Trip to the Summer Palace - Catherine Lu Tours is the perfect agency to organize an enchanting trip to the Summer Palace in Beijing. They take care of all the details (tickets, guide, driver, taking care of luggage) for you and allow you to have a very nice trip even for a short stop in Beijing and they have fair prices. I advise this agency to everyone. I will book again with them if I come back to Beijing.
