Great tour with Attila

Attila was an excellent guide! He made the history of Sisi and the Summer Palace come alive with fascinating stories and context. You can tell he is passionate about what he does, and that made the tour even more enjoyable. I learned a lot and had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend taking a tour with Attila if you have the chance!

Nice and interesting visit as you can visit various rooms full of history. Although the person who guided us the visit had two small French and Spanish groups and apart from being very old almost barely could speak Spanish and was very lost during the visit. It was still very rewarding to learn more about Sisi's story.

Operator response

We are really thankful for your review and recommendation! It is good to hear that you had an amazing tour.
