Great Wall (Mutianyu)
Nov 2017 • Family
We had a 5 hour layover in Beijing so we booked this tour in advance. In order to leave the airport you must obtain a visa from the airport. Unfortunately there was a large group ahead of us that needed their Visa’s ASAP so we ended up waiting about an hour or so to get ours. We had no way to communicate this to our tour operator who was waiting on the other side. When we finally got our visas, we found our tour operator where we planned to meet. He had a huge smile on his face and although our time for the tour was shortened he was still confident that we would get it done and be back in time for our flight. Our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and spoke great English. He also came up the wall with us and took some great shots of our family. We had a fantastic time and our driver was amazing. Definitely recommend this tour!

Layovertourbeijing: Great Wall
Mar 2018 • Solo
I was delayed for an hour getting my visa but Melody was still waiting at Starbucks when I finally got there. Had signed up to visit 4 sites in Beijing but after talking with Melody realized that I had to choose so I chose the Great Wall. Melody was great. Very knowledgeable & helpful. A truly nice person & loved that she had water in the car, I was thirsty. She took excellent pictures of me at the Great Wall. I would highly recommend this tour to family & friends because of Melody’s professionalism & caring attitude. Thank you Melody. All the best.

The Great Wall of China with Beijing Private Layover Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall
Jan 2020
This is a review of my Beijing Private Layover Tour to Mutianyu The Great Wall of China.
I had a 14 hour layover on January 7th of 2020 at Beijing Capital Airport and had scheduled a tour with Adele on January 6th. She was able to help me out at the last minute with email responses, itinerary, and payment arrangements. The reviews online their website looked decent so I decided to give it a try. I met my tour guide "Beiber" as soon as I could get the 24 hour entry permit that is granted to travelers without a visa. This is mandatory if you wish to leave the airport! It was Adele who sent me a list of instructions and where to go and what to do so I could meet my tour guide who brought me to his van and we proceeded with the 1.5 hour drive through Beijing to the Great Wall of China. Now January is quite cold as it was 0 degrees Celsius outside! But if you forget to bundle up, have no worry the provide a heated van ride and a thick coat to keep you warm outside! Now for the journey to the wall we started out at base entrance in the small village and was given my entry ticket as well as my cable car and toboggan slide ticket. You take the cable car/ski lift up about 5 minutes which takes you to the wall. Make sure your not afraid of heights you get elevated above ground very quick! Once up their be sure you catch a scenic view of the mountains before you go up the stairs to the great wall. Once inside your in! Congratulations you have made it to Mutianyu the Great Wall of China! What an amazing place to visit, take lots of pictures and video it will be a memorable experience. I walked a total of 2 hours, 1 in each directions from entrance number 6 to the great corner tower number 1 according to the maps posted at the base village. This time of year with such cold weather had very little visitors so I was able to get quite a few shots with absolutely no one on the wall. It was a very special experience to remember for a lifetime. You are walking structure that has been around for thousands of years, very impressive. The steps can be quite steep and terrain slippery with snow, there are hand rails in the more difficult sections for assistance. Finally making my exit I decided to take the toboggan slide down and boy was it fun. After all what you do up there you will be hungry, my tour guide met me inside the restaurants in the village and we had 1 hour lunch before drive back to airport. They have subway, baskin robbins, Chinese food, hamburgers, coffee, and all sorts of food and the venders take Visa/MasterCard if you have no local currency. All in all if you have 8 hours of more of a layover at Beijing airport, you have to take this tour and experience the Great Wall of China for yourself. My total time for my tour lasted about 6 hours. Adele herself called me to check in during my lunch break to see how everything was going, at first I was thinking to visit other areas that they offer to take you such as Tienanmen square and the forbidden city, but I was so tired from the walk on the wall I decided to just call it a day and go back to airport. It is nice to know they are very flexible with there options and they are looking out for you. Great accommodations all around. In summary if you have an extended stay in Beijing and want to experience the Great Wall give Beijing Private Layover Tour a chance. Am glad I did!

Night layover trip to Sunrise on the Great Wall!
Apr 2019 • Family
We had a layover in Beijing from Midnight to 9:50a.m. Rather than try and sleep on the uncomfortable benches and wanting to see some China on the way to Thailand,I started a search for what we could do in those hours. I started asking about getting to the Great wall for Sunrise. I asked several sites .No one could do it. However this group contacted me finally with a plan. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! We were picked up at 3:30am. Our Driver took us around Tiananmen square at night all lit up. (Which was special to us on this 30th Anniversary year. Then he drove us to a remote section of the wall. They provided head lamps and Warm down coats. We hiked a simple but fun hike up to the wall in the moonlight. we mounted at dawn. Stars popped across the sky and in the moonlight we could see the wall stretch before us.Slowly we watched the colors change and lakes trees and villages appear as the morning sun illuminated the massive wall before us. We exercised Ba Duan Jin (a kind of Tai Chi) and did some Yoga Got fantastic shots! And it was Just us!!!!! As far as the eye could see. We listned to Chinese music in the car the whole way back to the airport and got to see remote village life starting their day as we drove. We got back in plenty of time Checked into our connecting flight and off to Thailand! Totally made two trips out of one!!!!! LOVED THIS!!!!! Been to the wall years before at mutianyu during the day! But,so fun to have the wall to ourselves and the incredible night and sunrise views!

Simple and Easy
Jan 2019 • Friends
We booked this tour last minute when we landed in Beijing. They were quick to respond and fit us in the schedule. For how cheap it was, it was well worth the money. Our driver even dropped us off at a Chinese restaurant near the airport on the way back.

If you're just killing time and haven't seen the wall, it's a must do.

Short layover in China
Sep 2017 • Couples
We went on a tour of the Great Wall during an 8 hour layover to Thailand. It was a wonderful tour. We had our own driver and personal english translating tour guide who met us at the air port and drive us to the Wall. She was wonderful. Told us all about the history of the great wall as well as showed us all the fun ways to get up and down fron the wall. They provided us with bottled water and a safe place to store our things while we climbed the wall. I 100% recommend this tour guide company to anyone visiting China with a layover of over 7 hours.

Great Wall of China Tour (Mutianyu)
Jun 2018 • Family
Just finished our tour here in Beijing, China at The Great Wall of China with my Mom and my two young boys! The sights were breathtaking and satisfying. Our tour guide Jackie was super awesome the whole trip! Him and our driver Ho met us at the airport on time. They are super convenient and gave us a lot of information on the Great Wall and other places in Beijing. The van was super clean provided us with water and cool A/C and had lunch afterwards at the Great Wall. We also visited some stores to buy souvenirs. Then Jackie and Ho took us to a Tea house and we had tasted authentic tea and had a tea ceremony. We all enjoyed our layover here at Beijing and I would really recommend doing this and contacting this company! They are great in service and had great hospitality. THANK YOU!!!!

7 hours layover became a lifelong memory
Jan 2018 • Solo
Friends told me about this company and I was so happy. Instead of a dreary 7 hours in an airport watching Netflix I got to see a wonder of the world!! Grace met me at Starbucks at the airport with a driver and off we went to explore. Got to spend as much time on the wall as I wanted then a great meal and I even fell asleep on the way back to the airport in the very comfortable car! I would highly recommend them! The slide was a hoot also, and you cannot forget about the Mongols!
