Can you recommend a guide and car company for a tour of beijing and its highlights as well as the great wall. We (6 people) are coming in via cruise (Tiajin). Thanks, Sue

Hi Susan, yes, we are very glad to arrange it for you. When will you need it, please? How many days will you stay in China? Are there any kids or elderly people in your group?
