I am a very happy repeat customer. Ms Li has been utmost helpful in buying the tickets for me and providing very detailed directions, including how to get to the destination using different modes of transportation, the route to take within the attraction and where to use what QR codes. Highly recommended!
Great! I made a last minute decision to visit Summer Palace just the day before, and I have the visit planned for 9 am. They helped me secure the QR codes very quickly just before the tour started, and what I was surprised was the series of messages providing very detailed guides on how I should go about the tour and what I should see.
The merchant made contact shortly after purchase. We purchased the tickets on the day before and the QR code tickets were sent on time. Merchant was polite and helpful. Entering the park was quick and seamless. Highly recommend.
The experience was seamless and the self guided handbook that shared through WhatsApp definitely helped a lot! It saved us the time and we got the most out of the trip.
Provided clear direction on how to navigate Garden site which was clearly a very good value adding service when we only only expect some simple directions.
Very detailed explanation of what and where to do/go within Summer Palace; even though it was just purchasing an entrance ticket. Very impressed and thanks again!
