5.00Our guide Yan was very knowledgeable and gave us a great educational and entertaining insight into the history of China. Her English was very good and the whole tour was outstanding. She moved through exhibits and sights with appropriate pace and always welcomed our questions. Transportation was awesome and Peking Duck lunch was great. All possible allergies well addressed beforehand. We highly recommend this tour to all people who travel solo, with friends, or to families with children!
Certainly worth it

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 :)
