Amazing layover tour with Alice - We went to a layover tour visiting the Tiananmen square and the forbidden city and it was really worth it, the sights are beautiful and its a good use of your time instead of waiting at the airport. Our tourguide Alice was really knowledgeable and professional. She shared a lot of interesting facts about the history of all the sights and China.

Great tour for a short stopover! - Had an enjoyable and informative tour around Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square with Alice as my personal guide. Alice was an excellent host and was very knowledgeable on the history of the areas we visited. Great communication by Daniel in taking my booking and even organised my return transfer back to the airport. Thoroughly recommended!

Wonder Herbie - We took this tour during a long layover in Beijing, Herbie our guide was very good and super efficient, from when he picked us up at the airport and throughout the entire tour where he explained to us in detail and competently the different aspects of the forbidden city. I highly recommend this tour if you have a long layover in Beijing.

Amazing!!! - It was such a fine and beautiful experience. I didn’t know what to expect but this definitely over exceeded my expectations! My tour guide Herbie was extremely kind and thought me a lot of things about Beijing, which I would have never known if it wasn’t for him. He also helped me with any problems or wishes that I had during the tour, which was extremely kind of him! I definitely want to book this again if I ever have a layover in Beijing!! I will for sure not forget about this, as this was just amazing!

Great experience, good vibes - Great experience! Well prepared but not “heavy” with transmitting it at the same time. On time, good language skills- only superlatives. 100% recommended. Thank you!

Great Tour With Herby - Very happy we found this tour. Our plane landed in the afternoon, and we were having a hard time finding a forbidden city afternoon tour. I'm so glad we found this one. Our tour guide Herby spoke great English, was conversational and made over 1000 years of history very entertaining. He also took a lot great pictures and shared some good suggestions. If you can, request Herby, do it.
