Fantastic Layover Tour! - We had a long layover in Beijing, so we wanted to see a bit of the city in between flights. Our guide, Shane, was waiting for us when we got out of customs and immigration, and before long we were in the car and on the way to the city. The tour is primarily a walking tour, which was great after a long flight from the US. Shane took us to and through many of the city's best attractions, and it was fun to see them at night! Shane is a fantastic guide- very personable, a great driver, and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a really fun evening that we'll remember for a long time.

Well organised and professional stopover tour - Ours was an evening tour of Tianamen Square, street food market and the Olympic site. The instructions on how to get the temporary visa and meet the guide were accurate and easy to follow. Our guide (Ja) was waiting as arranged and made us immediately welcome. She made a call, the driver swept up in a very comfortable car and we were off! Throughout Ja was informative, charming and flexible in response to our requests. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Ja took some excellent pictures for us. We would thoroughly recommend the service offered and it is an excellent way of filling an extended layover. We've booked for the Great Wall tour on the way back!

City Night tour. Tiananmen Square, wangfujing snack street and Houhai night bar street - This was an excellent tour considering it was at night. My English speaking tour guide was friendly and accommodating. He met me upon arrival and we went straight into town. I enjoyed the Wangfujing snack street area and Houhair night bar street. I would have like to experience more of Tiananmen Square and explore the forbidden city but it was after hours. Overall it was a great trip

Evening tour of Beijing - Shane was our tour guide and he was excellent. Very good English and informative tour. It was extremely cold and that meant it was uncomfortable to hang around anywhere too long. We went to Tiananmen Square which unfortunately is closed overnight. Birds nest stadium was very impressive. We did enjoy the tour but the cold temperature made it uncomfortable. Shane was excellent and I hope we have him for our return tour to the Great Wall.

Night Tour of Beijing - It had been 14 years since I was last in Beijing so this was an excellent tour to use up part of my 10 hour layover and see some of the sights. I was keen to visit the Olympic Park and was not disappointed. I had the best duck pancake at the markets and enjoyed revisiting Tienanmen Square again. Traffic was very busy so did spend a lot of time in the car but the driver was great and you just have to expect this in busy Beijing. Everything ran to schedule and I was back at the airport in plenty of time. Thanks again - hopefully I can coordinate my layover to get out to the Great Wall next time.

Little overrated sadly:( - I remember reading reviews of this layover tour and getting myself excited. The process for the visa was easy and smooth but our tour guide didn't even speak basic English so we didn't get to learn much during the tour cause we couldn't communicate, and the drive from the airport took two ours (out and back in) of our four hour trip which was never mentioned...this experience won't stop me from visiting Beijing in the future but honestly I wouldn't recommend doing a layover tour unless you can fully enjoy the tour. Four hours was not enough time to actually experience Beijing.
