VERY disappointed with this tour! Our tour guide Rocky, if you could call him that, was more interested in what was going on on his cell phone than with interacting with his guests - completely disengaged! He did occasionally check back in when asked a specific question. But, otherwise there was minimal interaction - mostly just walking and looking at the small shops in the hutong we were taken to, briefly visiting only two bars/nightclub establishments. A near complete waste of time and money!

By far one of the best excursions we took in China. Go with a local to local and out of the way places. Our guide was GREAT! Thumbs up for Beijing Nightlife tour.
