CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I spent my last day in Beijing with Cathryn and it was a perfect way to end my visit. I broke away from my tour group and I am so glad I did. Based on my shopping profile, Cathryn had mapped out a two stop adventure. The first was a humong lined with boutiques, restaurants and the best yogurt in Beijing ( which we tried). I didn't buy that much, but I loved wandering into the shops where the prices were reasonable and I didn't have to bargain. From there, we walked to Lotus Lake, a a beautiful setting with lots of Sunday activities and more boutiques. It gave me a taste of life in Beijing, something one rarely gets on a tour. Thank you again, Cathryn, for a day that I will not forget.

I travel a lot and love shopping!!! Many times I have left a city wondering what i missed... Planning me and my mom´s trip to Beijing I started thinking how we could get the most out of our shopping trip. I found Cathryn and after completing my wish list and adding a few more questions I felt really secure that this would be exactly what we were looking for:)

It´s really important that you tell her exactly what you are after even if it´s not on their list. Me for example - love markets :)

Cathryn picked us up at the hotel and we left for Yashow market. Cathryn helped me bargain, whispering in my ear what would be a good price and coaching me all the way. Her tips where great and we really stepped up the bargaining process a notch!!! Shopping with Cathryn was easy and a lot of fun!!! Really like going shopping with a great friend.
I strongly recommend it!

I will definitely be shopping with Cathryn again next time I visit Beijing.
