Amazing Beijing Experience with Expert Guide Cathy - When traveling in China, having a guide who speaks good English is very important. Cathy has excellent English, she is also a very resourceful woman; for example, she had the initiative to help us find transportation from the hotel to the Beijing airport, as well as transportation from the Shanghai airport to the hotel. The tour was full of authoritative and interesting stories about China because Cathy was a history teacher. The driver, Yang, was also very nice, he took us around Beijing in a very nice car. Cathy and Young make a good team and coordinate drop-offs and pick-ups at all destinations with ease and expertise. We definitely recommend Cathy and Yang for this very amazing and memorable tour of Beijing. Although we were supposed to go on a group tour, chances are that there are no other tourists with you on that particular day. If you are so lucky, the tour is completely private for you.

Probably the best private guide in Beijing - Very great 2 days of experience, we went to the great wall 1 day and the other day visited the highlights of Beijing city. Lady is very bubbly, great english and knowledgeable about the history and stories behind the different sights. She adapted the tour to our demand and came up with great restaurant recommendations for lunch, local experience, no tourists, really authentic. We booked the option with a luxury van and very safe driver and great airco in the hot beijing. Can highly recommend Cathy as guide, this was my second trip with her.

Great private guided tour run by a bubbly tour guide! - We are a family from New Zealand visiting Beijing and China for the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Cathy and she is so enthusiastic and friendly. She was very informative and helpful for the full tour, organised the whole tour so seamlessly, perfectly arranged the early start, and to beat the crowds which was great to see everything, we had perfect weather which was not hot, best for two days, on time She met us at our hotel lobby and the driver and his car was very luxurious and comfortable. The lunchtime food was excellent. Thank you all, highly recommended!!! 👍

Best way to visit Beijing and the Great Wall in two days - Choosing this tour was a great idea. Days before arrival Cathy was already preparing our visit. She contacted us to confirm everything and offered her support to arrange the airport transfer. In two days we had enough time to visit Beijing’s main tourist points of interest as well as the Great Wall at one of its most beautiful spots. She arranged a night show (acrobatic attraction) for the evening so that we had a very complete first day. Food was included in our two day tour and the quality was outstanding, always doing to good local places. Organisation was perfect all the time. I would add that Cathy has the perfect character as a guide: lots of sense of humour, open and talkative and always ready to give good explanations and answers to our questions. We traveled as a family with our four kids and we had a private van to our service during these two days, always ready to pick us up with the air conditioning on, made our trip very comfortable in these summer days. Beijing has been a great experience that we could enjoy to the maximum thanks to Cathy. Very recommendable!

Family Tour of Beijing - Cathy showed my family of 4 (2 kids ages 5&7) around Beijing for 2 days. We saw all the sights and the whole process was so seamless for us as the tourists. We are very savvy travelers and we know we couldn’t have done it without Cathy and her driver. There was minimal waiting at each attraction and at the end of each attraction the driver always pulled up immediately. That helped us immensely as it was extremely hot and the kids (adults too!) had low tolerance. There was always water, tissue and snacks available in the car. The lunches she provided were excellent and again, no waiting! She took great care of us and by the end my daughter preferred her over us. It may have helped that she gave the kids gifts as well! Added bonus of not having to go buy souvenirs. Highly recommend!

Amazing Beijing trip with tour guide William - We had very pleasant family trip in Beijing due to the extremely knowledgeable and friendly William. He speaks very good English and knows the history of the different dynasties very well which makes our understanding of the various attractions extra interesting. The tailored made itinerary is very good and they made sure we have an enjoyable experience. The driver service was also very managed and very helpful in the heavy traffic in Beijing. Highly recommended to use his service.

Very good tour and hospitality, food was great. - Absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was well spoken and his driver was extremely nice. This tour is worth the extra money to have a private experience. The lunches we had together were fantastic at local restaurants where we were the only westerners. I was very happy with the entire experience from greeting to tours to drop off. Solid!
