This company was great and very professional. Originally I planned to visit the Great Wall, but the time of my arrival to the airport would not allow for it. Immediately the tour company proposed a new itinerary to see Tiananmen Square and the hutong areas, ending with dinner.
This new itinerary was excellent and I was able to see lots of Beijing in an interesting way. Herbie, my guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and answered any questions I had. As a young traveler, alone in a foreign country, there was never a time that I didn’t feel 100% safe and the experience was incredible!
My next trip I would plan my layover better just to tour with this group again!

We did a quick visit to the Summer Palace and Forbidden City. We were picked up from our compound and whisked away to our sites. David was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of each location. Our tours were totally catered to what we wanted to see. Thank you for being so flexible!

To be clear: our upcoming trip was cancelled and we were not able to take the tour.

However, all of our planning with the company was quick, easy, clear, professional. The cancellation of our tour and our refund was issued almost immediately upon cancellation.

If we are able to reschedule the trip we will 100% book again with this company.

Bijing Layover Tour were amazing in helping me get to The Great Wall in my 7 hour layover in Beijing. The time was tight so I only had 40 mins on the wall but I was the only person there!!! I landed at 5.50am and we were at the wall at about 9am. Lisa was very friendly and helpful, and knew so much about the history of the wall - it was all great. I even had time to grab some authentic food and sample some locally grown stone fruit. Unfortunately I left my phone in the tour car when I got to the airport but when I flew back through Beijing the company met me with my phone, all charged and ready to go. I can not thank them enough, they were wonderful!

Private couples tour with Jily. We were picked up from Beijing Airport and started the tour at 0700 to the Great wall then headed the forbidden city. Jily had a great wreath of knowledge and answered all our questions. she has an amazing sense of humor, and made the whole tour comfortable. Driver is very professional and car is very clean and provides a jacket when cold for the great wall. Overall amazing experience. would highly recommend this tour. Take extra money so you can trip your drivers great service.

Had a 19 hour layover in Beijing, so this tour was perfect! I was slightly nervous about travelling on my own, however I was met on time and the whole process was very easy and stress free! Herbie was an excellent tour guide, he spoke very good English and was able to answer any questions I had, whilst giving me lots of information and history about the places we visited! Herbie also pointed out the best spots for photos, and was a fantastic photographer throughout the day! I would definitely reccoment this tour for anyone with a long layover in Beijing.

Not much to say honestly because everything went perfectly without any issues. Our guide, Herbie, was absolutely amazing - very knowledgeable and friendly. The company itself was extremely responsive and professional. Also somewhat cheaper than other layover companies I checked with.

I would only note that we had a 5 1/2 hour layover to see the great wall and it was enough time, but only just barely. We had to rush a bit and got to our gate with <5 mins to spare, but Herbie managed everything perfectly.

I had a long layover in Beijing, arriving at 6:30am and departing at 11:30pm. The tour I chose was perfect: Great Wall & Forbidden City Join-in Group Layover Tour.

The company itself is a fully-registered tour agency in China. They are legit and super buttoned up. Daniel, the coordinator, is a star. He is swift to answer any questions, and he provides you with everything you need well ahead of time (confirmations, itinerary, payment receipt, letter for Immigration officials). I can't say enough about how helpful he was in setting everything up.

The tour was amazing. Imagine getting to see the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City all in one day!! If you have the time for this tour, do it! The package includes a driver and a very knowledgeable English-speaking guide. You can safely leave your luggage with the driver in the vehicle as you explore with the guide, so no worries about what to do with your bags.

Back at the airport after the tour, I spoke to other travelers who were extremely disappointed with the tours they took with other 'companies'. They paid double the price and only went to the Great Wall with a guide who didn't speak English and tried to extort additional money from them. My advice is to stick with this LEGIT company to ensure you get a quality experience that flows smoothly.

Many thanks again for an unforgettable experience!

We had a wonderful tour with an even more wonderful guide, Herbie. He accommodated our rather difficult request to see Tiananmen Sq, Forbidden City, AND the Great Wall all in HALF a day... AND WE DID IT! The directions to meet up with Herbie in the airport were very precise and clear. We met up at 12pm (after landing at 10:40am and going through immigration, etc.). We saw the outside of Tiananmen Square, but were given extreme background and history by our lovely guide. We then headed to Forbidden City and explored it plenty. The last part of the trip was The Great Wall. My friends and i JUST made it for the very last cable car by 5pm (CASH ONLY!) otherwise we would have had to hike all the way up (which was not going to happen). When we got to the top, we had the place all to ourselves. Herbie was not only an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, he's also quite the photographer. He made sure my group of 5 took advantage of having the entire place to ourselves (NO OTHER TOURISTS AROUND BUT US - SO LUCKY AND AMAZING) and we had about 2 hours worth of photoshoots and history! What an incredible day! I *HIGHLY* RECOMMEND THIS TOUR COMPANY AND I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REQUEST HERBIE!

My parents and I had a 7.5hr layover in Beijing so this was an excellent opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China. Now it was just a matter of choosing a company to go with. And believe me I made a huge research, reading hundreds of reviews, comparing prices, trying to find cheaper solutions, (but unless you speak Chinese, I would not recommend you taking a risk and going there on your own. You would need to take a taxi (drivers only speak chinese) as there are no regular busses from the airport and going to Beijing would cost you lot of precious time..) So I came across this company and it was by far the winner. Not only they have competitive prices, the customer service is just amazing. First of all they always replied to me within 5 minutes, second of all they are very very helpful - As We were travelling from warm country to warm country, we didn't want to take any winter clothes but they provided us with winter jackets, which saved us from having to pack and carry around heavy and space taking items in our luggage. Also they are very flexible and they joined us with another person who was also interested in visiting the Great Wall during the same time, which brought the price for all of us lower. They are also very organized and experienced, so there is no chance you'll miss the plane. They really count on everything (queues in immigration or rush hours in Beijing). So to sum up this was a fantastic, organized, stress-free, dream come true trip
