Top Beijing Layover Tours - page 9

We had the pleasure of visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall (Mutianyu) with Lucy, a truly exceptional tour guide. From the very first moment, she proved to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and local traditions made each stop on the tour interesting and engaging, never boring. She managed to convey curiosities and details that we would have otherwise had difficulty discovering on our own. Furthermore, she was always available, friendly, and attentive to the group's needs, adapting the pace of the tour perfectly. Thanks to her, we had an authentic experience that was much richer than a simple tourist visit. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to truly discover the place we were visiting!

Booking is straightforward and the operator is very quick to respond to our enquiry. We received a confirmation message vua Whatsapp a day or two before thr trip. Alvin was our driver and he was super friendly, courtesy and punctual. The car was clean and well presented and he made the entire trip so much more enjoyable

Tony was an absolute excellent tour guide. He was a polite, engaging and knowledgeable guide. My husband and I are different in our activity level and things we enjoy and Tony was able to work with us both by slowing down for him while I did my photography. He also was very knowledgeable about the perfect views for the camera. We enjoyed our tour and would recommend him and the tour to anyone looking for a tour of the great wall.

The Mutianyu Great Wall is definitely a must visit early in the morning during winter when crowds are absent! As the saying goes, he who have never been to the Great Wall is never a hero! Breathtaking views amidst history, you’re transported in time among the stone and bricks! My guide Jimmy was exceptionally knowledgeable in history and gave me a very good rendition of the creation and the existence of the structures through the thousands of years in time. Truly remarkable to be able to experience this with someone as informed as Jimmy is!

Yue set everything up for me at the Great Wall and the Summer palace. He had water, snacks and a warm vest for me to wear because it was COLD. He made a detour so I could see some Olympic venues and worked with my schedule when I had flight delays. Excellent experience.

Our guide, Bowen, picked us up at the airport by car. We went to the Forbidden City, had Peking duck, went to the Temple of Heaven, and then had some time for a stroll through the Qianmen district (it was January, so no point in visiting the Summer Palace). airport pick-up 8:30 am, back at airport around 6pm. Tickets were reserved and Bowen came with us to do the guided tour. He speaks excellent english and knew a lot if interesting things. We enjoyed this day immensely, thank you very much!

If you want to explore an uncrowded section of the Wall, this tour is for you. The pick-up was on time and the time they give you to explore the Wall is more than enough. On the day I booked, only 3 other passengers were going so it was quite comfortable. Our driver had very limited English (like mine hahaha) but it was not difficult to communicate with him. 100% recommended

Brilliant way to spend a layover in Beijing. We were picked up by lilly from the airport and even though we had a 6 hour delay with our flights changing the timings wasn't a problem. It reduced the time we were able to spend at the wall but we still managed to see and do everything we wanted to do. We were picked up in a lovely air con car and driven straight there. Takes about a hour. Even though the driver spoke little English. Using Google translate helped with communication. All our tickets for the wall were bought for in advance and sent to us so we easily passed through the gates with a qr code. I recommended this trip if you have a layover of 7 hours+. We were dropped off back at our hotel of choice near the airport. All very easy to navigate. 100% do this trip, we loved it.
