My parents, my husband and I did this tour with Joyce and she was great! She was knowledgeable and was able to personalize the tour to our needs. The company and Joyce are HONEST and extremely easy to work with. The day we went, we weren't able to do the rickshaw ride and they gave us some money back which is amazing for any tour group. Thank you Catherine Lu Tours!

Thank you Joyce for a wonderful day. As a return visitor to Beijing, with a first time visitor as my companion, I was pleased to be able to customize the day. You catered for all our needs - even finding us a hot pot place for lunch in Hutong. I was very impressed with the quality of the car and driver also. I would recommend a custom tour (and Joyce) to new comers to Beijing and anyone who has been before and wants a different type of experience. Joyce’s knowledge of the Forbidden City was fabulous.
