I can recommend Miss Li/ Sunflower Tours!
danielkK7532UE, October 2026
I have booked a couple of times where Miss Li was organizing everything for me. I got all information I needed and each time it was smooth sailing. Miss Li is kind, to the point and well organized. I can only recommend her!

A beautiful experience
Traveler06529224061, October 2026
I had a great time in Summer Palace. It’s a gorgeous place and I wish I had more time to spend there. Half a day is definitely not enough. Miss Li helped us with booking the tickets and her tips were really helpful on how to get to the palace and the places to see while being there.

Summer palace in September
Tourist08531970109, September 2026
Excellent service from start to finish. The provider contacted me in advance to collect all the information needed for the ticket booking. A couple of days before the visit, I received all three tickets along with detailed information about logistics, the visiting procedure, and clear instructions on what to see and how to make the most of the visit. They also provided a helpful map of the Summer Palace, which made navigating the site much easier. I really enjoyed the Summer Palace itself. The further you walk into the grounds, the fewer people you encounter, and the atmosphere becomes very peaceful and relaxing. The ticket also included entry to Suzhou Street, which was a nice addition to the visit. It was raining during our visit, sometimes quite heavily, but even the rain didn't spoil the experience. In fact, the palace and gardens had a special atmosphere in the rain, and we still had a wonderful time exploring. After the visit, the provider followed up to make sure everything had gone smoothly and that I was satisfied with the experience. Very well organized, attentive, and professional service. I really appreciated the excellent communication, detailed instructions, and attention to detail. Highly recommended!
