Hi, coming from Hong kong you would know how hot it would get in July/Aug. You could easily arrange for lodgings and English speaking tours in Beijing through online services. For tours and service apartments in Beijing:

Hi Oceanview - with the Dragon Air tours, did the tour guide take you to a lot of "shopping" tours like visits to jade factories or medical pharmacies? I hear most tours in Beijing do "detours" to these places and it takes quite a it of time. I am not too keen on the shopping side as will be bringing my elderly parents and kids.

I will recommend that you book the free & easy airline package ( flight and hotel at the 3rd ring) so that you can walk at your own pace.
Tiannamen Square, Forbidden City, Behai park are easily reached by taxi.
You can either charter a taxi or use the hotel travel desk for the Summer Palace/Great Wall which is quite far from the city.
