Things to do in Summer Palace

Exploring the Summer Palace with Wendy made our trip to Beijing truly unforgettable! She is an exceptional guide whose deep knowledge of imperial history brings every pavilion and story to life. Wendy navigated the massive grounds seamlessly—effortlessly dodging the crowds, guiding us to the best views across Kunming Lake, and sharing fascinating details about the Long Corridor and Marble Boat. Her warmth, pacing, and local recommendations were outstanding. If you are visiting Beijing, book Wendy as your guide—she is fantastic!

Wonderful experience! I warmly recommend this tour. Jessie was amazing! A wealth of knowledge, interesting, funny, and witty. She shared lots of fascinating tidbits and fun facts, not only about the Summer Palace but also about Chinese culture as a whole. She was very calm and never in a hurry, allowing us to enjoy the tour to the fullest. Her English was perfect, and she was very enjoyable company. If you’re planning a tour here, ask for her, believe me (I tried more guided tours here in china), it’s totally worth it!!

The tour guide assigned to us was very friendly and knowledgable about the historical areas. As we are a small group, I felt that this tour was more laid back and chill, which I prefer. Considering this was a whole day tour, I would say this is as excellent value for money.

Our tour guide, Mr. Liu, was enthusiastic, friendly, and attentive, taking excellent care of both adults and children. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to comfortably explore various parts of Beijing. We hope to visit Beijing again in the future. Thank you very much.

Our tour guide Michael was very accommodating and knowledgeable! The Mutianyu Great Wall is well worth the visit! Our family took both the cable car round trip and the chair lift and toboggan to see different stations. What a wonderful experience!

Jessie was our tour guide. She did an amazing job. She explain everything in detail and gives us free time for photos. Also, she gave us the option to do the visit in boat in the summer palace, however we couldn't do it for bad weather.

Huge place. Guides were quite clear. Weather was very hot so it was a good idea to top up for the boat ride and tram.

Highly recommend this Great Wall Exploration with Mubus. Our guide Derek was very friendly , helpful and knowledgeable. Booked with lunch package and the food was superb!Delicous and lots of options to choose from.The journey to the Great Wall was full of fun.

I booked the Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace experience and it was amazing! Our guide, Yoyo, was wonderful, knowledgeable, patient and kind, always making sure everyone could enjoy the experience. The tour started with a bus from central Beijing to the Great Wall. During the journey, Yoyo explained how to make the most of our time and helped with tickets. I loved that we were free to explore independently. I did the toboggan experience (do it first) and then took the cable car and climbed up to Watchtower 21. The views were incredible, and exploring at my own pace made it even better. We then visited the Summer Palace, where Yoyo gave us an excellent guided tour with lots of interesting history. I also joined the optional Old Summer Palace tour, which was fascinating, especially seeing the remarkable ruins I had previously seen in history books. Thank you, Yoyo, for making this experience and helping me get a taxi home! I highly recommend this tour!
