What I expected and more - It was all perfect! The tour was very well organised and Herbie, our tour guide, knew a how to make best use of the time available. He explained to us everything about the history of the Great Wall and Forbidden City and answered to a lot of question about chinese culture, you could see that he loves what he does and thanks to him the tour was really engaging. I didn't go back to the airport with the rest of the group because I had more time and wanted to see the Hutongs and he explained to me where to go and how to use the subway on my way back. He makes the difference, ask for him when you book the tour!

Best way to spend a layover! - Amazing! Perfect way to spend a long layover in Beijing. Lisa was a brilliant and knowledgable host and it was great to have some key highlights of Beijing captured into one tour. The tour included pick up and drop off at the airport so there was no stress from that perspective.

The best way to spend a long layover in Beijing. - This tour was absolutely awesome. Tony, our guide was super knowledgable and shared so much knowledge about the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. We had a small group of only 2 people and had a great limousine with an excellent driver who smoothly brought us through the hectic Beijing traffic. The tour is absolutely worth its money and a perfect way to spend a long layover in Beijing. Will do a tour with this organiser on my flight back again as it was so good! Daniel, who will answer your email / website requests is super fast with his responses and will make booking a breeze ... he immediately picked up on error that I made with my booking, confusing dates and was very helpful with visa questions as well. I can only recommend Beijing Lover Tours. Thanks so much for a great tour! Absolutely trustworthy and professional.

Excellent, so professional and perfect for a solo traveler - The trip was perfectly organised. The punctuality was remarkable during the whole day and the knowledge of our guide was beyond abroad. The mini bus was pristine and well dressed driver. We were kindly offered water and warm clothes to travel. I really enjoyed our stop to have dinner in downtown. Cute local restaurant with delicious homemade food, local beer and good price. Definitely I will hire them again in my next layover there.

Tour with excellent guide - Excellent tour and best guide (Lisa) through the wall and the forbidden city. In my case I booked at the Terminal 3 counter and everything was very easy. I went down the wall slide, without a doubt the most fun option. They also sell SIM cards. It has been a long stopover very well spent. Thanks again to Lisa for her professionalism and friendliness!
