I had a 10 hour layover in Beijing last week. CatherineLu Tours made it possible for me to see the Mutianyu Great Wall within that time and be back for my flight. They were extremely prompt in their replies to my emails, answered all my questions, and gave explicit instructions on how & where to go and when. The driver was very courteous & helpful. I’m very grateful for their assistance and have already recommended their service to a lot of people.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour which was just long enough, but not too long to ingest all the knowledge that our tour guide Connie imparted on this. Connie's knowledge of Tiannneman Square, The Forbidden City and the associated elements around them really kept us interested throughout the entire walk. Just coming to terms of just how steeped these places of interest are in history, superstition & power struggles over the many Dynasty’s. The pace & timing of the tour was just right given the high season as we were able to see everything without it being too crowded and the way you managed our itinerary meant we really didn’t have to wait anywhere for any real period of time. Along with Connie's excellent command of English we would highly recommend her and the tour company to anyone that is interested on this kind of tour. The weather made the overall experience just perfect, thanks again.

We took three of the half-day walking tours with Tracey, who was amazing (Tiananmen & Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven). Her English was great. She called us the evening before our first tour, picked us up at the hotel each morning, and provided us with the history and cultural details of the sites we visited. We gained far more as a result of doing the guided tours than we would have doing it by ourselves. Booking the tour was super easy. We had a wonderful experience and felt like this was money well spent. We recommend Catherine Lu Tours highly.
