What To Expect

In this walking experience, we are going to visit the magnificent imperial palace: the Forbidden City. Entering from the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, we are going to beat the crowd and visit the palace through a less-know route, such as the only black colored roof building-Pavilion of the imperial library, the grand opera tower in the palace and the residence of empress Dowager Cixi: the hall of happiness and longevity, etc.
Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu section of Great Wall is one of the best-preserved section, which is 73km from downtown of Beijing and also a good place for hiking. You will have the chance to take toboggan down the great wall.

5.00We spent 3 days in Beijing, unforgettable, we hired the Enterprise Catherine Lu Tours, which gave us an impeccable experience, this agency, everything works right, was a private tour 3 couples, from the airport that picked us up and took us to the hotel (great) and all the tours, entrances and all internal transport, train bullet, flights, until the return to Brazil. The only thing we bought on our account were the return tickets to China. The very friendly and helpful driver, the guide Lis (or Lili ), fantastic and very experienced, I have no words to describe her, on a note would be 10 or 1000.
We had amaizing time! Will be happy Justin to be our guide again!

5.00It was an amazing day. The trip was excellently organised and everything went smooth. Justin was an excellent guide. He was waiting for us at the hotel lobby in the morning and we spent the whole day together. He is very well educated and gave us very interesting and useful information. Thank you!

5.00We spent one week in Beijing accompanying our children who went there for an educational competition. We had Catherine tours recommended by a friend who lived in Beijing and chose one of our free days to make a private tour, which ended up being the high point of our trip! First of all we were sent a well kept, clean and comfortable car. Added to it, the best driver ever, Mr Lee, always with a smile on his face. I have car sickness and it was the first time in my life that I don’t feel any nausea, despite being sitting in the back. He drives so smoothly you barely feel any car movement. And second of all, one of the best tour guides I’ve used. Nico was absolutely great. We visited Forbidden City and The Great Wall, Mutianyu section, as suggested by Nico, and it was amazing. No one was there and pictures turned out fantastic. We enjoyed the great views and lovely breeze just for ourselves. On the way down we used a fun tobogã. Nico was extremely knowledgeable of his history and proud of his heritage. He interacted with all of us in such a kind and fun way, giving a huge attention to each one of us individually, making sure all our needs were fulfilled and we were happy and enjoying a great time and learning a lot about the visited places. He was super kind to help us ordering pizza to the children who were on their way back from the competition even after we finished the tour. Very few people in China speak English and he had the patience and went an extra way with us to a Pizza place just to help us with the communication. I just recommended him to my brother who is going to Beijing for an exhibition. I highly recommend Nico and Mr Lee from Catherine tours to everyone!! Ask for them and you won’t go wrong!
