with stories and anecdotes about the sites we were seeing. I particularly enjoyed the Lama Temple- it was simply stunning and you could feel the energy of the prayers all around you. Couldn’t recommend this tour or Jason enough who went above and beyond for us! Thank you!

  The visit to the three sites is quite intense. They are very large places with a lot of history, but the guide, Gary, tried to make it as enjoyable as possible, and it was very interesting. He has been attentive to us the entire time and has been very kind.

  Gary was very professional throughout the trip. Not only did he explained all of the scenery with great details, he also made sure that the strength of the team is accounted for before heading to the next scenery.

  We had a wonderful experience with Gary as our guide. He brought us to the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and Summer Palace, and his knowledge of the history and culture at each site was truly impressive. He explained everything clearly and made the whole journey meaningful and engaging. Gary managed the group very well—organized, patient, and attentive to everyone’s needs. His friendly personality and professionalism made the day smooth and enjoyable. We felt taken care of from start to finish.

  The tour started with a smile and very cheerful attitude of our tour guide Jason Lee, who made every member of the group feel special. He told many interesting stories along the way and led us to many spots a sole traveler would hardly find on her/his own. The tour is really excellent as it covers 3 absolute gems of Beijing that you visit hassle free and enjoy the deep dive in the history of China that Jason really mastered. If you want absolutely best picture from the trip or get to know detailed history of Ming and Qing dynasty, see the tallest wooden Buda or enjoy in amazing landscape of the summer palace, this tour is for you.

• The best guide in Beijing!

• Perfect Autumn Day at Temple of Heaven and ending at Summer Palace Sunset!

  We lucked out for two reasons today! Firstly, we had amazing weather mid-November after the recent temperature drop in Beijing and were afforded an incredibly sunny day for this tour. Second, and most important, was that we had Mr. Jason Lee guide our group through the packed itinerary! He is a polyglot (Chinese, Spanish, English, a bit of Italian) and was charming to see him interact with the members within our tour group in their native language as well as with the Beijing locals! We started at the Temple of Heaven and had a Peking Duck & Cantonese-Style lunch before heading to Lama Temple and ending at Summer Palace. To start, our group was given a general timeline of the day’s events with about 1-1.5 hours at each location factoring in walking time towards specific landmarks to get to the most iconic scenic points and time for pictures. In particular, I felt we could have shortened the time at the Lama Temple and instead spent more time at the beautiful Summer Palace, considering in fall the daylight hours are shorter! Lunch was delicious, with enough variety and at least 2 wraps of peking duck per person. Our table had some drumsticks left over since our group was so full. Lama temple, however had the most interesting facts related to Buddhism and the tibetan-style architecture, and relics from the giant wooden buddha, to the artwork adorning the walls in the different halls. Due to the incense, you will smell like ash! Summer palace was where I felt we could have spent more time admiring the scenic beauty rather than progressing through the courtyards, but Jason’s stories about the politics at the time of Empress Cixi were interesting and culturally significant. I would suggest during sunset, he would allow the group more time to embrace the sight across the horizon of the lake rather than guide us to the exit, since those fleeting moments of beauty are what many of us come to China to experience. He did take us to great panoramic locations, and for most locations having a few minutes for photos is enough. However the beauty of the sunset at that location is what could have been a showstopper moment to allow the group to really pause! Overall, a skill-full 8+ hour tour and logistics challenge navigated well by our guide! I highly recommend for the price and enjoyment. Break off from the group towards the end of the tour if you want to savor that sunset moment.
