Amazing experience! - Totally reccomend these tours! We had Lisa as our guide and she was great! She met us on time, helped us to find an ATM machine to withdraw cash at the airport, had Lee the driver pick us up in a comfortable mini van with air-conditioning, was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. It was a very hot day and she was happy to keep to our speed. The wall was very cool to see. Overall we had a great day and would totally reccomend these tours!

Great Beijing Layover Tour - We met our tour guide as planned, Yuan and had a wonderfully full day as we were champeroned and informed throughout the day. The Great Wall and The Forbidden City tour was everything we were told it would be and were free to explore as time permitted. Our van was comfortable and the driver Great and there was plenty of bottled water as required. We thoroughly enjoyed our layover on our way back to New Zealand and would highly recommend.

Awesome way how to spend your layover time in Beijing - We had like 15 hours layover in Beijing. Getting the transit visa was quite easy. We met our guide Lisa at the airport as agreed before and she had a minivan with a driver outside that took as to the Great Wall. It is relatively far so it was about 1 hour ride but it gives you nice chance to see surroundings of Beijing so it was totally alright. The wall is awesome and you can go down with a bob ride. Then we go to the Forbidden City. Awesome historical site. Lisa knows basically everything about the history, all the dynasties, buildings etc. So you get whatever info you are interested in. After that we asked for some nice lunch and Lisa took us to a very authentic Chinese restaurant where we had some really nice Chinese food. She also paid for us with the Ali Pay QR code and we then paid to her the equivalent of USD so we did not have to exchange cash at the airport. This was very nice and super convenient. Then we went back to the airport. Everything was super smooth and easy. If you have a long layover in Beijing you must do this.

Amazing layover tour experience with Herbie - My wife and I had a 13 hour layover in Beijing and booked this tour so we could do some sightseeing. We booked with Beijing tours and met our guide, Herbie (English name) as we left the terminal. Herbie was amazing from the beginning, explaining the extensive history of the city and each attraction in depth. He provided great insights, enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere and amazing photography skills. I would recommend this company and Herbie to anyone travelling through Beijing!

Fantastic Great Wall & Forbidden City Tour - We were short of time but Helen our guide arranged our visit to the Great Wall & Forbidden City beautifully. She kept an eye on the time constantly and our driver was amazing. A truly professional driver who got us through the traffic with ease. Helen told us so much about the chinese history as well as interesting information about the Wall & Forbidden City. I learned so much, it was great.
We got to the Wall early and were the only people on the accessible part of the wall which was lovely and unexpected. I thought it was going to be crowded with little space but it was the completely the opposite. Would definitely book again if we have another layover in Bejing. Thank you for a great day!

Worth it!! - We had a 10+ hours layover in Beijing and wanted to make some use of the time. Thank god I found Beijing Layover tours!
Our guide Herbie was the best! We went to the Chinese wall, where he took the most amazing pictures. Our request was to go to a restaurant to eat Peking duck where he took us and man.. the duck was amazing!!! After that we visited the Tiananmen Square. Overall I can totally recommend doing a tour and ask for Herbie ;-)
It’s great that after a long flight, you don’t have to worry about transportation, communication, planning, etc. as everything is well planned for you and tailor-made for your needs.
Thanks Beijing Layover tours for making our short stay so special!

Quickly stop in Beijing - I know about the tour in the airport during our stop to Australia, Daniel Yan explain me all the alternatives and was very clear with the options.
Lisa our guide was awesome, we had a very good time! She show us a lot of interesting information around our visit.
We arrived to the Great Wall very early so it was empty, that makes the experience very special.
The service was great, also our driver was so profesional. I recommend a lot the tour; they now a lot about the forbidden city. I will repit the next time.
