We had booked a private 2 day Beijing tour for 4 people with Chinaprivatetours. The booking process was very easy and email responses were very prompt. We had also booked a day trip in Hangzhou for 2 people through the same agency and really enjoyed that trip also with guide David.
We were met with our guide Mark at our hotel in Beijing.Through some mix up he only has a small car provided good for 2 people. Fortunately our hotel was within walking distance to Forbidden City etc. so Mark immediately made arrangements to walk to the Forbidden city and get picked up from there by a larger vehicle and as promised, the vehicle was waiting for us when we walked out from the other end of forbidden city. We did the Temple of Heaven and Summer palace that day and dis the Mutianyu great wall the next day - we wanted to spend as much time as possible at the wall and Mark made sure we started early and got back in time for our evening food tour excursion.
Although the weather was foggy both days and it rained while we were touring summer palace, Mark was one of the most friendly and cheerful guides we had met ! He is extremely personable, very easy to work with, fluent in English and very knowledgeable and makes sure the customer's requests are fully met.
We really enjoyed the two day private tour with Mark and highly recommend anyone thinking about private Beijing tour to consider Chinaprivatetour and ask for Mark!
