Excellent Tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

I really enjoyed the trip out to the summer palace! It’s a beautiful area, and my guide was able to fill me in on all the incredible history and significance of the palace. Maggie, my guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable - 10/10!

Summer palace in the winter

Published on Feb, 2025

Such a beautiful place to visit. Our guide Jerry was interesting and knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful place. The time of year didn’t retract from its beauty - - the winter starkness gave it a completely different perspective- I loved it !

Rong is the Right Guy

Published on Jan, 2025

Jerry Rong is the right person for the Summer Palace half-day tour. An affable guy, he knows the history of the place. He talked at length about the Ching dynasty, the time the place was built. He also gave us a detailed description of the Dragon Lady- the Empress Dowager Tzu Tsi, the powerful lady concubine who was the recipient of this gift- the Summer Palace. The Emperor had it built for her. In between the discussion, Jerry always manages to insert humor in all of his stories. He is also a "funny" person. Later in the tour, he also accompanied us to the steep climb of the buddhist temple, where we saw the huge statue of the Lady Buddha, Quan Ying. Kudos to Jerry! Xiexie, xiexie! - George, Jenny, Arcadio and Joanne. We are all from the Philippines.

Patient guide who is on time to meet me at hotel lobby. Only thing I was surprised was that we hailed a local taxi to Summer Palace, I thought there will be a car. Overall great guide!

Great tour, great guide

Maggie was a wonderful and engaging tour guide! We weathered the crowds together, and she knew the quieter spots and so much about the history of the Summer Palace.
