    Great Experience

    Sean_L, Sep 2026
    It doesn't include touring all of the Summer palace, but the guide Kevin and his associate are excellent and very accommodating. Also, they are very knowledgeable and informative.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Many thanks for your great review! This tour covers main highlights of the Summer Palace instead of the entire park. Our guides keep working hard to deliver vivid and helpful explanations for every guest. Thank you for recognising their efforts. Thank you for choosing Mubus. Wish you all the best.

    Not bucket list destinations

    Kartik_S, Aug 2026
    Not in the same league as Forbidden City. They are ok as "check box" items. Not doing them doesn't mean you're missing out.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    We appreciate your candid review! We understand that expectations and impressions of historical attractions differ among travellers. While the Forbidden City stands out as an unparalleled landmark, other sites hold their own historical value, even if they may not resonate equally with every visitor. Thank you for your honest input which helps us better understand guest preferences. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again.

    sarah was an excellent tour guide she gave is clear explanations on all the monuments very proud of her work and it shows that shes more of a friend as opposed to a guide loved every second of it

    Glad I came

    Efe_A, Jul 2026
    An okay tour. Good scheduling of the day. There were other tour guides with different languages so a good range in the company. I found myself comparing my tour guide with them and others I've been on tour with. The English wasn't as clear sometimes and there was silence where information could have been given i.e. on the boat ride to the summer palace. I think this could be down to the tour guide Jimmy being the lead so he seemed busy with his phone at times - likely arranging/ confirming things like the bus pick up. Jimmy was very informative when speaking and I learnt a good few things.

    4 things in one day - saves time and trouble booking

    Marcin_M, Jul 2026
    We took the tour to save time and trouble doing 4 things in one day in Beijing - it worked just fine - we recommend this option

    Wonderful tour with the best tour guide!

    Marilou_D, Jul 2026
    I had a wonderful tour of the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and the Summer Palace. Our tour guide, Gary, was one of the best very organized, professional, and attentive throughout the day. Before the tour, I received clear instructions on where to meet and how to get to the meeting point, which made everything easy and stress-free. During the tour, Gary regularly checked on everyone to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Lunch was included and offered a good variety of delicious dishes. At the end of the tour, there was heavy rain, but Gary went above and beyond by making sure we all got home safely. He even arranged a taxi for me, which I really appreciated. Overall, this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. I highly recommend it, especially if you have Gary as your guide!

    Lots of helpful information

    Hayley_L, Jun 2026
    Gary was the best guide! We had an incredible day with him and our group seeing every location. We got tons of great information in this tour and still had plenty of time to explore and take photos on our own. The bus was a great way to experience everything and made it very easy. The pecking duck lunch was so good, we had tons of Chinese dishes we shared with our group! Definitely recommend!

    Tour with Gary

    Kassandra_M, Jun 2026
    We had an amazing experience on the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour. Our guide, Gary, was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Beijing. He provided interesting explanations at every stop and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. His organization and attention to detail made the tour smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well planned, and the Peking duck lunch in the middle of the tour was a delicious highlight that gave us a chance to relax and experience one of Beijing’s most famous dishes. We learned so much and saw some incredible places, all thanks to Gary’s expertise and enthusiasm. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you, Gary, for making our day so memorable! 😊🏮🇨🇳

    Big and diverse group with kind and wonderful people from all over the world. Gary successfully managed and kept us together. Gary has great communication and time management skills!

    Beijing temples and palaces

    Joe_O, May 2026
    The tour covers a number of very important sites in one day. The guide Gary was exceptional and also ensured that my booking was changed before the tour after it initially didn't go through correctly.

    Temple of Haven / Lama Temple

    Prabir_D, May 2026
    The trip to the Temple of Haven / Lama Temple was excellent. Our Guide Keven Huang was very professional and his English pronunciation was excellent. Kevin sent all the details by video in advance in WhatsApp as the exact place of the meeting point and even a day before notified about the expected rain and we should bring our umbrella. Kevin explained each and everything in detail and also replied to our questions in detail. The best part was that he even helped few of our group members to get a Taxi from Summer Place to our Hotel. and guided other members to the metro. Mr Kevin Huang was an excellent guide and this tour is highly recommended for tourist visiting Beijing Prabir & Soma

    I had an amazing time on the tour. Jimmy Yan was truly wonderful and I couldn’t have picked a better guide. the price was great too. He was very kind and easy going and very knowledgeable about Beijing and Chinese culture. Be prepared to walk a lot! The lunch was very lovely as well it was at a local restaurant with authentic Chinese food included with the price. I also met very lovely people on the tour and we all had a great time. it was a beautiful experience, if this is your first time in Beijing I recommend this tour 100%. thank you Jimmy!!!

    Tour with Jimmy

    Sarah_A, May 2026
    Early start to the day. Unfortunately we weren’t able to see the Temple of Heavens as there was a Presidential meeting at the time, however they offered an alternative, which was not too bad. I enjoyed the tour. I made new friends and our tour guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable bout the history of China, I was able to learn more about the culture and traditions of this country. We had Peking duck for lunch and it was delicious. Jimmy was very attentive and made sure we were well hydrated as it was a hot day, and also made sure we were able to find our way back to our hotels. Recommend.

    wachimanp, May 2026
    Nice staff but a little rush. Also they should include boat ride at the summer palace in the package. Although optional it was pretty much mandatory otherwise you walk by yourself and meet the group later.

    A great day out in Beijing

    Nick_K, May 2026
    This was an excellent tour. We covered a lot of ground and it was a long day, but Jimmy was an excellent guide. Boat trip was fun and the lunch excellent. I recommend that this tour combined with the Tiannenmen Square and the Forbidden City tour would suit a lot of people as they don’t overlap in places visited. Lots of group photos!

    Great day tour

    Tina_Q, May 2026
    We had a great day tour all round. Jimmy was a brilliant guide, great English and was very knowledgeable, we learned all about the history and culture of the sights we went to. Jimmy was really friendly and helpful throughout the day and made the tour really enjoyable.

    Excellent tour!

    Julie_G, Apr 2026
    Excellent tour! Fast paced so make sure to put your walking shoes on but we covered a lot in one day! The lunch was outstanding!! We very much enjoyed this tour! Great day!

    Jay, Best Tour Guide

    Josephine_L, Mar 2026
    I was very pleased with my tour experience as a whole. My tour guide Jay was very organized, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. He even helped me and my friend get a taxi to go back to the hotel and assisted me in my battery pack. Our Beijing Peking Duck lunch experience was amazing and unforgettable. He is an excellent tour guide and i would highly recommend recommend Jay to friends and family.

    Incredible places!

    Daniel_M, Mar 2026
    The places are beautiful but Jimmy, the guide, made the experience more interesting by sharing his knowledge and stories about every single place we visited.

    Magical day!

    Jamylle_A, Mar 2026
    Had an amazing day getting to explore and dive deep in the local history of Beijing and its ancient temples, understanding more about their purposes and relevance during the dynasties periods. We also had a wonderful experience trying the famous Peking Duck and its various side dishes, everything was so tasty, and for the first time, I've tried Barley tea! We also have to thank our impecable tour guide Joe, who didn't refuse to answer not even one of our hundreds of questions (he also knew all the answers! Haha) Overall, it was a magical day! Thanks Joe and to the company!

    Excellent

    Best guide ever

    Marzena_K, Feb 2026
    It was very busy because of the Chinese New Year but our guide Jimmy was so patient and good. We saw everything we were expected to see had a delicious lunch and he even helped us get a taxi and waited till we were safely in the cab. Jimmy spent the entire day till late in the evening because of the crowds to make our day amazing. Wonderful guide.

    Must do when in Beijing

    Oyemi_A, Feb 2026
    Amazing experience!!!! Everything perfect, special thank to our guide JIMMY YAN 😊 Must do if you don’t have too much days

    Most Amazing Tour with an Amazing Tour Guide “Jay”

    Sonia_R, Feb 2026
    I had the absolute pleasure of touring with Jay, and he was beyond amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and the Summer Palace. His explanations were detailed, engaging, and easy to understand. He spoke very clear English and made everything accessible and interesting. Jay is also extremely friendly and thoughtful. At the Summer Palace, he noticed how cold it was and kindly allowed us to stop for hot tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and even a bite to eat. That level of care and consideration made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was well organized and thorough. My only wish is that we could have tried the bikes on the lake at the Summer Palace. Even though the tour was quite full, adding an extra 30 minutes to incorporate bike riding would make it even more special. Beyond the sights, this tour brought together such an amazing group of people. I met Alexandra from the Philippines, Ariana from Argentina, two young men from Amsterdam, and a lovely couple from Italy. It was a wonderful cultural experience that connected people from all over the world. I am so thankful for this experience. I would rate Jay a perfect 10 — actually, beyond a 10! Highly, highly recommended! Thanks Jay! Sonia

    This was a great tour...
