Best guide ever! - We had a fantastic private tour with Cathy. She shared a lot of interesting historical facts during the tour, making the experience even more enriching. Best guide ever ! At the hotel, Cathy and driver Su arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time, showing great punctuality. The driver was excellent and always waited for us right after we finished our sightseeing stops. Overall, everything was perfectly organized, and we highly recommend Cathy for anyone looking for a great guide!

Excellent tour for family, - I enjoyed the trip very much and had the most enjoyable times. The tour guide, Kathy, was very helpful and described many landmarks that are difficult for tourists to know if without a guide. I highly recommend booking an imaginative experience with her. She was also very keen to pick me up from the hotel and take me to the train station as planned in advance. We also had an ,amazing peking dyck lunch which was included, as well as a good and clean car ser Thank you. Cathy

Amazing Tour with a fun experienced local guide for the whole afternoon 🙌🙌🙌✌️ - Cathy is the best tour guide! We had some rainy weather and we were lucky to find Cathy and did last minute booking with my family. She was able to re-route us to some amazing historical places and wowed us with detailed historical knowledge. Her energy and knowledge really made our day. We enjoyed a world class acrobatic show and really enjoyed our time. Very highly recommended!

Great experience great local guide - We did the forbidden city tour, me, my husband and my mother. It was a very beautiful day and our guide William kuang was perfect. He knew a lot of information, he was a very pleasant company. He took us from the Tiananmen Square, through the forbidden city, passing also in a museum with imperial artefactos and ending up the hill where we could see the forbidden city from above. Perfect day !!

Memorable private tour of Forbidden City - Our Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City private tour was guided by Linda organized by Cathy, very excellent service and translation. Linda explained about the history of the square and the palace. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Private driver is friendly. Teahouse trip was out of schedule, interesting but of course we have to buy! Beware not to be too comfortable after the tea demonstration. We have circus show to conclude our trip. Memorable experience. Thank you Linda and Cathy!
