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!

Bucket list unlocked - an unforgettable day in Beijing - I’ve been wanting to come to China all my life and I finally got here with my 12 year old son. I booked a one day tour of Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City and The Great Wall and I’m glad I did because navigating them on my own would have been impossible. It was July when we took our tour, and it was very hot and humid but our guide James and the driver took good care of us and made sure we had enough water and were comfortable. The car was air conditioned and very nice and the driver was very safe. James was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. It was all incredible but highlight for us was definitely the Wall - I have been dreaming about it since I learned about it in school and it was even more amazing than I’d imagined. I think I’ve now passed my fascination with China and the history here down to my son! After the forbidden city and Tiananmen Square portion of the trip we stopped at a restaurant that was excellent and James made sure we had dishes we would enjoy. My son has declared kung pao chicken to be his new favourite food. Overall we just had the most wonderful day and wish we could go back and do it all again. Note: there is a lot of walking so make sure you wear comfortable shoes!

Forbidden City and Great Wall Solo Private Tour, - Justin met me at my hotel lobby early and we started at the Forbidden City and Square, then we made our way to the Great Wall. Justin was very helpful in explaining everything and with my interaction with the locals. Making the experience wonderful. Our driver was always on time, with cold water and drove safely to all destinations. Everything was a 10 of 10

Great Wall - Lu the driver was very nice to us and very supportive. The great wall is truly amazing. We took cable car from stage 14 and walked to stage 20. If you are fit I would suggest to walk your way back to stage 7 and take the other line. That's the only thing we didn't know and potentially would have been more convenient if someone told us.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Unforgettable Birthday Tour in Beijing – A 100/10 Experience! - This was hands down one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! From start to finish, everything went flawlessly. I was picked up right on time from my hotel and treated with such respect—it honestly felt like royal treatment. My tour guide, James, was amazing. He was down to earth, super knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor that made the whole day even more enjoyable. We visited iconic landmarks like the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City (Palace Museum), and James made sure we captured every moment with tons of photos. He shared so much history and insight at each stop—it was like traveling with a friend who also happens to be a history expert! The tour happened to fall on my birthday, and they made it incredibly special. They wished me a happy birthday and even surprised me with a birthday cake! It meant so much, and I truly felt celebrated. Lunch was delicious, the pacing was perfect, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. I have zero complaints—just gratitude for such an incredible day. If you're planning a trip to Beijing, do not miss out on this tour. Book it—you won’t regret it! And if you can, ask for James. I recommend him 1000%. He’s simply the best! Thank you again for making my birthday so memorable! 🙌🎉

Family Tour - We were very happy to make the tour with our guide May Wang ... could not have been more pleasant. She was extremely attentive to our children. We became friends in a few hours together. All we have to do is thank your attention.

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!
