The Tour spent a lot of time in "commercial visits" to a massage place, a Jade market and a Pearl market that were not mentioned as part of the tour.
Added to this, I was in Beijing 2 or 3 weeks before to the celebration for the 70° Aniversary of the Chinese Revolution, when the circulation through the streets was really very restricted in some zones, and on September 14 the tourist guide left us in the street, near to the Olimpique stadium, at a very long distance of our hotel, in a place were the metro station was closed and without any possibility to have access to public transportation. The second day (September 15) we had a similar situation and the tourist guide refused to take us to our hotel before the streets were closed while the people taking the city tour was "obliged" to attend to a massage session. The name of the tourist guide was Linda.
