Dear Kristin,
Thanks for visiting our website and interested in our service. My name is Maggie Qin, one of the travel advisors at Top China Travel. I am happy to assist you planning your trip to Beijing.
Based on what I known for your trip requirements, I just worked out a 6 days Beijing tour based on arriving on Aug27 and depart on Sep01 by using 3 star hotel.
I only included the lunches in my proposal because I would like to give you more flexibility to choose the better food and try in China. China cuisine is very famous in the world, but normally the tourist meal would be arranged in the tourist restaurant. They make the food like assembly line, no characteristic. But their price is moderate. If you would like to try better food in some nice restaurants, I recommended you to pay US$32/per person as extra cost to have food in the local citizen’s restaurant. The taste of the food is better there, and the environment is also nicer than tourist restaurant. The most important thing is, you could advise our guide what kind of food do you like to have for this meal, he or she would help you to order your interested food, if there is anything over the budget, you just pay the extra on spot. I think it would give you deeper impression for the food in China if you have flexibility in choosing the food but not set menu.
A preliminary quotation with a suggested itinerary is attached to this email, please let me know if you have other interests you'd like to include, or if I have missed any of your stated requirements; I would welcome the opportunity to ensure that your itinerary is exactly what you want.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Shoujd you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
Best Regards
Maggie Qin
