Great tour with Edward - We had a full day with Edward and he did an amazing job teaching us about all the sites in the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and The Forbidden City. We also had a great lunch. We were lucky to have such a great guide that was so thoughtful and really wanted us to have a great experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and especially Edward, if you want to learn about these historical areas and get the best pictures.

What a great day - Fantastic day with CatherineLuTours and a magnificent driver, Mister Lu and our amazing guide Justin. We were picked up punctually at our hotel and the car was very spacious and comfortable. Mr Lu and Justin made us feel at home immediately and the day just got better as we visited the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven. Justin was knowledgeable and efficient and we really had a fantastic day. I would highly recommend this team and this company.
