Beijing's Sketchy Tours: Seriously, DON'T DO IT!!!!

[Joseph Thompson]

Oh, I wasn't recommending; I was just asking.

You could also call this a 'how to avoid scams while trying to save a bit of money' post.

[Ms. Wanda Kilback]

For independent travel in Beijing: if you're unsure about anything, just ask. Definitely say no to group tours, especially those that make you sign a contract upon arrival.

[Lorena Runolfsson]

Went there during the May Day holiday. Independent travel was nearly impossible. It has its pros and cons.

[Kelvin Shanahan DVM]

So useful!

[Misty Dare]

Thanks, sis!

[Daisy Hermiston]

Never sign up for group tours, no matter where you go. You'll always get ripped off. I got scammed on a group tour in Sichuan as well.

[Linda Dietrich]

Can you recommend one?

[Mr. Jody Bednar]

Sis, could you share the recommendation with me?

[Jo Douglas]

There's an endless supply of gullible people to be scammed, like leeks that keep growing back. It's useless trying to warn them!
