Tour Guide in Beijing
« on: August 19, 2010, 08:18:38 pm »
Can anybody recommend an English-speaking tour guide that they used in Beijing ? Cost per day ?

Also a decent reasonable priced hotel by the Great Wall or close to it ?

Thanks !

Thanks Arnold,

Am I assuming going 'dutch' on meals and who pays the fuel ?

Anybody else with a second/third option ? Anybody know a female tour guide [ it's for my sister who's more comfortable with a female ]

What about favorite hotels that anybody stayed at ?

Thanks !

Sorry to not have replied earlier.
The front desk can speak english, yes, and about how far away it is from the Great Wall, well, I would say more than one hour (easily) by bus.
But maybe by the way did you find another hotel and some other good advice?
(about the cost per night, I don't really remember, but I can check again if still needed)
