• Beijing - This tour provides two adaptable packages to suit your preferences: a transfer-only service and a guided service with a knowledgeable local guide. The itinerary is entirely customizable: select one Great Wall section from three renowned options—Badaling, Juyongguan, or Mutianyu, along with one downtown Beijing attraction of your choice, such as the Temple of Heaven or the Summer Palace. Please be aware that Forbidden City tickets require advance booking—we highly recommend booking your tour at least 7 days before your visit if you wish to include the Forbidden City in your itinerary. Tickets tend to sell out quickly during peak travel seasons, so early reservation is essential to secure your entry.
• Mutianyu Great Wall - Depending on your flight schedule, your private layover tour begins with a pickup at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) or Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX). Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle and relax on the way to your selected Great Wall section. From PEK: Approximately 1.5 hours to Badaling, Mutianyu, or Juyongguan Great Wall. From PKX: Approximately 2.5 hours to Badaling, Mutianyu, or Juyongguan Great Wall. Upon arrival at the Great Wall, your driver or guide (if you chose the guided package) will assist with ticket arrangements. Transfer-only package: Explore the Great Wall at your leisure. Guide+transfer package: Follow your local guide to discover the Great Wall’s rich history and hidden stories. After the guided tour segment, you’ll have free time to explore independently. Your driver or guide will inform you of the return meeting time, carefully coordinated with your connecting flight schedule.
• Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) - After exploring the Great Wall, we’ll proceed downtown to the city. You have a variety of downtown highlights to choose from: Summer Palace: Open daily year-round, ideal for a leisurely walk through imperial gardens and lakeside pavilions. Forbidden City & Temple of Heaven: Closed every Monday. Note that Forbidden City tickets require advance booking at least 7 days before your visit. They sell out very quickly during peak seasons, so early reservation is crucial. Note: most downtown attractions close around 5:00 PM. If your flight lands in Beijing at noon, these daytime spots may no longer be accessible. We offer alternative options tailored for late arrivals: Jingshan Park: Climb to the top for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Tian’anmen Square & Qianmen Area to sample authentic Beijing street food, or browse local markets. The rest of your itinerary can be fully customized—simply discuss your preferences with your driver or guide for a personalized experience.
