Catherine Dong Mei was an excellent guide! We learned so much about the history and culture of the places we had been and enjoyed a great traditional Chinese lunch! She was kind, warm and easy to talk to. Her English is great and she is very professional. Totally recommend her for anyone new to Beijing! Thank you!
