Wonderful experience - I had such a great time ! I had a 13h stop in Pekin so I wanted to see the most famous monuments of the city and I choose this tour. I do not regret it ! My driver was on time to pick me up at the airport and bring me to my guide Maggie. She was such a wonderful guide and I learnt many things. Also it was snowing all day so we were almost alone on the great wall, so special! I highly recommend this tour and Maggie as a guide.

Wonderful experience - Perfect ! I had a 13h wait in Pekin so I wanted to see most of the city in this time. My driver was waiting for me on time as the airport and we went to meet my guide Maggie. I had such a wonderful time with Maggie who is a great guide. It was also snowing for the day so we were almost alone on the great wall ! Such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and Maggie as a guide.

The best tour out there - I got picked up by my driver Garry at the airport and Maggie, my tour guide joined right after. Garry was a great driver driving through heavy traffic of Beijing. Very safe and comfortable car. Super clean. Maggie was full of information, both very friendly and welcoming willing to help and provide the best service possible. Maggie and Garry you are rock stars. Strongly recommended.

One day in Beijing - We had a one-day stopover in Beijing. We took the opportunity to go on a tour with Lily's Beijing Tour . We visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. It was a great day with our guide Jeffrey, who gave us lots of information. We also had the opportunity to eat typical Chinese food and have a tea tasting.
We'd recommend it 100%.

Easy Airport Tour! - We had a great day! I was interested in this kind of tour as we had a 13 hour layover and knew this would be the easiest way to see the most! Linda's driver met us inside the airport and took us to meet Linda. She was great!! The most convenient door to door tour! Highly recommend if you are looking for a day trip from the airport.

Beijing day tour - The tour was amazing! Linda Su was so helpful and knowledgeable! From the time we were picked up until the end it was great! The driver Xie was also very nice and greeted us in the airport. We were surprised at how cold it was, however Linda Su provided us with jackets! Definitely would recommend taking a day trip with them:)

Great day. Lots of photos and memories. - I tagged on a couple of days to a business trip and flew over to Beijing from Hong Kong. I booked this trip for the Sunday, as I had the whole day free. The main attraction I wanted to visit was the Great Wall, so this trip ticked all the boxes. I had Jeffery as my tour guide and he was great. I was picked up from my hotel, and didn’t have the worry of language/ trying to find transport or not knowing where to go. We went to the square first and then the forbidden city which was great. Afterwards we stopped off for lunch- and ate traditional Chinese food and tea. We then made our way to the Great Wall. It was great to have the time to look around, get lots of photos and soak up the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend - easy to get from place to place, Jeffery had great knowledge on the places and was really friendly. An all round great day. Thanks :)

A Wonderful Tour - Thank you to our tour guide Jerry and our driver Mr. Xie for showing us such a wonderful time during our short layover in Beijing! They were all one could hope for: prompt, considerate, and kind. Jerry was very informative and gave us a solid background and history on all the sights we saw. He was patient with our questions and also made us laugh! We appreciate how accommodating he and Xie were with the schedule and our needs. We have already recommended them to our some of our friends. Thank you again Jerry and Xie. We hope to be back in Beijing again sometime.

Best Layover Ever - Great way to spend a layover in Beijing. We had no issues doing the 144 hour visa-free transit as Americans (other than the airport check-in at home taking a few minutes longer than usual). There was a counter right after getting off the plane to show your onward ticket before going through customs. You need to be coming from an approved country and going to a different country. The tickets don't have to be from the same airline.
Everything was already paid for in advance and someone picked us up at our hotel at 7 am before driving to Tienanmen square which took about an hour during rush hour. We walked along Tienanmen square and through part of the Forbidden City with our tour guide, Lisa, before being picked up at the other end and driving to the Great Wall. We stayed there for a couple hours before doing the toboggan down (unfortunately stuck behind someone doing about 1 km/h) and driving back to the airport hotel.
Overall, Lisa is an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide and I don't see how you could pack much more in to a one day layover. If you have the choice, I'd do it in the winter over the summer. Everything seemed much less busy and the dryness made it feel actually not that cold.
