My wife and I arrive in Beijing a year from now; it seems so far away, but juggling schedules and the need for early air reservations leaves us planning well ahead.

Our portion of the 2011 WC will conclude in Beijing. We won't have an abundance of time, but we would like to spend 4-6 days to get a little glimpse; neither of us has ever been to China before.

An organized tour seems most practical; we would consider a Regent offering, but they may not finalize tours far enough in advance(?) for our needs. Above all, we would want a quality, high-end tour, with meals, accommodations, and travel consistent with Regent quality.

Having looked online, we of course find an abundance of options; but it is so difficult to devine quality. Has anyone had any experience with a short tour of this kind? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
