“Our guide was Sean, and he was amazing! He explained a lot about history, politics, and architecture of Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven. We went during peak season (end April), so both areas were crowded. Sean was able to navigate both areas to avoid the crowds. We spent enough time at each locations and Sean shared very interesting info at each site. Overall a very good and educational tour with Sean!”

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.”
