A Memorable Great Wall Experience with Shane!

I had a fantastic tour of the Great Wall with Shane as my personal guide. He picked me up right on time and was extremely pleasant, friendly and professional throughout the day. His English was excellent, and his experience really showed. He made the journey fun and engaging while explaining the history of the Great Wall, its historical significance and how it was constructed. He was also very accommodating in helping me find suitable vegetarian and seafood options for lunch. Overall, a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend Shane to anyone visiting the Great Wall!

Day at the Great Wall

We had a great day with Wendy. She was friendly, kind and had a great positive attitude. She gave us clear instructions on what to expect, and even messaged us the day before on WhatsApp to confirm pick up time. The Great Wall was amazing as we expected. A lot of lines and waiting at different times, but otherwise great tour.

Delightful savory bites!

Fantastic 3 hours spent exploring Beijing through tasty Authentic meals. Met a tour guide in a hotel lobby, took a metro together, shared stories and laughs while eating way too much food. Luckily I had a second half of the day open to walk it off in a park overlooking Forbidden City

Private Full Day Tour: Forbidden City, Tiananmen & Summer Palace

Cary_Q, Oct 2026

Excellent tour of World Heritage Sites

Jenny from Catherine Lu Tours took us on a thorough private tour of the Forbidden City and Summer Palace. She spoke good English and knew everything. These are huge places and a bit exhausting actually but need to be done in a lifetime. The Summer Palace by a lake is very pleasant and might be worth a day by itself if you have the time.
