When we were in Beijing in Sep 07, we used Catherine Lu who I can highly recommend. She was our guide for a full day and also met us at the airport and provided transport to our hotel. Contact catherine at catherineunderscore1130athotmaildotcom for quotes

I have to agree with Cheesi. I used Catherine on the weekend of 21-22 June and was totally impressed. She is a registered tour guide, so only had to pay her way into the Forbidden City. She is highly knowledable of all the sites we visited. It was a whirl-wind 2 days of the Great Wall at Mutinyu, Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. Also managed to squeeze in a nice slow drive by of the new Olympic "birds nest" and a quick run around the silk market. We had lunch on both days at extremely reasonable places and Catherine even joined me for Dinner on Saturday evening...(being a solo female traveller dining out in the evenings is always the difficult bit) Peking Duck (don't know where!) in a family style restaurant, with a beer, softdrink, vegetable dish (for 2 we only got 1/2 duck). It was fantastic! I think I only paid about 60 or 70 RMB!!!! She was sweet, honest and it was a pleasure to have her in my company.
