I traveled to Beijing for business and since I was spending two weeks in Asia, I decided to stay the weekend in Beijing and see the city. Given my limited time, I decided to go with a private guide, and I am glad I did. While private guides are typically more expensive than going on a tour with 40+ people,... More

Catherine has provided us with an excellent service for these days in Beijing. there were no bad surprises at all. All her recommended tour was just great.

It wasn’t planned this way. I went to Beijing on business. After interviewing six business interpreters, Catherine Lu was clearly the best. At the end of the first day of business meetings, Catherine was so good at what she did that I voluntarily gave her a raise. She didn’t ask; I just thought she was that excellent. In the course...

Catherine was busy on our days but she took care of us anyway. Had a great driver pick us up at the Taijin International Port and drive us to Beijing.

We found her to be pretty good and deserving of her ratings. Her knowledge and history of Beijing's site is excellent, as well as her communication in english, and like most reviewers mentioned,...

We just returned from our trip to the Far East. We had booked Catherine Lu several months in advance to be our private guide for 4 days as we had read so many great things about her and we didn't want to be disappointed. And we certainly were not! She was an excellent guide, was always on time, spoke very... More

Catherine was our tour guide for our 3 day trip in Beijing. She was incredibly helpful even before we arrived - in helping with selecting airlines (flew on Dragon Air from Hong Kong to Beijing), hotels (Park Plaza Beijing), and setting the travel itinerary. She took us to local restaurants, which were both very delicious and also very inexpensive. We... More
