★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 319 reviews · from $58

Review of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, hutongs, and Summer Palace tour, with transport, guide quality, walking demands, and value tips.

“The guide Joy from Mubus is super energetic. She gives detailed instructions on where to meet, with back up plan in case we wandered off. Even thou we are a big group of 30 - you still get the personal attention. The stories shared in each place takes you back to how people lives during that period. We ended up visiting 6 places as we ended the tour at The Birds Nest. I especially like the waterway cruise from Purple Bamboo Park to Summer Palace.”

“This was a great way to try local food items you wouldn’t know to try. Mike was a fun guide who had a clear plan for us. He started by giving us a preview of what we were going to eat and checked our adventure-meter to see if we were ok with the intestines (we said maybe not), so he went with his plan B which was awesome! It was a LOT of food and we didn’t completely finish anything. So def do this on a hungry stomach. We had beers whenever we wanted too. I had thought the hutong alley would be scruffier but it was a nice street.…”
