An enjoyable experience - We had a wonderful time. Cathy our guide made sure we had the best seats and view she was wonderful. We sat with two Americans and they just added to our whole experience which I will never forget.

Great evening event - From start to finish, this experience was truly special. The driver arrived right on time and went above and beyond, helping me find our seats at the theater and even assisting with getting a program. The opera itself was a beautiful and the performance that transported us to another world. The costumes were stunning, and the humor woven into the storytelling kept us captivated throughout. Sipping on tea and enjoying traditional snacks as I watched brought an extra layer of charm to the evening—it felt like a true immersion into Chinese culture. After the show, the driver was waiting for me and took a detour to the illuminated Tiananmen Square which was the perfect end to a perfect night. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an a good experience Beijing!

Awesome opera experience - Cathy our guide was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic person to explain the show and Chinese culture to us. She explained the history of opera in China and background on its status within the royal family in the Qing dynasty. She set us up with fantastic seats at the theatre and the rides to and from the theatre were very comfortable. The show itself was beautiful, with live music and live singing. There were 3 different stories told throughout the night, and our favorite was the martial art comedy show ! Overall the night was a great experience for us during our trip in Beijing. Would recommend the show, and Cathy as the guide!

Breathtaking show at the LiYuan theatre - What an evening at the LiYuan Opera to start our stay in China! A breathtaking show composed of three stories that highlight the talent and artistic skill of the actors, the costumes and the makeup. Everything takes you into a magical atmosphere. Many thanks to Cathy who perfectly organised transportation while our hotel was in a pedestrian zone and for her warm and smiling welcome. A very good evening. We absolutely recommend!

Do not miss this - INCREDIBLE - What an incredible night we had at the Opera! From the minute we were picked up by our driver and Cathy, it was a great evening. Cathy talked us through the Chinese Opera, the stories of the show and the customs behind it. She also gave us a lot of information about different sites around Beijing on the drive to and from the theatre, loved this! This made the show so much more fabulous as we understood what was happening and didn’t need to read the subtitle screens. The show… MINDBLOWING… each performance was remarkable and so different from the one before. All the performers are so talented and it was such an incredible evening.. Thank you Cathy for looking after us and being so so amazing!!!!

Highlight of Beijing with our SUPER host Cathy - This VIP experience was THE highlight of our trip to Beijing. The artists and show are world class. The other world class aspect of this experience was our event host and transfer. Cathy was our guide and event host and she has a world class knowledge of the show and the meaning and history behind this incredible experience. Cathy is friendly and fun and made us smile and feel so welcome. Our driver Su was efficient and knowledgeable and the vehicle was immaculate and clean. As an international traveller I cannot recommend Cathy’s tours enough to anyone wanting a personalised and professional service and experience. We will definitely book with Cathy again when we come back. Five STARS.
