Best highlights in Beijing - My wife and I did the Heaven Temple tour with Maggie. It is such an interesting place with a lot of history to learn.
Maggie was very attentive and gave us a lot of information. She could even speak spanish, which made the tour even better.
Catherine also was our guide during our visit to the forbidden city, we loved how they took care of us!
Great experience! 100% recommended

the best company in China - From the first contact, Ms. Catherine gave me all her attention, clarified my doubts and together we put together an itinerary that I was very pleased with. Payment was made conveniently and securely for me. Everyone I met on the company's team was very kind and professional (I'm talking about the guides and drivers). In all the cities in China that I visited, the support I received from Catherine was essential for me to make the most of the trip. I am very grateful to her and I will always recommend this company.

Amazing day Trip in Bejing - We had an amazing day trip in Beijing with our guide Cindy. She took us to see the Summer Palace, Panda House, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. As a grand finale, we watched an incredible acrobatics show at the Red Theatre.
Cindy was with us the entire day, sharing her knowledge of Chinese history and ensuring we didn't have to wait in any lines. We also had a private transfer between each attraction, making the experience seamless and stress-free.
Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with unforgettable sights and experiences. I highly recommend Cindy as a guide for anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you for such a memorable trip!

Two-Day Beijing Private Tour - We had a wonderful two-day tour with Catherine Tours. Our guide Jack Du was very friendly and has broad knowledge about the history of China and the sites that we visited (Great Wall, Summer Palace, Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Hutong Food Tours and Temple of Heaven). We learned a lot from Jack.
We are grateful for his hospitality. Also, our driver was very nice and friendly. Overall we enjoyed our tour very much and highly recommend the services if you come to Beijing.

YES - Excellent Beijing Tour - Reliable Tour Company - And a great Lunch. - Reliable and professional - made for an excellent tour of the top Beijing sites. Our guide Sonnie spoke perfect English. She made the tour fun and entertaining. We enjoyed riding the super clean, safe and efficient Beijing Metro to several of the sites. We also had an excellent driver for a portion of the tour. Catherine Lu was very open to customizing the tour to meet our schedule. Helpful hint: I worked direct with Catherine Lu to set up our tours - this made everything seamless and she was able to put together a tour based on our specific needs. Forbidden City, Tianenman, Llama Temple and much more. We also enjoyed an excellent lunch at a restaurant that specializes in dumplings. So much to see in Beijing. Catherine Lu kept all promises and delivered an excellent experience for us.

Privé guided day tour - Today the four of us had a guided day tour with Angel. In the morning she came to pick us up at the hotel. The taxi was ready and the day could begin. Angel had made the daily schedule in advance and you could tell that she had thought about it carefully. We started with the Hutong district, Angel walked with us and told us about the area. Then back into the taxi and on the way to the Tiananmen Square, she also had a lot to say about that. That was very nice! They also told a lot in the taxi and there was room to ask questions. After the square we went to the forbidden city. After an introduction we had time to walk through it ourselves. We finished earlier than expected and called her, she was already ready there to pick us up. Then to the Temple of Heaven, she came with us and she also arranged the tickets (just like the tickets for the forbidden city). Then we wanted to eat Beijing roasted duck and they reserved a delicious restaurant for us! Then we went to the Pearl market and said goodbye to Angel and the taxi driver who drove us through the city all day. What a kind, cheerful and sweet woman Angel is! And she knew so much about China! We had a great day!

Best tour of main Beijing sights - Lisa and a driver met me at my hotel in the morning, and we spent the entire day seeing the major sights of Beijing. Lisa was extremely knowledgeable (she's been a guide for more than 20 years) and kind; by the end of the day it felt like we were friends. The sights were absolutely beautiful, you cannot visit Beijing without seeing the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. Even though there were many other tourists, Lisa found some private spots for great photo ops. Lunch was at a hidden, local spot with delicious food. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Beijing!
