AMART Points: Join Date: Apr 14, 2005 Status: offline	I am going to Beijing, Xian and Shanghai in mid August. I would like to know if it is easy to book day tours from the hotels/local tour shops - or am I better off pre-booking tours though my travel agent before I leave. I have been through SE Asia and have always booked my tours once I get there. I have always found it easy and cheaper - is it the same in China? Also, I prefer private tours (i.e. a private car with english guide) rather than a tour bus, do they have these in China? If so what would be the approximate price, I am used to say $AU80 per day.
