Beijing private guide/driver

Mutianyu

I%26#39;ve paid 400 RMB in the end of 2006. Audi A6, pick-up from Tang Yue Hotel (east of Forbidden City), round-trip to Mutianyu Great Wall, stop for lunch appointment at Gui Jie, visit Yonghegong Lamasery and then sent to the airport.

400rmb?Audi A6?is that true?That is really a good price,even the taxi driver will charge 500rmb .Today the gas%26#39;s price rising again,i don%26#39;t think you can get 400or even 500any more

Yes, definitely true. Well note that it was more than a year ago, and it was through a friend, so personal connections might%26#39;ve made a difference here.

I agree chineseqing,no driver wants to go at that price to Mutianyu Section,even taxi driver.not only gas%26#39;s price up,everything goes up in China now.

but for a fried price,you can`t say anything.

400 ? Why not tell us the driver%26#39;s mobile number or email ?

It was a one-off deal through a friend and I don%26#39;t think it would be an option for other travellers, and neither do I have any contact number for the driver since it was already so long ago!

We used John to go to Mutianyu, his email is johnyellowcar@hotmail.com and his website is www.beijing-driver.com . He took us to the wall, to lunch, and to the Summer Palace for 800 RMB. He is a great and very careful driver, his car is very clean and nice, and he is just absolutely a delightful person and speaks English very well. I highly recommend him, and he is recommended by many others on this forum. Have fun in Beijing!
