Totally enjoyed our small group tour of Beijing Summer Palace with our tour guide Candy. Candy filled us in all the history of the Palace and gave us interesting details on the Empress Dowager Cixi!

It is an amazing tour. The winter scene gives a dramatic view of the beautiful summer palace. But what makes it more amazing is the history and story of the Palace shared to us by Candy. She is knowledgeable and know in depth information about almost of everything. She is so kind and funny and lively that her tour is informative and fun also. We love her, so we got her again today as she was our guide yesterday. Thank you candy... you are just great.

I only had one weekend in Beijing and chose this tour because I wanted to see all the main sights efficiently during my quick trip. It was the perfect for seeing many highlights in a short period of time! We saw Tiananmen Square and walked through the Forbidden City (I think we saw about half of it) before heading to the Great Wall in the afternoon, where we had time to walk and explore and had the option to take a sled/go kart ride down to the bottom at the end (highly recommend!) Our tour guide, John, was awesome and funny and made the day incredibly enjoyable. Only piece of advice is that the whole tour except for the bus rides is outside, and in the winter it is very cold - definitely do this tour, but wear LOTS of layers.
