Overview of your Beijing tour

Great reasons for booking this tour: As a top ten guide from China with over 16 years experience, you can rely on me to show you Beijing in an amazing and detailed way. Do join me as we discover more unknown areas like the Treasure House, the hundreds of concubines used to live in area in the forbidden city, which are not often seen on a normal tour. Furthermore, you get to skip the line and discover the World Culture Heritage Site, Mutianyu Great Wall with great sections. Also, you get to visit the best Hutong alley area, an old city with authentic vibes. You get to take a rickshaw ride to go through the Hou Hai lake area. It would be a fantastic experience! Especially, visiting Panda gallery, and a tasty Peking duck is another highlight of this three-day trip, as well as Lama Temple the less touristy Confucius Temple. I'll recommend the most lovely restaurant for you with great different style Chinese lunch for each day too.

What an amazing tour!!! I traveled as a husband and wife with a 10 year old daughter. We had an amazing time. Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as accommodating. Cathy educated us while at the same time ensuring we had lots of fun!! There were so many places we saw that were epic!! ( Great Wall of China / Forbidden City / Pandas / Opera and Acrobatic Shows). We have been using Tour by Locals for years and Cathy had to be one of the BEST Tour Guides we have ever encountered. She was very sweet to my daughter explaining things simply yet engaging. Cathy is also a great photographer providing us with many memorable photos. We felt very safe / relaxed in Cathy 's hands as she met us at our Hotel each morning and dropped us back off in the evening after a full day of knowledge and fun!! What a great trip Thank you so much Cathy :)

Cathy was a very organised and friendly guide who took us to all the bucket list sites with a minimum of fuss. She has a very good car and driver ,essential for the distances required. This tour would be very hard to do alone so we were happy to have Cathy's help to negotiate all the myriad tickets and queues.

An amazing few days with the wonderful Cathy as our guide. Our family ( including two kids age 14 and 18 ) ticked off the top sights Beijing had to offer including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square , Summer Palace, rickshaw around Hutongs, the Great Wall and Birds Nest ( site of 2008 Beijing Olympics ). Easy to make arrangements and flexible to change as we went along. Cathy is a fantastic knowledgeable guide, great English, good drivers with air conditioned mini vans. Would 100% recommend.
