Memorable private tour of Forbidden City - Our Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City private tour was guided by Linda organized by Cathy, very excellent service and translation. Linda explained about the history of the square and the palace. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Private driver is friendly. Teahouse trip was out of schedule, interesting but of course we have to buy! Beware not to be too comfortable after the tea demonstration.
We have circus show to conclude our trip. Memorable experience. Thank you Linda and Cathy!

Enjoyable half day Beijing city tour - Cathy was great! We really enjoyed our tour at the Lama Temple, Temple of Heaven, tea house and acrobat show. Cathy’s english was very impressive, and she always had great insights on the history at each stop along the way. Cathy was high energy and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be calling Cathy for our next trip to Beijing.
