Great experience - Herbie was a great guide with wide knowledge of not only the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but the culture and traditions as well. We really enjoyed the tour, they provided us warm coats and water. The car was also spacious and comfortable. I would recommend you to do this tour if you have a layover in Beijing.

Amazing 8-Hour Layover Tour in Beijing – Great Wall & Forbidden City! - What a fantastic tour! Herbie, you were an amazing tour guide—thank you very much! A big thanks also to Mr. Xie, our driver, for getting us everywhere safely and efficiently.
I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to complete the eight-hour tour, but I was reassured that I would have enough time—and they were absolutely right!

Fantastic Wall of China and Forbidden City Tour - We made a 9-hour stopover in Beijing and hired the tour with this company to visit the Chinese Wall and the Forbidden City. As we had been told, at the point we were waiting for our "Herbie" guide and from the first moment it was lovely. He provided us with information about the points to visit (striving since our English is very basic, with drawings and everything), he made numerous photographs (incidentally very good) and at the end of the tour even a detail had us prepared.
I recommend 100% contract with this agency and especially if the guide is Herbie.
Thank you so much for everything Herbie, you are spectacular!!!

HERBIE IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE - Even with a small amount of time, Herbie can maximize your tour and provide the best experience you can ask for. Also, in this tour you will attain the 2 tasks needed as a tourist such as visiting the said destinations. The tour was so good that we learned, a visitor is different from a tourist depending on the group’s engagement and will to learn and listen by what herbie is discussing.
If you are planning to take a tour regardless of the duration, make sure Herbie is with you!

10/10 can’t fault it - I just had the most amazing day with tour guide Nina on my layover on the way to Perth from Dublin ! She knew everything about the wall and the forbidden city. She made sure I was comfortable the entire day, gay great information, advise for photo ops and food recommendations. Daniel made the booking process so easy. Can’t wait to come back through Beijing for another tour with Nina. Our driver was also very helpful and the car was very comfortable

Highly recommend this tour! - Couldnt have asked for a better layover in Beijing! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to visit the Great Wall and the Forbidden city in one day. We booked the tour just 30 minutes before leaving at the airport and it was perfect! Lisa, the tour guide, was great! Friendly, organized and professional. Highly recommended! Great price compared to other tours too.
