Please locate the best three Mandarin-speaking day sight-seeing tour guides or tour companies in Manhattan/New York City for a group of 18-25 Chinese visitors from mainland China. I want to know 1) website, email, phone contact information 2) reviews (particularly from Chinese visitors) and corporate references 3) itineraries for a day of sight seeing 4) base cost for 1 guide and option for 2 guides on the tour with shuttle bus included. Preferably, these would be companies/guides used to dealing with corporate customers, not simply day tourists---and--specifically---there should be no shopping stops or stores as part of the itineraries or planned days since such events usually indicate operations which are trying to overcharge the tourists/guests---not a way to treat my corporate guests.
