I had a great tour of the Summer Palace with Roy, where I learnt a lot about the history of the place. As other guests cancelled at the last minute, I also had the luxury of a private tour. Roy was a very pleasant tour guide and dialogue partner. I would book this tour all over again and can well imagine visiting other sights in Beijing with Roy.

Second tour we did with Roy, again it was a great experience. I think the summer palace it’s a must if you are in Beijing, and him giving all details made it even better. Thanks Roy!
