| Some friends and I want to go to Beijing for Lunar New Year. We'd like a tour package, but can't figure out what company to use. We figure a tour deal would save us the trouble of figuring out how to get to the touristy places. Does anyone have a travel agent they could recommend? If this Beijing trip falls through, Hong Kong is our backup plan. Please help! Thanks! |

If you want an ESCORTED TOUR with all that goes with it then any travel agent can sell you a package for Hanatour, Mode Tour or one of the other main stream packages.
They are all similarly priced and the features are virtually identical.
Your local home-plus / e-mart would be as good a place as any.
IF you want to do it on your own then a travel agent might make a difference (helping with hotels etc) but in my experience, not usually and not worth the grief you get when trying to deal with them.
Book your flight, look up a hotel on-line and call them directly to book your room.
I like the "Home-Inn" chain in Beijing for affordable, convenient hotel accommodation. The only place you really need anything other than a taxi to get to would be the Great Wall (your front desk can arrange seats on a day trip for you).
Everything else is handy in the city. Just get the desk to give you a card with their name and address so you can get home each day and they can write your destination on a piece of paper for the cabbie to get you where you want to go. Taxis are cheap.
IF you end up going to Hong Kong instead of Beijing, look at some of Cathay Pacific's air/hotel "discover HK" packages. Some of them are decently priced and the hotels have all the usual "DAY" packages available on a next-day basis.
