This is an excellent tour and you won’t be disappointed! We had an outstanding guide (Kevin) and driver and they were 100% focused on making sure that our day was filled with exactly what we were looking for. And what we didn’t expect was a chance to have an authentic lunch with several food choices that were all delicious! Please be sure to ask for Kevin!

Tour guide Christine was very knowledgeable and had almost perfect English.
The day started at the zoo to see the pandas. Then onto the summer palace.
Christine provided great detail on the history of the sides and was able to quote the dates on when the buildings were built.
Our driver also did a very nice job in provided impeccable service with bottles of drinking water, and a very safe transport

Visited Beijing for a short period of time and I love pandas so this package was the perfect pick. Yan was my tour guide and I really loved her, she was on time meeting me at my hotel at a suitable time. She was very knowledgeable with excellent English. She was accommodating to my dietary needs, kept making sure i am ok, recommended places for photos and was a great guide. Highly recommended package.

We had a fantastic tour with our guide Lucy, not only did she give us a wonderful history lesson at each destination, she captured it all by taking photos for us too. After recommending a perfect place for lunch catering for the vegetarian we finished our day in the Summer Palace and what a place to end out time in Beijing it was beautiful and peaceful, my 12 year son declared it was his favourite place. Really enjoyed this personal tour and being driven around - it made us feel really special.

Our day with Ranee was incredibly enjoyable. She promptly picked us up from the hotel and whisked us off to the zoo to immerse ourselves in the Panda world—an experience where these adorable creatures are treated like rock stars.
Next, we visited the Summer Palace, another gem in Beijing. While it’s a place where one could easily spend the entire day, Ranee ensured we explored the best spots while regaling us with the history and sharing delightful anecdotes. We then indulged in a delectable lunch at a local restaurant, where every dish was superb.
Before our visit to the Summer Palace, Ranee took us to a local market, where she skillfully helped us find the best deals on beautiful Chinese products. Our final stop was the Temple of Heaven, where Ranee continued to share her wealth of knowledge and happily answered all our questions.
It was truly an amazing day filled with unforgettable memories. Thank you, Ranee, for everything!

This was a great tour. Clair, our tour guide, and with ching, our driver. We started early with Panda House, and all the pandas were active. Clair moved us through lines easily and pointed us to best places for photos while telling us the nature and history of the pandas. Next to the summer palace. My son wanted to climb to the top so Clair purchased the extra tickets and escorted him to the top. Clair was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history. For lunch we decided on dumplings and ate with locals. Great food. 👍 back on the road to the temple of heaven. The day is extensive walking with stairs so wear comfortable shoes. Thank you to Clair and ching for a wonderful day.
