I think I feel uncomfortable to have personal tour guide. Does it become awkward?

Loved the TR @bigpetebrown
China is still on my bucket list. Hong Kong doesn't count. Soon I hope.
If not too personal, how did you and Al find travelling in China as couple? Any problems? The reason I ask, a good friend and his partner are looking to go next year, but my friend has heard stories of problems for same sex couples outside of Beijing/Shanghai.
Not personal at all Boca.
We had zero problems. I asked the Tour Beijing consultant to book a double in all hotels but that if there were any issues we'd sleep in twin beds. Our guides were both asked at every hotel if one bed was correct and once confirmed the room key was handed over. Who knows what chuckling went on behind the scenes. We spoke at quite some length to our second guide Sophia, a Chengdu native, about all things LGBTI. In fact she initiated the conversation while we were walking in the mountains. I don't have a very good lesbian gaydar. Sophia could well be and that would explain some of what she talked about.
I reckon us being western was more interesting than us being gay
In what way flying man? We hate large group travel. Neither of could think of anything worse than piling on to a tour bus with twenty plus people every day and having no control of what we do. We've done three Intrepid Tours now and that's as group as we'd go.I think I feel uncomfortable to have personal tour guide. Does it become awkward?
