A WONDERFUL , INFORMATIVE, EDUCATIONAL tour with our BEST GUIDE Cathy! What a wonderful experience today when Cathy and our driver Liang picked us up from the Tianjin Cruise Port to take us to our Beijing Hotel. Along the way Cathy gave us a cultural history lesson about China and its creation, ancient China as against the new modern China, along with the history of the Chinese written language, with some examples or words and how they are formed. Cathy pointed out lots of points of interest along the way to keep the drive from being boring. Her incredible knowledge and infectious laugh was a bonus we were not expecting, but thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Also, Cathy’s English was perfect. The car was a new, beautifully clean Buick, and so very comfortable; including water to keep us hydrated. We would thoroughly recommend Cathy and her team!

Cathy was amazing! We were warmly greeted and treated like family from the moment we connected. We spent two days with her. She showed us around Beijing, teaching us about history and current culture. The second day we visited the Great Wall. She was fun and tailored the experience to our wishes. The restaurants she took us to were amazing. Highly recommend.

Cathy is a wonderful guide passionate about her city and delighted to share what she loves about Beijing. Her emphasis is on making sure you are happy and experiencing what you want to while visiting China. Cathy took care of us for 2-days. First day we went to Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, Temple of Heaven and then to an amazing show. Second day we went the Great Wall (awesome) and on a rickshaw ride in a local hutong. Loved every minute of it. Our drive Tsu (Small Dragon) was a wonderful drive!
