Quick, easy, and convenient ticketing
Tickets were provided well in advance, making the whole process seamless. We could enter through any gate, just by scanning the QR code at the turnstile. Super easy! We didn’t use the guide so cannot comment on that. The Summer Palace itself was very pretty - we enjoyed the walk around the lake more than the buildings area by the north gate.

Our guide Jessica known as Jo was a most informative guide to give us a wonderful experience and background to the very important sites to see in Beijing. It is a must do excursion

Brilliant experience!
Linda, our guide, was absolutely amazing. She was kind and considerate, friendly and a wealth of knowledge about these significant Beijing landmarks. Mr Liu, our driver, was the best driver - patient despite the traffic, calm, and he made sure that we had plenty if water to stay hydrated in the hot conditions. We had the best day and are very glad that we chose this day trip. With thanks and gratitude to Linda and Mr Liu.

Great day out. Lee was very helpful and made navigating through the at times very busy places easy. It’s an excellent way to spend the day seeing some of the most amazing places in Beijing.

Great City Tour!
We had a wonderful day with our guide Wendy today. She was very professional, with engaging and interesting explanations. The itinerary she arranged was very reasonable. She was as friendly as a friend. The driver drove smoothly and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Lily's tour and also specifically recommend that Wendy be our guide again next time.

Beijing highlights in one day
Great all inclusive tour. Lucy was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of China. Her English was excellent. She kept us entertained throughout the tour with very interesting stories about Chinese history. She really took good care of us and kept the group together in the very crowded areas. She ensured that we were able to see and do everything as advertised. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic day celebrating my mum’s bday at the Great Wall of China tour
The day was wholesome with a start at the Great Wall of China followed by a stop at the jade factory which was unplanned and ended the evening at the summer palace. Lili our guide was exceptional. She is pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful and kind. She suggested things as we went and was super accommodating.
