Tour Guide was very knowledgeable. Overall experience was positive.
We spent an enjoyable afternoon with our guide, Leo. He promptly picked us up at our hotel after confirming the time and date the day prior. While navigating the metro system of Beijing, he safely led our party of four to the Summer Palace. His thorough knowledge of the history and culture of the country, and the era of The Dragon Lady Cixi, helped us to fully appreciate the magnificent site. It was a beautiful and warm day for our visit, with throngs of local tourists visiting which added to our experience! We feel fortunate to have had such an excellent guide to see the Summer Palace!
