Great tour by a great guide
Our guide Mike was excellent! We booked 5 tours from viator (it turned out they were all from the same tour provider) and he was the best of the 5! He is humorous, knowledgeable and accommodating. After the tour, he made an effort to bring us to a local restaurant for lunch instead of the usual touristy eateries. Thank you Mike!

Interesting
This is an enormous park which is well worth a visit. The actual palace was destroyed by the British but the ruins are impressive. We had to show our passport to gain entrance but it wasn't scanned so honestly I don't know if I had a ticket or not. It isn't very well signposted for people who don't speak Chinese so I suggest downloading a map on your mobile

Everything perfect
Fast and easy way to get the tickets, got the QR-Code and could scan it at the entrance. No complains

Not to be missed!
We had a great experience overall - it was nice to have a private car to ferry us from each location, the driver was also very friendly. Lucy, our guide, was insightful and interesting, and explained the various sights and locations very well. We would highly recommend this tour and visiting these locations!
