My wife and I recently completed an incredible 3-day tour in Beijing with our superb guide and host Cathy! Cathy made the entire experience absolutely unforgettable. Cathy was extremely knowledgeable and she has extensive history about China and explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand, she was a true historian!!! Additionally, Cathy has a great sense of humor and shared lots of mythological stories, we had lot of fun and enjoyed every moment! Cathy was also incredibly attentive to all of our needs throughout the trip and handled every detail with professionalism and care. We visited the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, and enjoying a rickshaw ride around the lake which was spectacular! Each day, Cathy had authentic local lunches pre-arranged for us. We would arrive at the restaurant and the food was already hot, fresh, and waiting on the table, such an amazing touch that allowed us to maximize our sightseeing time. Her passion truly shows in everything she does. She was organized, punctual, and constantly making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Cathy is also an amazing photographer and took wonderful pictures for us at every location, which made the trip even more special. We also had a private driver Liang who was very safe and professional! The van was brand new, clean, and extremely comfortable, with plenty water and air conditioned! We were dropped off conveniently at each attraction and picked up immediately after finishing, which made the entire tour seamless without any waiting! Cathy was an absolute professional from start to finish, and we highly recommend her to anyone visiting Beijing. She is truly a must-have guide for sightseeing in the beautiful city of Beijing!

Thank you so much Cathy for a lovely day! BEST guide in Beijing! Cathy was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide! She was very educated on all of the Chinese history and dynasty stories! She was truly an expert in any questions we asked! Cathy has a pleasant personality and is easy-going and we had a lot of fun and she can help navigate whatever it comes up and she’s very good at arranging plans. You feel very safe in her hands! And the tour was very, very educational. We learned a lot! Forbidden city is a must- see and Cathy navigates the crowds well, as well!!! Highly recommend her for anyone who wants a casual tour but to know more about Chinese history!

Had 2 amazing days with Cathy and her driver Su. I really enjoyed the whole trip, everything is perfectly organized. Cathy was an amazing tour guide!! My tour in Beijing was truly exceptional. Cathy is not only incredibly informative about the Chinese’s history and culture, and lesser-known stoires, but she also has a fantastic sense of humor that makes the entire experience both engaging and memorable ! From visiting all places in Beijing to Great Wall tours, I had lot of fun and great time!!! Driver Su was always on time and always secure, large space car ! And the food arrangements was really tasty ! Watch the pics, no further words needed !!! Highly highly highly recommend !!!

My family had a truly wonderful experience in Beijing thanks to Cathy. Even before our trip began, her communication was prompt, clear, and professional. She was incredibly attentive and well-organised, customising our itinerary to suit our family’s needs and ensuring we fully enjoyed every place we visited. Cathy helped us immerse ourselves in the local culture, and our three-day journey gave us an even deeper appreciation for the profound history of Beijing and the Chinese people, from the Great Wall to the acrobatic show to the delicious local dishes. One of the highlights for me was the way Cathy shared local legends and historical stories. It’s also worth mentioning that Cathy is genuinely easy-going and kind. She made us feel as though we were travelling with a good friend, which made the entire experience even more memorable.

We had a fantastic 3-day tour in Beijing with Cathy! She showed us all the must-see sights and impressed us with her deep knowledge of Chinese history. Cathy was energetic, engaging, and always keen to explain what we were seeing. She adapted the itinerary to our preferences, making the experience feel personal and flexible. A real highlight was the authentic local restaurants she took us to—every meal was delicious and unique. We also had a private driver and a comfortable car that picked us up and dropped us off at every stop, making the tour smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Cathy for anyone visiting Beijing!
