I booked a two-day private tour with Catherine and very much enjoyed myself! On the first day we went to the Great Wall and Summer Palace, and on the second day we went to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the Pearl Market. Catherine did all of the coordinating, getting tickets, planning lunch, etc. She was very knowledgeable, and hearing/learning more about the history of what we were looking at really enriched the experience for me. Catherine loves to take a lot of photos (which is awesome if you’re a solo traveler and want to be in pictures), but if you don’t want to be in pictures, you’ll need to let her know. She also had a driver for both days who was incredibly professional (had waters and masks for us, was on time/early, etc.).
Catherine was very thoughtful in her planning and even printed out a picture and had it framed from our first day at the Great Wall… it was a perfect momento to bring home and is currently sitting on my work desk! I hope to go back to Beijing again, and I would definitely book additional tours with Catherine… highly recommend her!
