BEIJING, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- In a time when people are trimming their budgets, The China Guide ( http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ) is offering their quality guides, service, meals and sightseeing with an option to use a taxi rather than a private car. In the aftermath of the Olympics, all of Beijing's taxis are new, clean and plentiful. The savings can be then put towards more useful purposes, such as a nice budget hotel, which is also something The China Guide can arrange for you.
"We are always looking for ways to give guests a great experience at a reasonable price. By using taxis to get around the city you trim a substantial price off the tour. Since taxis are widespread in Beijing, the inconvenience is minimal. Additionally, our guides can teach you how to use Beijing taxis so you can be more independent in the future," says The China Guide's Managing Director, American Peter Danford.
"Our guides are highly trained in western standard service by me personally," adds Danford; "All guides have excellent English skills and they travel at your pace, no rushing. They act as your travel companion."
There are several Beijing Taxi Tour options available and The China Guide team can also customize any itinerary to fit your preferences. Most popular are the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace with a short boat ride. Optional extras include Peking Duck dinner and night shows such as the Chaoyang Acrobats, the Kungfu Show or the Peking Opera. Hutong tours, the Temple of Heaven, local shopping and the Olympic venues are also possible.
The China Guide tours avoid the all-too-common factory shopping stops where tourists are expected to buy overpriced souvenirs, leaving more time to enjoy the sights. This is also true for The China Guide's restaurant selections which are local, quality dining spots; tourist restaurants are left to the tourists. Tours with very low pricing will inevitably include hidden shopping stops, guides with poor English and extra costs discovered as you go.
So in a time of penny pinching, The China Guide has a way for you to gain without pain.
