Beijing｜Prince Gong’s Mansion + Summer Palace + Old Summer Palace one-day tour [In-depth explanation by the tour guide]

Tour guide very friendly and helpful. Package follow according.

Tour guide Zhang is a first-rate storyteller. The commentary is like listening to a stand-up comedy, as if you have walked into a time tunnel and traveled back to the Qing Dynasty.

The itinerary was well arranged and smooth. We visited every attraction without missing any. The tour guide was humorous and gave detailed introductions throughout the trip, which was quite interesting.

Thank you for the one-day tour led by Miao Yutong. In addition to informing us of the check-in details and precautions the day before the trip, Yutong also reminded us to keep warm in case of snow. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and meticulous care made the originally tiring trip a lot easier. I hope I can still receive her service next time I come. Prince Gong's Mansion and the Summer Palace allow people to fully appreciate the national strength of the Qing Dynasty during its heyday, while the Old Summer Palace gives people a completely opposite feeling. After visiting these three scenic spots in sequence, in addition to marveling at the beauty of the buildings and parks, it also makes people reflect deeply.

Tour leader Lan's explanation was clear and detailed. I thought I wouldn't see much in half a day, but in fact I gained a lot. I would also like to thank the team leader for his help. I lost my phone, but luckily the team leader was very kind and willing to help me.

The day before the trip, the tour guide did not take the initiative to add WeChat. It was me who took the initiative to contact the customer service, and the tour guide added me on WeChat. When we gathered on the day, after I saw the tour guide, I took the initiative to ask if I was your guest. The tour guide said that there was no single guest on my list, so I kept waiting at the gathering point. When the gathering time passed, there was still no tour guide. I used the customer service to ask if there was a tour group today. The customer service said there was. Finally, the customer service contacted the tour guide and found out that it was the tour guide who made a mistake. My tour guide was the one I took the initiative to ask at the beginning. Fortunately, I asked the customer service immediately, otherwise I would have been stood up. However, the customer service’s positive attitude was very good, which allowed me to successfully complete the one-day tour. Taking part in a one-day tour can save a lot of energy and time, and you can go to 3 points in one day. It is suitable for travelers who are visiting Beijing for the first time.

If you want to understand the history of Prince Gong’s Mansion and the Summer Palace, you must listen to the rich and vivid explanations by the guide Xiaolan, so that you can better understand the historical context and character traits.

Bad review! Five stars only for the comment to be pinned to the top! The trip is very urgent and there are almost no stops during the whole journey. Elderly people must not sign up! I am 27 years old and in good health but I can’t keep up with the speed of the tour guide! I wanted to take a few photos quickly but I didn’t have time at all, which was extremely disappointing. Moreover, when we visited the Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace in the afternoon, the tour guide said that we need to pay an additional fee of 200 RMB for the cruise ship, battery car, etc. He said that it is not necessary to pay, but if not, you will need to go to the place where they disembarked within half an hour at the Summer Palace. , he noted that it would take an hour to walk to the disembarkation meeting point. How can we walk an hour in half an hour? In addition, he also mentioned that if you walk to the Old Summer Palace by yourself, you will not be able to complete it in seven days and seven nights, and you will need to pay RMB 80 to take a battery car or boat. He said this without implying that we had to pay, so the total tour fee was 500 RMB per person. I reported to the tour guide that he said that the relevant cruise ship and battery car fees were mentioned in the itinerary, but I repeatedly searched on the kkday page. The page mentioned that the tour fee included the tour guide, tour bus and admission ticket fees, but did not clearly mention the cruise ship and battery car fees. You need to pay extra, the whole trip seems to be cheated, and there is no time to take pictures. It feels like you have never been there before. The worst travel experience I have ever had! To be honest, I am not targeting the tour guide. I know that he is just working under the instructions of the travel agency. It is strongly recommended that travel agencies and KKday should modify the group fee or state in the terms and conditions of payment that cruise ships and other fees need to be charged separately to avoid making guests feel cheated! This is the WORST travel experience I've ever had. It's a SCAM which included lots of hidden payments, if you choose to go for this tour, please be prepared u will finally need to pay RMB$500 in total per person. And the speed of the tour is way too fast, if you can't walk fast, please do think twice before joining! Please also be prepared that you will have NO TIME to take any photos during this tour!

The itinerary is smooth and there is nothing you need to worry about. There is a self-funded project, you can choose whether to participate or not. The whole trip is less taxing than the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Although the tour guide is a bit rude, he is very efficient, responsible and considerate. One of the group members brought suitcases and planned to rent them for storage, but the tour guide immediately told him that there was free storage. No need to waste money. The explanations are very clear, and they also recommend the places to eat and drink in Beijing. This is a very satisfying day trip

Tour guide Xiao Cui is serious, has a good temper and is patient. The entire tour explanation is also informative and he will also remind the group members not to buy indiscriminately. He is worthy of praise.
