I recently took a tour with Discover Beijing Tours in April 2013. The tour company did a wonderful job and at a very reasonable price. Prior to leaving they were able to customize a three day tour for me. My English speaking guide was waiting at the airport and she and our driver took us to all the places we had asked to visit. My favorite part of the tour was being able to eat at less ‘touristy’ restaurants. I really enjoyed eating where the locals eat. We did most of the major tourist attractions in the greater Beijing area, but also did some off beat attractions such as a Chinese acrobat performance. I would definitely use this tour company again.
