A wonderful trip to China! - Wow! We just completed our tour with your company and we loved it! A former student of mine had previously booked a tour and was very happy with it, so we looked into booking our tour with you as well. From the very beginning your company did an outstanding job of communicating with us and planning everything for our trip. It was wonderful to get off the plane in Beijing and be met by our driver who took us to our hotel. The next morning we met our wonderful guide, Lena, who helped us to tour Beijing for three days, including the Great Wall. Each day our driver was prompt and expertly navigated us through the busy city streets and highways. Lena was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to gain a better understanding of Chinese history, the culture, the city, and people. She even made sure we were seated on our high speed train to Xi’an before sending us on our way! In Xian, we were treated equally as well with door to door shuttle service, another fabulous guide (Grace), and more wonderful information, service, and hospitality. It was a real treat to also have Catherine Lu join us on our tour of the Terra Cotta Warriors. Each day we were fed a delicious, authentic Chinese luncheon that pretty much filled us for the day. If you’re planning on traveling to China, we would highly recommend that you book your trip through Catherine Lu Tours.

10/10 Tour - From the moment Mr Chang picked the family up at the airport and then with meeting outstanding guide Adam we experienced 3 full days of outstanding knowledge, timely, flexible for what we wanted to do and great sense of humour we experienced the best tour we have booked during our numerous travels . Would recommend anyone to book Catherine Lu Tours her communication was outstanding, clear and prompt. Do ask for Adam as his knowledge and friendliness is superior.

3 day private health of Beijing - Did a 3 day tour of Beijing with a 3 year old toddler which is a challenge. Our private tour guide (Edward) allowed us to customise our itinerary so we managed to visit most of the attractions, and did so comfortably and in an unrushed manner. He also helped compiled some family photos and videos which we appreciate. Communication with the tour operator, Catherine Lu, also very straightforward with good booking support.

Mandatory guide if you want to make all attractions - It is essential to have a guide in China to visit the Wall, the forbidden city ...... because all booking apps, station information are in Chinese, just as an eSIM is also. Present your passport at all ticket controls at the station or at each museum too. Mai explained us well in English the information about the sites. In short you can see twice as many attractions with a guide. Optimize your stay.

Wonderful tour, highly recommended!! - Three days was not enough to see all of Beijing but we managed to pack in many of the highlights thanks to our wonderful guide Lena. Despite the traffic and time constraints, we never felt hurried and a special request to visit the art district was happily organised. Lena took care of all the tickets, organised wonderful lunches in restaurants we would not have found ourselves and ensured that our driver appeared magically to whisk us to our next destination at exactly the right time. We learned so much from listening to her and thoroughly enjoyed her company. We can't recommend Lena highly enough. If I could give her six stars I would!! We also organised a pick up from the port and a drop off at the airport through Catherine Lu Tours and everything went like clockwork. Thank you to all at CLT who helped to make our visit so memorable and enjoyable.

Customised to your needs - We booked airport pickup and 3 days day tours. Both Guide and driver are on time. They do not rush customers as it goes with your own peace and likes. Do not bring us go shop to buy. Guide, kathy is knowledgeable give good explanation of history at temple of heaven and forbidden city. She also helps to check on my request where to rent costume near to temple of heaven. She asked around to get contacts and help booked a slot for me. Also, she checked on palace dessert set info which I am interested to try out. Normally need take a quene number and wait but lucky we reached 11am on a Thursday and need no take q number. Can buy and have seats immediately. She also told us which toilets are cleaner and less crowded to go too. Also helped to book Da Dong duck restaurant for us. I am sure booking Catherine Tours will give you a peace of mind when travelling. All is taken care of. Thank you!
