5.00Rocky was our guide for a great excursion. Because he was not only knowledgeable but his English was excellent we were able to get a lot out of the tour. It was a nice size of a group, and he kept us moving plus he took great pictures of all of us and shared them. I highly recommend this tour with Rocky.

5.00This was a fabulous tour! Michael Ren was a fantastic guide, full of information, history and stories... and his English was excellent. We were never rushed and given ample time for pictures and seeing each area we visited. The company was easy to contact, very responsive, and had excellent communication about the meet up point, etc. The boat ride around the lake at the Summer Palace was a highlight. This was the only tour I could find that went to the Hutong area, which was another amazing experience! I would highly recommend this tour.
Fabulous!
