Private Summer Palace Walking Tour with Admission Ticket

About this experience

The Summer Palace, a masterpiece of Imperial Chinese Gardens, is four times the size of the Forbidden City—easy to feel overwhelmed about where to start. What’s more, tickets are in high demand during peak seasons and often hard to secure. On this private walking tour, we solve this hassle: our package includes both Summer Palace tickets and professional guide service. Your guide will take you straight to site and explain how this perfect imperial garden was designed, plus dive into Empress Dowager Cixi’s story—how she wielded control over China for 48 years. We offer 3 optional packages to choose from based on your preference: a guide meet-up at the entrance, round-trip hotel transportation included, or a 6-hour in-depth Summer Palace tour with round trip transfer.
