Great Wall , Gubeikou Water town and Beijing - We had an amazing 2 day trip visiting the Panlongshan and Simatai Great Wall. Justin was our guide and he ensured we had the authentic experience we wanted while hiking along the wall or visiting the Gubeikou Water, and later on while visiting the Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square . He also took care of all the arrangements with the hotel checking in and tickets along the way. Our driver was very good and we had a smoke free car, as requested . Both Justin and driver were very welcoming and friendly, very punctual and professional.

Best guide in Beijing - There were two wonderful tours with local guide Justin. We would like to thank you for all the experiences we had, from the delicious Chinese cuisine to the beautiful tour of the Forbidden City, full of ancient stories, which allowed us to get closer to the extraordinary Chinese culture. I recommend the Justin guide.

Professional and goes the extra mile - Our tour guide Kathy Zheng is professional and well prepared. Her narration was clear and interesting, we had such a good time going around Beijing with her. We could tell she has so much love for history and her country, and our family learnt so much from her. As for logistics, Kathy had all the tickets prepared which made entry to tourist attractions very smooth. We travelled with two elderly and a child. Kathy was thoughtful, and even managed to arrange for a wheelchair rental as my father had difficulties walking long distances during our tour to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. We really appreciate Kathy and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to visit the sites on the itinerary. The lunch places she brought us too were very local and we liked it very much. She even recommended other eateries near our hotels for us to try. Also thanks to Liu shifu and Lu shifu, they drove safely and were always punctual and considerate. Their vehicles were in good condition, very clean and well maintained. I would hire them again when I visit Beijing again in the future. Thanks Kathy and team!

Best tour of Beijing! - I came to Beijing for 1.5 days only to visit the sites. The tour was organised really well. Cindi was very knowledgeable and patient. We visited the Great Wall, summer palace, Tiananmen Square, mansion of prince Gung and the gardens that overlook the forbidden city. We also made a quick stop at the zoo to see the giant pandas! The cars were very comfortable and very accommodating to my schedule and requirements. Definitely recommend for tours in Beijing

Beijing - Our experience in Beijing was greatly enhanced by the exceptional service of our tour guide, Peter. His expertise and knowledge of the sites we visited were truly remarkable. Additionally, the local restaurants he recommended for lunch were authentic and flavorful. We are immensely grateful for Peter's guidance and are fortunate to have had him as our guide during our stay in Beijing.

Fantastic 2 days in Beijing - We booked this tour only 4 days before the trip, so we didn't get the tickets to the Forbidden City. However, our 2 day itinerary covered the other key sights and we had a great time. Kathy Zheng was our guide and she provided in-depth historical details for every place we visited. Entering each tourist destination was seamless as Kathy had pre-booked all tickets. The restaurants she recommended in the Hutong and at the Great Wall (Mutianyu) were also authentic and tasty. Kathy was very kind and patient with our kids as well. Our driver, Mr Li, was very courteous, drove safely, and his Buick was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend booking a private tour with Catherine Lu's company.

Beijing trip in 2 days with family - We had a short 2 and a half day trip to Beijing with our three boys and wanted to see the key highlights as conveniently and efficiently as possible. Right from making the booking, we had regular communication about how we would like to tailor the tour. We had a great driver and comfortable car. Sonia was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable and funny and was able to very efficiently get us around the sights without feeling rushed at all. She was able to engage our kids with the history of each location as well which we appreciated tremendously and the pictures she took of us were amazing! We made so many memories and Sonia and Catherine Lu tours helped us make them. Thank you.
