Tour Guide in Beijing

[Chong]

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 !

Yes Chong ! We used him last year and it is a very nice Guy .

He charged us from 9:00 am to 9:00pm Car and all 700 yuan . He is very knowlegdeable with anything that has to do within or outskirt's of Beijing . tell him I gave you his number and he will give you a good price .

Now Arnold..... are you a Barker for this man's business?
So pay heed Chong..... to Uncle BoB's words

all this can be yours "If the Price is Right"

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)
