Start your morning with a visit to the Temple of Heaven, where you can see the splendid architectures and local people's morning exercise. A rickshaw ride through Hutong Alleys are followed to trace the life of old Beijing people. Then visit a beautiful old temple in the center of Beijing - Lama Temple. At last, explore the Summer Palace, where one can enjoy natural beauty and the grandeur of ancient royal garden.

Fantastic Beijing Tour with Rocky — Highly Recommended! I had an amazing experience on this tour, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Rocky. From the very beginning, he was punctual, organised, and welcoming. His explanations of the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, and the Hutongs were clear, engaging, and filled with fascinating insights. Rocky was extremely attentive and thoughtful throughout the day. He guided us smoothly through the crowds, checked in on our comfort, and even helped us take wonderful photos at all the best spots — he really knows the good angles! The entire tour felt relaxed and enjoyable. The van was clean, spacious, and comfortable, making the journey between locations very pleasant. With Rocky’s great sense of humour, patience, and genuine passion for Beijing’s culture, the whole experience was not only informative but also truly enjoyable. Thank you, Rocky, for making this tour one of the highlights of our Beijing trip. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Beijing!

very beautiful day! our guide Michael Ren was so kind in suggesting us where to eat, very prepared with many historical facts to tell us. He was also very nice in telling us some supermarkets along our way to the hotel where to buy typical Chinese food.

This is a must go for first timers to Beijing. Helen, our guide was very informative and patient. She ensures that we are all well taken care of even up to the end of the trip, where she advises us on how to get to where we want to go next. The rickshaw ride was a joy, easy on the feet and a quick summary of the places at Hutong. Summer palace is such a beautiful place, it is a pity that we only have limited time there and could not explore more of the surrounding and the bridge.

Our tour guide, Rocky is very good. He was able to manage the time despite long queues during the long china holiday. The only issue in the trip is the crowd but is totally understandable.
