Chinese Language (Mandarin) tour operator in the States?
 
I'm looking for a Mandarin tour operator in the US (or any tour operator that provides tours in Mandarin). I have a couple colleagues coming in from the Beijing branch of my company this summer and am looking for an operator I can set up all my tours with (they want to hit the big cities of NYC, DC, and LA, but I also want them to visit Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston). I won't be able to accompany them on the entire trip, and my Mandarin skills aren't good enough to give a tour (nor have I been to LA or SF), so I'm looking for an operator that would be able to provide private, Mandarin-language tours to my colleagues. Native speakers would be preferred.

Thanks!

I would google and contact travel agents in chinatowns in NY or SF. Hopefully - in addition to group tours - they may have contacts for private tours,

Here's a list of Mandarin guides in NYC. http://www.ganyc.org/search_results2.asp. On another travel forum, someone used Nils Cho and wS very satisfied. Perhaps one of these would be willing to travel or has colleagues in other cities.
