Catherine had her guide and driver pick my husband and I up a the cruise port. We were on the Diamond princess. The tour guide was friendly and knowledable. We went to the great wall first. What an experience! It was awesome. We asked the guide if we were going to drive by the bird's nest. She stated it was... More

We did a one day Beijing private tour with Catherine Lu's company. Our guide was Jenni. She was the most personable guide we had ever met. She was knowledgeable, and made us feel very comfortable in asking her questions about China, Beijing, its history etc. We liked her so much that we tried to hire her for Summer place tour... More

We had a great time with Catherine who was our guide in Beijing and arranged for our guide in Shanghai. I have to admit that we were a little nervous about booking an independent guide we found on Trip Advisor rather than through a corporate travel company, but I would recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for a tour...

We, my wife and I, spent 3 days with Catherine Lu during our Asia cruise, what a brilliant decision it was to use Catherine, She was so knowledgeable, she explained so much that just isn't to be found in guide books and importantly kept our tour on schedule. Catherine and her driver were waiting for us at the cruise port... More

Several colleagues and I had spent 12 days in Beijing for a hard working conference, working 19 hours a day, when we all needed to relax before going home to the four corners of the world. As usual, we decided to look for tours and the Internet's the first place to look. When booking a tour on the Internet from... More

My wife and I booked a three day tour through Catherine Lu when our cruise ship docked in Tianjin in April. I had communicated with several other tour services in Beijing in advance but was swayed by Catherine's reviews on Trip Advisor. Catherine was very responsive to all email inquiries and unlike the other guide services did not require full... More

It was an absolute pleasure spending time with Frances last week. Her English was excellent and her knowledge of every site we visited was amazing! Her pace was perfect every day, lunch was incredible and we trusted her to order for us during every meal; she did so beautifully. We enjoyed spending time just sitting and chatting with Frances and... More

We had a super day with our guide Amanda. She was already waiting for us in reception. As we only had one day in Beijing before flying home following our cruise it was important to us to see as much as possible in a day. Amanda made that happen. We started off in Tian'anmen Square and then to the Forbidden... More

We booked our China tours through Catherine based on her Trip Advisor rating - and we weren't disappointed! She totally deserves to be number 1. Our Beijing tour guide - Frances - was by far the best tour guide we've ever had anywhere in the world. My husband and I both liked her on a personal level, but she is... More

Excellent tours! Our guide Lucy was knowledgeable , professional and a pleasure during our Beijing tour. The tour cars were clean and tidy.
