Hi

We wanted a driver not a guide and we chose John. We went to Birds Nest, Great Wall at Mutianyu, Temple of Heaven and Silk Market (all of our choosing). John collected us at the Regent on time, and he has a comfortable car for the journey. Chatted on the way there, very friendly but then saw we were napping on the way back to Beijing so kep quiet till we got there!

We paid 1000 RMB for the day, well woth it to us for the comfort and convenience

We got the impression that taxi could be a bit hit and miss, plus the drivers don't speak much (if any) English

Thanks Andy 123

Where did you find John

I actually know of a guy, but he doesn't speak English.

Hi

John's e-mail address is johnyellowcar@hotmail.com. He was very helpful when we arranged things with him, speaks good English.

We hired John on our recent trip to Beijing. He took us to Jinshanling and dropped us off while we hiked the wall. He picked us up at Simatai. It was quite a trip and we would highly recommend him. He was prompt, and answered any questions we had. He took us to a little shop to buy some snacks to take with us before we arrived at the wall, and then also took us to a little restaurant to eat lunch afterwards. The whole trip took about 10 hours and he charged us 1000 rmb. He was worth every penny, and if we were ever to return to Beijing, we would almost certainly hire him again.
