5.00My tour guide was Lena. She picked me up from my hotel and we walked the short distance to Tiananmen Square from there. Lena is very knowledgeable about the history of China and the various buildings. T Square is an awesome sight, and Lena was able to illustrate the history of the PRC very well, and I left with a real sense of the significance of the site. The Forbidden City was our next stop, and Lena knew so much about the city itself, its inhabitants and the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was a fascinating way to spend the morning. Well worth it!
Everything is perfect

5.00I had only a few hours to explore the Forbidden City and Summer Palace and Jenna was the perfect guide. She picked me up at my airport hotel, expertly adjusted the routes through the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City to make sure I made the most of my limited time. I learned so much about what I was witnessing with her explanations. Her knowledge of the sites is very impressive. Jenna is kind and intuitive. I completely recommend her and Catherine Lu Tours.

5.00We had a fantastic morning with Jenny as we toured Forbidden City learning about the Emperors and their concubines. Jenny pointed out little details along the way which made this 4 hour tour interesting and memorable. We got an early start (recommend) and Jenny met us at our hotel and then expertly navigated us through the rush hour crowds of the metro and then the massive FC complex itself.
Everything is okay.

5.00A wonderful tour of the Forbidden City with our guide Sonia. The whole process from booking until the end of the tour was well organised and seamless. Sonia was very kind and super knowledgeable. She was a great communicator and taught us so much about Beijing and Chinese history as well as about more modern life. Even though the area itself is very busy, she helped create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. It really enriched our visit of the capital and I would highly recommend.

5.00Angel, our tour guide, was fantastic—highly knowledgeable and engaging. Her English was excellent, and her deep understanding of history made the experience even more enriching. She effortlessly guided us through every checkpoint without rushing us, even taking the time to capture great group photos. Her storytelling brought Chinese culture to life and sparked a newfound interest in it.
Fantastic tour
