      Great tour!
      We had a great tour with Tony. We met in the airport right on time and managed to reach the Great wall early in the morning to be able to see it without people. Thanks a lot and we can only recommend him!

      Enriching experience (payment issue aside)
      Trip was a gift, which required a final payment on the day. Sadly I didn’t know about this and this had a negative effect on the trip with constant reminders throughout the day. (This was sorted by an easy transfer). Then constant discussions on the tip. (Despite the USd250 one day tour fee!). Tour guide Jackson was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and easy to get along with. Driver Wang was very professional and courteous.

      A Memorable Experience
      Jenny is an awesome guide! She made me feel very welcome and went out of her way to make sure I had a special experience. We spotted a group of hockey players playing on a frozen reservoir below the Great Wall. I had my hockey gear and was able to join in. What an experience!

      FANTASTIC!
      First, I want to give credit to William, our guide. He was a wonderful guide. We learned so much from him and he was overly kind and helpful to us. We enjoyed our time along the wall so very much. It was a great experience. We were all hungry by the end and he brought us to a great place to get dumplings, which were delicious. We made it to the airport with enough time to check-in and relax before our flight. The airport can be hectic and confusing to newcomers, so he took the time to make sure we ended up in the right place to check-in, which was above and beyond what we expected. If you have a day to spend in Beijing, you will not regret booking a tour with this group. In fact, we would do it again!

      Great tour with full scope service!
      Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough! The guide is very professional and takes care of every single detail. The additional warm clothing provided was much needed! His friendliness and complete historical background information (in highly skilled English) made this a very pleasant experience. If you happen to have a longer layover in Beijing (8+ hrs), don’t hesitate to make this trip. It was a great experience. Thanks, Willy!

      Very efficient layover tour
      I did this layover tour with my husband and we actually tried to do it earlier in the year but due to a flight delay had to initially cancel- they fully refunded our tour that time which was very seamless and helpful. When we finally got to do the tour Nov 2019 we had a great time. Our tour guide, Alice Ji, was excellent. She was easy to find at the airport, spoke impeccable English, and was accompanied by a very efficient, but safe, and warm driver. We saw both the Great Wall and Forbidden City on our tour which was awesome. We were able to fit everything in in a relatively short about of time but never felt rushed. Highlight of the trip was tobogganing down the Great Wall which was super fun. Alice was also really great about taking photos for us at all of the most scenic parts. Would highly recommend this tour, and especially Alice if you are so lucky to get her!

      Great tour in just 6 hours as part of the layover in Beijing Airport
      During our 8 hours layover in Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) we had a great short tour to Mutianju Great Wall. Just a short and very interesting 90 minutes drive from and to the airport. Very nice English speaking staff. My contact person Adela took great care of me up-front by email and answered all my questions. I transferred a pre-payment by Paypal and paid the rest in Euros including the lift up to the wall. Next time we will visit Beijing city center with Layover Tour Beijing.

      Amazing Great Wall visit With Will
      Loved our short trip to Great Wall of China guided by William. It was a very pleasing experience and very smooth. Will picked us up at Starbucks and gave us water and snacks and beer and took us to Great Wall. He guided us via cable car and back via slide called Tobogan. He also took lot of pictures of us and with us. We enjoyed every moment of it. I would definitely recommend each of my friends to hire this tour guide.

      Great Wall Layover Tour
      We had an 8 hour layover in Beijing & decided to book this trip last minute the night before. Willy was super accommodating and was able to provide us with all of the information we needed quickly. Our initial flight into Beijing was also delayed, but Willy still planned everything out perfectly so we still had ample time to do the tour and be back at the airport. Water bottles and snacks were provided in the car, so this was super nice! In addition, Willy is so awesome! He's a great English speaking guide and overall just an interesting and knowledgeable person. He was able to answer all of our questions and I feel like I learned a lot about Chinese history and culture. It was also freezing in Beijing, but thankfully Willy had jackets for us to wear! He's also a great photographer and took lots of photos for us. He even made a short video with all of our pictures. This tour was definitely worth it!! Not only were we able to sneak in one more amazing site before heading home, but we also learned a lot too!

      Amazong trip to the great Wall during my layover at Beijing!
      I had almost a 15h layover at Beijing so I was looking for something nice to do with my time. The guys at "Layover Tours Beijing" were quite reactive to answer back given that I asked them with really short notice (like the day before) if they were available to organize something. They provided me with an English speaking guide, William. I actually landed at the new Daxing airport, and my connection flight later that day was at the old capital airport. William was kind enough to come pick me up directly at the Daxing airport and later dropped me off at the old one. He drove me to Mutianyu to see the great Wall, got some really great pictures! The guide was really cool and we had some interesting conversations during the drive to get there (about 1h45m). Fully recommend this experience if you have a long layover at Beijing!

      Solo Traveller in Beijing
      I am a solo traveler female and had a long layover in Beijing and I hired this company for a tour at the Great Wall. Jonny picked me up at my hotel around 7am since I arrived in Beijing at 1am from Japan and had to go back to New York by lunch. It was a short tour but he was able to show me the Great Wall and took very nice pictures he walked me back to airport left me on the line if my airlines for me to check my bags. He was very nice, offered me water and was very kind. Spoke good English! I highly recommend Jonny and this company. I had a great time.

    We were there for the transfer and Tony accompanied us. It was very well organized and Tony gave us a lot of information about the wall. He was also very helpful and honest, everything worked out and we got our flight. The communication was really good and the short trip itself... I will never forget it.

    This tour is an absolute must do during a layover in Beijing!
    Were were collected from Starbucks by our guide and loaded into the car. Our guide spoke perfect English and was really informative and funny and also asked us a lot of questions about us and our travels which was nice.

    We got to the wall at 8am so were some of the very first people up there. We took the chairlift up which was a bit weird without skis but the views were great and in some parts we were quite high up!

    Once we got onto the wall our guide took some photos of us then left us to wander about. What a stunning place with an amazing history! The weather was perfect. Apparently the rain the previous day had washed away all the smog so we could see for miles.

    We rode the toboggan down which was really fun. The run is quite long too!

    We also received a T-shirt, some Oreos and water as well as warm coats to wear if we needed them.

    Overall we really enjoyed our tour and would definitely do it again and recommend it to others.

    A 22 hours layover in Beijing presented an opportunity to visit a couple of sites: the Great Wall of China and the Olympic Sports Arena. We took an airport tram, a train, a bus, a taxi, a shuttle bus, a cable car and a subway to get to the different historic sites!

    Dear Willy,
    I have finally reached my home again after a wonderful day yesterday!
    Due to best weather and Katrina, wo is a very nice companion, and your perfect timing and driver, we could walk on the GREAT Wall! Absolutely impressive! And the place was not overcrowded so that it was something of a private visit still. Also the MING tombs!

    Amazing and I am really happy! Thank you very much, indeed! A great pleasure!
    I will strongly recommend your services to people going to Beijing, as everything was so friendly and smooth!
    You are surely a great BOSS!

    Many thanks and regards for now,
    Bettina

    Jonny was an excellent tour guide. He picked us up and we enjoyed a great layover experience. It was an easy way to see the Great wall and make the most of the time. He was professional and a lot of fun, taking our pictures and giving us great information about the Great Wall.

    We booked 2 days before and were worried that there wouldn't be enough time to get the pickup confirmed, but we used whatsapp and got a confirmation before boarding our flight! Warning that the Beijing airport wifi did not work for us the entire time so beware of that in case you are waiting to use it to confirm anything! We followed the instructions sent to us and got the 24 hour visa and found the starbucks by arrivals with ease! Our guide Willam met us there on time and we had a great drive to the wall. He got our tickets for us and took us on the shuttle bus and up to the wall. We took the chairlift up and the toboggan down (highly recommend as it was so much fun!). William took lots of great pictures for us and let us explore the wall on our own for a few hours before meeting him where we started before the ride back down. I couldn't recommend a tour with William more as he is a truly amazing person! I learned so much just from talking with him and he made the day absolutely amazing! If you are torn between different companies, you will not be disappointed by choosing this one. I am very cautious when booking online, especially when needing to provide a deposit ahead of time, and am SO glad I chose this one. It was a chance of a lifetime to see the wall and it was 100% worth not sleeping for over 24 hours to do so :). Thank you William for your amazing company and providing us with the best layover ever!

    I had an 11-hour layover in Beijing and a friend of mine suggested that I apply for a 24-hour visa and tour the Great Wall, as she and a few friends did earlier this year. I was extremely interested because the thought of me sitting in an airport for 11-hours was mind-boggling. But unlike my friend, I was traveling solo until my end destination, therefore I was very skeptical about venturing off alone.

    However, I’m SO GLAD I DID! The tour was AMAZING! William was prompt, spoke very well English and made me feel safe every moment of the tour. He even walked me all the way to the gate entrance when we arrived back at the airport.

    The Great Wall is a must see. The architect is out of this world; and the serenity that you feel while there is indescribable. Whether you’re traveling by yourself or with a group, I urge you to book this trip! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
