A Great Way to See All the Highlights! - Working with Catherine Lu Tours was an incredible experience - easy communication, fully customizable, and simply the best. We would highly recommend working with her team to book your next trip to Beijing. Everything from airport transfers to restaurants were discussed and taken care of ahead of time - not to mention seeing all the sights! Anything you want to see - the team will make sure you get to it and on your schedule. It was truly the experience of a lifetime!

Adam made our tour exceptional - Our tour with Catherine Lu tours was excellent. Our tour guide Adam was amazing. He speaks English and as well as we do, he was very kind and took very good care of us. He is a History professor so his knowledge of China is absolutely amazing, he has a wealth of knowledge and has a great sense of humor. We are exceptionally happy with our tour and know that it would not have been nearly as good without Adam.

China trip - We used Catherine Lu Tours during our visit to Beijing, and we were completely satisfied. They made sure we covered everything on our bucket list, while also tailoring the experience so that both kids and adults had a great time. Our guide, Sonia, was absolutely fantastic – fun, helpful, and attentive throughout all three days. We would definitely use Catherine Lu Tours again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Beijing or other parts of China.

Couldn’t recommend higher - I travelled to China with my 60yr old mother and both mum and i had an amazing experience. Catherine lu and team helped us organise everything from our airport pick up, travel between cities by bullet train and tickets to each location. Our guides were great at explaining the history behind everything and were really accommodating. We loved everything being sorted also so we didn’t have to stress. Our tour guides in Beijing Sonia was amazing! We couldn’t be more thankful for our time. We also got to see a bit of Xi’an with our guide Tina and chengdu with our guide Qin who were both also amazing! All of drivers were really nice and cars always clean and comfortable.

Unbelievable Beijing - Catherine Lu Tours did an amazing job setting up our 4 day trip in Beijing. From the start, her staff was very responsive and helpful. I sent her the dates of our travel including Airport arrival and Cruise departion times. She put together several tour options including Airport pickup and transportation to the cruise port which was 3 hours away. She also provided hotel recommendations in the city of Beijing. The tour included all the major sites, a Chinese Acrobatic Show, and daily lunch at local eateries. Susie was our tour guide and Mr. Lui was our driver for the four days. Susie was delightful and very knowledgeable of the Beijing area. She was also very accommodating of our requests. She kept us well informed on everything that was going on throughout the day. Mr. Lui was an amazing driver. We were in Beijing from May 1- 5, which is a big Chinese holiday time. Beijing was overcrowded with visitors. Mr. Lui navigated the streets and dropped us off at precise locations in the midst of crazy traffic. I was very concerned about planning a trip in Beijing on my own. Catherine Lu Tours handled all my concerns and gave my wife and I am "Unbelievable Time in Beijing."

An extraordinary experience thanks to the best tour guide! - We spent 3 AMAZING days in Beijing (2 families) thanks to Catherine's tour agency!!! We managed to see almost all major highlights despite the bad weather conditions on 1 day. ADAM (our personal tour guide) was the BEST guide we ever had!! His knowledge was extraordinary, his English impeccable as well as very discreet, polite, flexible and accommodating to any of our requests!! We had several last minute wishes, which were all met without any hesitation or complication!! Really remarkable! All mini vans we got in were very clean and comfortable for 8 travellers but could carry up to 11 passengers I think. Adults & teens left Beijing with the best impressions and we can't wait to go back 😎 Thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏

Great tour, great tour guide! 5* recommendation! - Highly recommended and fantastic experience! It was 7 of us (4 adults and 3 teenagers). Catherine Lu and her team had been amazing from start to finish! Catherine and Jenna have been very helpful and responsive from the beginning making planning and email communication very easy. Our tour guide Adam, has been excellent!! Very knowledgeable, very patient, very accommodating and taught is a lot about the culture and monuments throughout the years. Even when there was a gale/storm during our stay and while the whole city panicked, Adam remained calm and reshaped our tour so that we can make the best out of it! Definitely a great tour and overall 5* experience!
