Our tour guide Helena of Leo's tour was fun and knowledgeable. Both places had more to see and know than we thought. We were well taken care of

Helena was a fantastic tour guide. She showed up early, asked what we wanted to focus on and even took and emailed pictures back to us. Very personable, knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us a history lesson, information about art/ architecture and checked to make sure she was addressing our interests. On the way back to our hotel, she even helped us learn more about places we had visited days before. Excellent tour guide. Driver was really amazing too.

I could not have asked for a better private tour experience. I had already checked off the Great Wall and Forbidden City so this tour was a nice combo of two other important sights in Beijing. April was a terrific guide -- knowledgeable, courteous and prompt at the pick up time. She purchased all tickets without hassle as we went along, including tickets to extra side areas of the Summer Palace. She was willing to tailor the tour to what I wanted to see (i.e. boat ride to the arch bridge rather than hike up to the temple) and was willing to answer all my questions fully. She even took me to a local hangout for lunch and (fortunately) fronted the money for me when they did not accept cash. Our driver Mr. Wong (I think is his name) was always prompt, drove safely and even provided water.
I feel like there was enough time to see each site and get the gist of it, though one could always spend much more time at each. The tour lasted about 6.5h (compared to the 8h listing) but ended at a natural conclusion. I was frankly exhausted from the beating summer sun and previous days of sightseeing so this was no problem on my book. Since April asked me how long I wanted to spend at Temple of Heaven, I'm sure you could get the full 8h easily if you elect to spend a bit more time at each place.
Overall, this was a great way to spend a hassle-free day sightseeing in Beijing without all the tourist traps trying to get you to buy things (was not pressured once!). A well-deserved 5 stars.
