Private Day Tour to Beijing Panda House and Summer Palace

Kristy and Mr. Li met us on time and drove out of Beijing to the lovely lake and the grounds of Summer Palace. Mr. Li did an excellent and professional job driving as we proceeded through the massive traffic caused by the holiday associated with the 70th Anniversary of the PRC. During the drive Kristy gave a very informative and interesting briefing on the history of the Summer Palace and the Empress Dowager. Upon arriving at the Summer Palace, I was amazed at the size of the park and the numerous opportunities for great photos. Kristy took us around the lake and into the quarters of the Empress. We walked at a leisurely pace and never felt hurried. Again, Kristy provided explanations that were informative and easily understood. She also served as an excellent translator for our exchanges between museum staff and shop clerks. After the Summer Palace, we made our way back to Beijing and visited the Panda House at the Beijing Zoo. There, we were delighted to see several pandas, both large and small. They were fun to watch and there were many great opportunities for photographs. It was a wonderful way to spend the remainder of the tour. After the Panda House, Kristy gave us a choice of restaurants to have lunch. We chose a little place near our hotel. This was a delightful and relaxing way to end the tour. Kristy and her driver Mr. Li provided us with and excellent tour that was conducted in a professional, relaxed, and fun manner. I would highly recommend Kristy and Mr. Li for any tour. They were Great!
