Best Beijing tour! Get Herbie!!! - We loved every minute of this tour. I have been to China 3 times but this was the first time with my 82 year old mother and 2 kids aged 10 and 12. Our Guide, Herbie, was amazing! Articulate, charismatic, informative. Gave us a ton of history. Also gave great photo opportunities. This is a must do tour! Private and personalized!

Amazing layover experience 🥰 - This was the most incredible way to spend my 12 hour layover in Beijing. I had Lisa as my guide and she’s fantastic. She had so much knowledge about the history and is such a sweet lady, I hope I get to meet her again!
Getting to walk the Great Wall (and toboggan down!) was surreal, then driving around Tiananmen Square and walking through Old Hutong for dumplings and duck pancakes was a treat as well. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day. The car was also very comfortable, and the driver Siu was so nice and navigated Beijing’s crazy traffic with ease.
Thank you so much for making my first visit to China so special!!

Memorable experience! - We recently took the Great Wall of China and Old Hutong at Layover Tour and it was fantastic. Thanks to our tour guide Herbie.
Herbie's warm and friendly nature made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the Great Wall and Chinese history added great value, bringing the ancient site to life with enganging stories and insights.
He handled all logistics smoothly, from transportation with his driver.
Herbie's guidance at Mutianyu was invaluable, helping us find the best routes and photo spots.

Truly memorable time. - Met up with our tour guide, Herbie at the airport without any problems. Straight away Herbie was happy, smiling and cheerful. Arrived at Great Wall having had a detailed history on the way fom Herbie. Awesome experience to walk on the Great Wall and have Herbie with his knowledge alongside.
Spot of authentic lunch and then on to the Hutongs of Bejing. Great to be in amongst everyday Chinese people and to experience the buzz of the city. Lastly drove around the famous Tiannamin Square or Peace Square as they call it. Very tiring but well worth the trip. Herbie was an excellent host and guide.

It is definitely worth seeing the great wall! Quite impressing and beautiful! Herbie had loads of facts and you are lucky with his photograph skills :D!

I had a lot of fun! Would definitely do it again!

Great Wall and Hutongs tour - The trip was wonderful and I would highly recommend it if you are ever in Beijing. Firstly we met Lisa at the airport and she helped us exchange some money. The journey to the Great Wall was quicker than expected. The experience on the wall was great, especially that we had some time to explore it on our own. The Hutongs tour was also great, Lisa showed us great places to eat locally (especially Peking duck). I highly recommend the tour, especially if you don't have much time in the city. There were a few situations where without a Chinese-speaking guide we would have lost a lot of time or not even arrived at the desired destinations.

Well organised, very nice guide - The company was really helpful with the planning, and also giving tips for the permit. The tour was very well organised, and we had a very nice tour guide in Herbie. He was not just helpful, but also a good company and very informative about the Wall and China itself, from ancient history to present. The walls as good as it gets, and some parts we had it only for ourselves. Herbie also showed us a local restaurant where we had a delicious dinner.
We could not have wished for a better closing to our holiday.

Great way to see Beijing highlights on a layover - We had a great layover tour with Lisa!
There are a lot of companies offering similar services but after much research we decided to go with this company. We are really glad that we did. The company was very professional and Daniel was fantastic. Any question we had for Daniel was responded to properly by email (within minutes!). We also were given clear instructions about how to get the 24 hour visa which was useful.
The tour itself is excellent, we are so glad we did it! It was great going on a private tour as it meant we could dictate the time and activities. Lisa was great at providing historical information and was also very kind. We absolutely loved the Great Wall (how could you not? Mesmerising) and the toboggan down the mountain was great. I also made use of their complimentary winter jacket which was great, I was very warm.
Unexpectedly we also really enjoyed exploring Hutong after. We were very keen to try some street food before our flight and Lisa made this happen! Lisa was great at explaining the food and taking us to great noodles and dumplings. Delicious! The area is lively and it was fun seeing the nightlife.
We would have loved to have time for the Forbidden City - next time!

Book your layover tour! Great experience - The layover tour was great - we had an amazing time and really made the most out of the layover!
Our tour guide Herbie was great - definitely ask for him if you have the chance to. He speaks very good English, is very knowledgeable and easygoing with a great sense of humor. The driver Mrs Chen was kind and the car super clean.
We can highly recommend it!
