Jessie was reliable, friendly and helpful and great to be with. Not only did she show me around the interesting cool neighbourhoods of Beijing, Hutongs etc, but also got me around the Forbidden City. She was also great at helping me sort out hotels and other stuff. She also assisted by phone when I was in the taxi trying to sort out where I was going and the amount, I just called her. She even sorted me out with another guide when she couldn't do a particular day. So definite recommendation - and I am hard to please. And yes, she is very patient!
If you don't know the language, China can be a very daunting place for foreigners, even for experienced travellers. Beijing is huge and tough to get around, but much to enjoy. I was in China on business but had a few days in Beijing. Finding this website was one of the best things I ever did, and I highly recommend using it. Some of the group tours can be crowded and you spend as much time being dragged around the shops and sold to as seeing what you want to see.
An individual tour guide is cost effective, avoids you getting ripped off and it fits around you.
