I am a seasoned elderly widow travelling on my own. I found ChinaTour on the web and put myself in their hands completely for 4 days in Beijing. I was met at the airport, did the 3-day small group tour plus an evening tour (Peking duck) tour with guide Nicola (speaks English, a necessity for me). The 3 day tour covers the major highlights in Beijing and the guide was knowledgeable. It was quite a busy 3 days! I was picked from and delivered to my hotel (also booked through ChinaTour) each day. On the 4th day I flew (independantly) to Xian where China tour arranged an individual terra cotta army tour for me. This was also good. I certainly recommend their services. I suggest that you print out and take with you the itinerary for each day's tour with you, as on one day my guide wanted me to combine the day and evening tours. By having it with you you can ensure that all points are covered as described. My guide took me for an unscheduled foot massage (short, cheap and OK- unexpected extra payment required though) and after that there was no time to visit the Olympic stadium (as scheduled and which I would have preferred). It was not made clear to me that the foot massage would mean that I could only see the stadium whizzing by from the road. I wondered what 'interest' my guide had in the foot massage??!! I didn't have th e print out of the tour with me. Luckily I had a free day on my own in Beijing after the tours were over and so I got to Olympic park on my own. Overall I have no hesistation in recommending ChinaTour.
