“Flexible Family Tour”
This was our first post-covid family tour bringing together 3 generations of 14 people, from the youngest aged 5 to the oldest aged 75. In spite of the challenges of managing a big group, it was generally well managed despite minor blips on the first day. Very impressed with Cathy’s versatility and flexibility to cater to everyone’s needs and preferences. Cathy has very good experience and was able to navigate the traffic wherever we went, and did not hesitate to tweak the plans to ensure we get the most of our trip. We were able to accomplish most that were planned out in our itinerary and she fully understood our objectives of introducing the Chinese culture and history to our children. Our family had an awesome time, took lots of pictures on the best spot recommended by Cathy, and brought home memories that we’ll cherish for a long time. Thank you, Cathy!

Mutianyu and Huanghuacheng Water Great-wall Within One Day
“Great way to see the Great wall!”
My partner and I went on a great wall tour with Cathy and Xie in May 2023. It was an awesome and stress-free way to see it. Cathy took us to the Huanghuacheng section of the wall which was pretty quiet due to it being the early morning and being further away from Beijing. If you want to avoid the crowds I'd recommend visiting this section. Cathy has a lot energy and is very outgoing, which made the day most interesting. She has lots of facts and knowledge about Beijing, the Great Wall and Chinese culture. We also saw the Mutianyu section which was moderately busy but still enjoyable, it has great views and the reconstruction part gives the impression of what it once looked like "back in the day". Cathy was more than happy to take endless pictures of us. I'd recommend this tour with Cathy if you want a stress free, everything taken care of experience.
