Amazing 36 hours in Beijing with Catherine

Published on Dec, 2024

Catherine was the best tour guide I’ve met in a very long time. She was happy and helpful all the time and coordinated our time and schedule perfectly. We’ve had an amazing and fun night in the hutongs and central Beijing and an unforgettable full day in summer palace and the Great Wall. I couldn’t recommend her more and I strongly advise anyone that comes to Beijing and need an english speaking tour-guide to contact her.

Wonderful Great Wall Experience!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Today we visited the Great Wall and Summer Palace with our tour guide Maggie! From a planning perspective, Catherine Lu tours was very easy to work with. We are a group of friends traveling from NYC and had a number of questions and requests based on our own research. They were very friendly and accommodating, and we were able to work up an itinerary that fit our needs perfectly. In terms of our guide, Maggie was wonderful! She was friendly, knowledgeable and shared so much insight on China and Beijing beyond just the sites themselves. We would highly recommend both Catherine Lu Tours and Maggie for anyone looking to get a high quality personalized tour!
