 | I will have a few extra days after a conference in Beijing and am looking to hire a tour guide who can share the history and politics, and show me some of the the main sights plus some off-the-beaten-track sights. I have found several tour operators that offer private tour guide on line but can't tell which are good and which to avoid. Any and all suggestions would be welcome - thanks! |

| When are you going to be there? You could always track down a college student. |

| I'll be free from Aug. 11 thru mid-day on the 14th. How does one find college students? I'd also love to find interesting things to do at night - maybe even tours to join up with others. Has anyone ever heard of/used Beijing Impressions tour company? Thanks. |

| Heh. I'd just head to Beijing University. Someone can speak English there. Granted it may not be very clear. Explain your situation and you could probably find some help. I just wander around the city. I wore out a pair of shoes the last time that I was there. |

| thank you. I will be making arrangements some time next week, so will check this out as well as any other links that get posted. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had found a tour group called Beijing Impressions on line. Has anyone heard of that? They seem to offer dinner/acrobatic show and hutong tours, among other things. thanks again to anyone who has ideas here! |
