Unique local experience - Wanted a unique experience for my children to visit a local's home to learn dumpling making and hopefully immerse them in local culture. Was not disappointed. Catherine planned the visit well and accommodated our requests even the last minute request of having a braised pork dish. The kids had a lot of fun and learning in making the dumplings. Thereafter the chef cooked the dumplings and many other homecooked sumptous dishes . It was fuss free and enjoyable.

Unforgettable experience in Beijing - Today we did the tour in Beijing with Gary and it was an unforgettable experience!!! What we liked the most was visiting an authentic local market, where we could discover the daily life of the people and taste typical products. Gary has been very friendly, close and always attentive to our needs and with great sympathy. In addition, he is a very professional guide, which made the whole tour easy, interesting and very enriching. We highly recommend this experience!

Happy cooking - Catherine gave me a terrific time. From providing transport to and from my hotel (vital in a city of traffic problems) to making sure I understood the process. Her family and team were very welcoming and helpful. I strongly recommend her lessons.
