We had a fantastic private tour with Cathy. She shared a lot of interesting historical facts during the tour, making the experience even more enriching. Best guide ever ! At the hotel, Cathy and driver Su arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time, showing great punctuality. The driver was excellent and always waited for us right after we finished our sightseeing stops. Overall, everything was perfectly organized, and we highly recommend Cathy for anyone looking for a great guide!

I enjoyed the trip very much and had the most enjoyable times. The tour guide, Kathy, was very helpful and described many landmarks that are difficult for tourists to know if without a guide. I highly recommend booking an imaginative experience with her. She was also very keen to pick me up from the hotel and take me to the train station as planned in advance. We also had an ,amazing peking dyck lunch which was included, as well as a good and clean car ser Thank you. Cathy
