Catherine Lu Tour agency was so easy to work with that we booked several of their tours. Their tour prices are also the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our Drum Tower, Bell Tower, Hutong, Lama Temple, Confucius Temple tour and our guide, Lena, was personable and extremely knowledgeable about each of these sites. We highly recommend this agency and Lena.
