A meaningful and fun experience in Beijing - Jenny with Catherine Lu tours is an amazing host and guide.
We had an incredible time both at the Tiananmen square/ forbidden palace and the Great Wall.
Easy to book and flexible for foreign travelers. Jenny and the other tour guides were also easy to get along with and very knowledgeable about the history and the various sites. I’d recommend this tour group to anyone coming from abroad to China and are looking for a meaningful experience.

Mutianyu Great Wall & Summer Palace Private Full Day Tour - More than experiencing the stunning views of historical Great Wall and Summer Palace, my family were thrilled and appreciative to the helpful and friendly companion with our tour guide, Wendy.
With her interactive guide, I felt like walking through history, back to the time. My wife and children made friend with Wendy very quickly and enjoyed their conversation throughout the day. My mother also felt the caring from Wendy. Turned out everyone had a great day.

Highly recommend!! French-speaking guide! - Excellent day with Catherine Lu agency with our very kind French-speaking guide Jasmine and driver visiting the Mutianyu Great Wall (including Toboggan to come down which adults and kids alike loved). After a delicious lunch we visited the Summer Palace. Very well organised and we learnt so much about the sites we visited and Chinese culture in general. Highly recommend!!
