Had a great private tour... - Had a great private tour with my host Amy. Everything ran super smoothly. We did the Great Wall early which was a great idea to avoid the crowds. Forbidden city was amazing especially with the insights from Amy. Happy to recommend this tour

5-Stars!!!! Wonderful Beijing Experience with Wendy!!! - Wendy was an amazing guide! Her deep knowledge of Beijing’s culture, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall made the day unforgettable. As a native speaker of English, her clear communication made everything easy and enjoyable. When I wasn’t feeling well, Wendy was incredibly patient and caring—offering rest breaks and even finding green tea to help settle my stomach. I felt completely safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout the tour. Wendy’s professionalism, warmth, and passion made this experience exceptional. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Beijing!

Full-Day Private Tour of the Forbidden City and Chinese Wall - Through our travel agency in Italy we got in touch with Catherine Lu tours, we needed a van to get around and they provided us in a short time with the required vehicle, also seen the bad weather on the day of the visit to Beijing they suggested changes and schedule changes to be able to do the organized tour anyway. I am very satisfied and I highly recommend everyone to rely on them, the only drawback, which do not have many Italian speaking guides, it is therefore recommended to book well in advance, our guide JIANG was very good and very patient with all of us!

Great experience in Beijing - We booked a full day excursion with Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Summer Palace plus a full day to the Great Wall at Jinshanling. Our guide Justin was excellent, good English en knowledgeable. He also gave us ample time to enjoy on our own and choose great lunch places for our breaks. All in all, 2 excellent days!

Great experience! - I had a truly wonderful one-day tour with Maggie. Everything was flawless from start to finish. She is organized and efficient. The service was punctual, with no delays or complications whatsoever, and communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Choosing a private tour made all the difference — it allowed me to learn more about each site, ask questions freely, and go at my own pace. Maggie was attentive and perceptive. Noticing my interest in traditional Chinese vases, she took the time to explain the history of Chinese enamel and even brought me to a local workshop where I could see the production process firsthand and purchase a piece of my own. It was a truly special experience. I now have a unique and meaningful souvenir — a piece of Beijing that I will cherish forever, even from the other side of the world. Highly recommended!

Fascinating and enriching Beijing experience - My family and I had a great experience with Adam. He was friendly, patient, and so well-studied and knowledgable about the history and culture of the sites we visited. The next time we come we may take a whole half-day just at the Great Wall--that was the shortest but most inspiring and jaw-dropping part of the tour. Thanks very much Adam for the company and conversation, and thanks to Catherine Lu Tours for arranging it all!
