[quote=COLONELTED,413228]I employed Ms. Susan Liu and I was very satisfied with her service. You can see more about her, including my review, on her website: http://susanliuyun.shutterfly.com/ But, a couple of points: First - a private guide is not, strictly, necessary in Beijing. A good guide book and a bit of help from the hotel concierge work for many people. I do not employ a guide when I go to Shanghai but I did in Beijing which I, personally, find a bit more difficult to 'manage.' Second - there is a lot to see in Beijing that "off the beaten track." For example, I made yet another visit to Soong Qing-ling's mansion, a must for anyone interested in modern Chinese history, and a first to Quandixia village which was a delightful excursion. A good, local guide (real Beijinger - not someone from the provinces) can be invaluable in matching one's interests with what is available. Susan did that for me on several occasions. Hope that helps. [/quote]
