Amazing experience - We made a private guide in the Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall with Marmo 牧童遥指, an old man guiding us. He was incredible, very experienced and kind. He explained very deeply every aspect of the Forbidden City, and it was a real pleasure walking with him and listen to all of his stories!

Excellent full day tour of Forbidden City & Great Wall - Excellent tour of bother the forbidden city and Great Wall with tour guide Justin and driver who met me at hotel and returned me there afterwards. Justin had great knowledge and pitched it just right I. Terms of how much to explain and when to hang back a bit. I really enjoyed the day and would recommend Catherine Lu tours if you have a stop over day in Beijing.

Private layover trip to Great Wall of China and Forbidden City - My husband booked the layover trip with Catherine Tours after looking at their reviews online especially because I was traveling solo and wanted someone safe and reliable. I must say they were just that and even more! The driver picked me from the airport as was clearly communicated in the email. Even though he didn’t speak English, he was super nice and chivalrous and helpful. I met my guide Nico on our way to the Great Wall of China. Nico is amazing!!! He is very friendly, knowledgeable and gave me an exceptional tour. He has an undergrad in History and you can feel his passion as he talks about the history of China. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him on various topics and learnt so much! He also took me to this farm restaurant for lunch and the food was simply delicious! I love spicy food and he made sure he got me to the right place! After lunch we headed to the Tianmenn Square and Forbidden City. Again, Nico would explain everything in detail. Finally, I was dropped to the airport well before my boarding. The trip did not feel rushed and well paced. They are also very communicative and make sure to keep you in loop with any questions you may have. Since my phone wasn’t working, my husband got in touch with the tour and they relayed the information to my husband and me. I will highly recommend Catherine Lu tours to everyone and Nico especially was simply amazing!!

Absolutely amazing trip to the Great Wall - We had an amazing layover trip to the Great Wall with our guide, Nico. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and we got a lot of great information. He even knew more about our own country's history than we did. We also had a great driver who was very kind and helpful (think his name was choo, not sure the spelling is correct). The Great Wall was beautiful and we had it mostly for ourselves.
