Completely recommended - We had a 19h layover in Beijing and doing the tour was the best decision we could make. Everything was easy and smooth, the driver (Mr.Maa) was a great driver and our guide Herbie was the best guide we could have asked for, amazing English level, really attentive and he really knows the history, and knows how to explain it to make it fun! Definitely will recommend it!! Price may be a bit steep but is completely worth it to make the most of a Beijing layover.
