It was a small group tour with a Chinese university student. The guide was very kind, and the scenery of Mount Lao was breathtaking! I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour operator was Infinite Tour. I contacted them via whatsapp and they responded very fast and in good English. They were very clear and detailed in their response. Our guide Xiao Zhu is very patient, efficient, caring, professional. I was always lagging behind the group as I was busy taking photos, she constantly kept a lookout for me. She was observant to our needs. Driver was careful and punctual. We are very pleased with opeartor, guide and driver service. . Best value for money tour in our entire trip. Will surely book future tours with Klook. Thank you very much!

We made the most of our day in Qingdao, visiting all the famous spots at a great value. Everything was perfect, from the pre-trip information and guiding to the punctuality of meeting times. However, with five people, including the driver, in a sedan, the seating was a bit uncomfortable during travel.

Great experience. We (4 others and I) had a driver/guide who grew up in the Laoshan area. She is witty, extremely knowledgeable and professional. I didn't remember her name though. My rudimentary understanding of Putonghua a.k.a. Mandarin, has helped though.

I truly enjoyed the experience! The performance was professional and interactive with audiences. Wonderful experience! One reminder is not to book VIP for elderly as the seat design was slightly not friendly for audience to sit down/get up.

We really appreciate that they were able to accommodate us last minute. The guide was very patient with us and gave us extra care knowing that we were not locals. The views were phenomenal, but make sure to prepare for a sweaty climb up the mountain. Downsides were: 1) The bus was really hot - the airconditioning was barely tolerable in the afternoon heat. 2) The bus driver smoked at every stop opportunity, leaving the interior with a perpetual cigarette smell.

It was a wonderful and unique trip. Though we cannot speak Chinese, our driver communicated with us without any barriers via mobile translation app. Qingdao is stunning with very friendly locals. Special thanks to the helpful customer service for all the support. We can’t wait for our next trip

The famous Qingdao Beer Museum was incredibly crowded, but thanks to our advance reservation, we were able to go straight to the entrance, show our tickets, and get in. The product information stated the meeting point was the 'Tourist Center Ticket Plaza,' but I didn't know where that was, and there were too many people to use the multilingual audio guide. I thought it would be a location inside the museum, but it was hard to find. Despite that minor disappointment, we enjoyed exploring the facilities and savored the honey peanuts and two glasses of beer per person. The gift shop was quite large, and many people were buying beer, but you can purchase the original beer at the airport duty-free shop for the same price, so there's no need to carry it around beforehand. The honey-flavored peanuts are truly delicious! You can also find these at the duty-free shop. We also used the unlimited beer included in the package, and I went to the 1903 LAB. You can start using it from 4:30 PM, and the interior was clean, the staff were friendly, so we had a great time enjoying delicious snacks and drinks. You just show your QR code in advance and keep asking for refills. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance!

What to know before visiting Qingdao

Quick snapshot of Qingdao City and what draws visitors

Qingdao City is a coastal destination where museums, tours and attraction passes lead bookings, and demand has clear high and low points through the year. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in December and falls to a low in August, so the city alternates between lively peak periods and much quieter stretches.

Best months to visit for atmosphere or lower costs

According to Klook booking data, December is the busiest month while August sees the lightest demand. Prices trend separately from demand at times: they are typically lowest in November and reach their highest around June, so the cheapest months are not always the least crowded. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for November or the late‑autumn shoulder months; if you want peak‑season atmosphere and a busier program of activities, plan for December.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines tend to book about five days ahead, with many last‑minute bookings possible up to a couple of days before — so short, flexible trips work well. If you plan to travel during the December peak, consider locking in key museum visits or popular tours a bit earlier (around twelve days) to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare available options and grab timed tickets or passes that suit your itinerary.
