Great experience with Jerry

Our tour guide, Jerry, was fantastic! He was patient with us all the time and told lots of interesting stories about Summer Palace and Beijing. We don’t know when we’ll come back to Beijing. But now we know where to book a good tour when we come back here.

During the tours she provided many facts and was accommodating for things like quick shopping and photo opportunities. Thank you Renny and team, we had a wonderful time in Beijing and will recommend you to family and friends!
