A must-see tour in Beijing with a guide of 10 (thanks, Jason!) - We did a tour of the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Lama and the truth is that we left delighted. They are impressive sites on their own, but what really made the difference was our guide, Jason Lee.
From the beginning you could tell that he is passionate about what he does. He didn’t just drop data, but was telling the story in a super-enjoyable way, with anecdotes and curious details that made everything more meaningful. Besides, he adapted very well to the rhythm of the group and was always watching if we had doubts or wanted to delve into something.
In the Summer Palace he helped us to better understand imperial life, in the Temple of Heaven he explained the rituals very clearly, and in the Temple of Lama he got us to appreciate much more the spiritual part of the place.
In short, a very complete and well organized tour, but above all a much more enriching experience thanks to Jason. Fully recommended if you want more than “seeing things” and really understanding what you are visiting.

Amazing tour with Gary - Gary was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind when I asked him all my questions. He told us the history and very interesting curiosities behind the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple and the Summer Palace. If you want to have a great and funny time learning about these important monuments, don't hesitate and book a tour with Gary.

Unbeatable experience - In our case we made the group visit and our guide was Jason Lee. We were very lucky! He explained with passion and joy, giving us anecdotes and some jokes. You could tell that he loved his city and conveyed it to us in every detail. He was always attentive to every detail and worried that all the members of the group were okay! The experience with him was a 10 and the day went wonderfully well!
We will repeat without hesitation! And if we get the wish we will have to come back, so delighted!
