Well organized tours by Amanda and Justin - We had one day private tour of the Great Wall and summer palace with Amanda and half a day private tour of Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City with Justin. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable, well organized, and professional. All the tickets were purchased ahead of time. We used the cable car for the Great Wall transportation. It was specially fun for our three year old daughter. The restaurant selected for the full day tour was great and the food taste and quality was great. The portion sizes were very generous. Overall we enjoyed the tour and 100% recommend it.

Great tour - very well organised. Recommend! - Peter, our guide was excellent! He was experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about Chinese history. The architecture of the Forbidden City is spectacular to look at but without a guide it's difficult to understand the depth of what goes on beyond it. Highly recommend this tour.

The perfect tour to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall! - My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Joe. He called our hotel the night before our tour to confirm our itinerary. The next morning he arrived on time and efficiently escorted us through our day. He was thorough in his explanation of each location's historical significance. He chose an amazing place for lunch - which was absolutely AMAZING! Overall, it was exactly what we were hoping for. We highly recommend Joe and Catherine Lu Tours.
