Free free tour por el Palacio de Verano

Roy is a great guide with good english, he gave us many interesting information, would definitely recommend a tour with him.

Loved the tour. We have travelled in Japan and China and went to loads of free tours. This was one of the best with appropriate and interesting information. Would fully recommend to anybody!!

We had a great tour with Roy in the Summer Palace. He shared an important number of historical facts that made the visit of this incredible place very enjoyable! We can see how much he loves his job and the Chinese history! We really appreciate that in Beijing he is the only one offering until now these type of tours on “free walking format” (remunerated based on the appreciation of the participants) in English for non-Chinese tourists!

Since we loved the Hutong Tour so much, we decided to make this tour with Roy. As people who had little background of the Chinese history, we loved this historical data filled tour. It really gives you a global vision of the place and it's history (essentially what is expected from a tour), with plenty of time to sit, take pics and many anecdotes of the life and customs of the Chinese people. Entry is not included, but it's 30-60 yuangs depending on how many inside "private" buildings you wanna visit. Roy's English is perfect. Definitely recommend!!!!

- Informative. - Check the pricing for entrance fees. If you want to explore and see more make sure to account for extra time. - I believe its free for people 60+ years old (double check). -There is reduced fee for people in school undergrates and under. Must show school ID. -Can be a lot of walking for some considering the place is big. - If you only have time to see one palace then this one might be a better option. - Location can be far depending where you are staying. - This tour should be a paid tour since tip amount is mandatory for Roy.
