Tour of Summer Palace
We had a really interesting afternoon exploring the Summer Palace with William and a small group of other visitors. William sent us a picture of the pickup location to help find it and was responsive on WhatsApp. He was very knowledgeable with a lot of information on the various parts of the Summer Palace and the people that lived there. William also sorted the group transport to the Summer Palace and then on the return to a location from which we could get the Metro
