We decide to visit Beijing on a multi country trip and took advantage of China's 72 hour Visa Free system (Way too short, though they are starting to implement cities with the 144 hour rule but not in Beijing yet). Due to the short time, we decided to have a private guided tour of the city. Well, we weren't disappointed with Louis as our guide. First, the hotel we stayed at (Double Tree Beijing) is not very conveniently located for the attractions as it turns out for private tours. I live in SF, CA and lived in NYC for 25 years and have not seen the traffic like Beijing. Louis arrived on time every day of the tour as well as the day he took us to the airport. He is friendly and knowledgeable and NEVER mentioned anything about tipping like you see in other reviews of tour guides. (I tipped him over 15% and he tried to give me some back). We went to Summer Place, T-square, Forbidden City, Lama Temple, Hu Tongs (Old Beijing), Great Wall at MuTianYu and I asked him to get us ticks to the Acrobats show and he delivered. We had lunch with him (this was not included in the tour as well as entrance fees) at some traditional restaurants. When he dropped us off at the theater for the Acrobats show, he offered to wait for us til the show was over. We refused the offer and sent him home to his wife (We wanted him in good shape for us the next day instead of black and blue from beatings :), although turned out to be a bad decision for us as Taxis in Beijing seems to be really busy and we waited for like 30 minutes for one, no internet for Uber or Didi). Then he took us to the airport on the third day. Heck, he didn't even ask for a deposit on our tour or got paid by each day. I paid him on the way to the airport. I do have some advice for you Louis as I know you will be reading this review, get paid day by day or one day you will get burned.
