Thank you Herbie! :) - Cannot recommend this experience enough, far more than just a convenient way to kill time during a layover, it was a once in a lifetime experience that we'll never forget! Our tour guide, Herbie, was absolutely wonderful. Not only is he incredibly knowledgable but he's also so warm, friendly and funny. From educating us on the history of China, to offering great local recommendations, to taking so many photos of us - we're so so grateful to Herbie for making our experience truly unforgettable. Thank you Herbie, we'll always remember you! The organisation of the tour is also very efficient and professional, with all our emails answered within minutes. So glad we booked this tour as there's no way we would've been able to experience all the things we did if we'd tried to do it ourselves.

Great layover tour with Herbie - We had a really great layover tour with Herbie. We visited Great Wall (beautiful views) and hutongs. He took us to very good local food because we wanted to eat something before our flight and to some local shops.

The only right thing to do during the layover in Beijing - The whole tour was amazing - from the beginning to an end. Our tour guide Herbie is full of knowledge and he passed on all the important information to understand importance of the great wall even better. Pace of the tour was also great and the restaurant Herbie took us to eat was delicious. It was very convenient that Herbie and the driver (who was also very nice!) picked us up at the airport and at the end drove us back to it. We highly recommend the tour!

Best Layover Tour Ever with the best Tour Guide Herbie! - We couldn’t ask for a better layover in Beijing and can only recommend 100%. We visited the Mutianyu Great Wall & Old Hutongs and what an amazing Tour it was! This company has a perfect organisation and has very professional staff! from the first e-mail we wrote with Daniel, everything was very easy, fast and detailed, I was already very surprised with the service and when finally the day came for our Tour and we met our Guide Herbie things got even better. Herbie has a very big acknowledgment about his country China and all their history. He gave us a great history lesson about what we were seeing, he speeches perfectly English and is very kind and friendly, always taking care of their customers, making sure they are enjoying the tour and feeling good. As If this wasn't enough, he is an excellent photographer too! He took so many good pictures of us and helping with the best poses for the photo. We couldn’t recommend Herbie enough! We were absolutely amazed by his service and if we came back to Beijing in the future for sure we will book another Tour with him! If you are in Beijing on a Layover with time enough to exit de Airport, don’t hesitate to book a tour with Beijing Layover Tours, I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Stopover in Beijing. Visit Great Wall and Hutongs - We made a 12-hour stopover at Beijing airport, and our best decision was to take this tour. It has been an amazing experience, the great wall is amazing, it impacts much more live. And highlight our guide Herbie, has explained everything phenomenal, and makes beautiful photos. A 10 for Herbie. The transfer we have done in a super comfortable car. Everything has been perfect. Thank you so much!!!

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.
