What a fantastic experience !

Published on Apr, 2024

What a great day ! Another fantastic recommendation from our tour operator Cathy who provided all information as soon as we requested them. Our day started by meeting the driver and the tour guide in our hotel lobby. Nancy, our tour guide, was amazing! We were so impressed by her deep knowledge of the history of China but also by her ability to provide such nice stories and facts for every place we visited in a way that would be easy for us to remember. A lovely person who took a great care of us along with the driver Mr Yang. We loved every single place we visited, and it definitely worth it .

Educational, enlightening, informative, great fun and a must do tour with the BEST guide

Published on Mar, 2024

What a wonderful day Summer Palace, Lama and Confucius Temples and Imperial College, really interesting, love the concept of respect your teacher from Confucius. Great tour, wonderful information from the wonderful (BEST) tour guide Cathy, so entertaining, educational and great fun. Certainly a must do tour, but of course only if Cathy can fit you in to her busy schedule. Don’t be shy, book now how ever far you have to travel.

Cathy was a delight to be with. She is delightful and provided a great tour filled with interesting activities (calligraphy, tai chi, drum performance). The day was as delightful as she was. Highly recommended. .
