Great Service and Professionalism - I can say that the tour operator (Beijing Layover Tours) is very professional. We arrived in Beijing as scheduled; however, the Chinese Immigration had their own opinion of our tour and rejected our entrance into China. Beijing Layover Tours tried to help as much as possible and still Immigration denied us again. Although they did not have to do so, Beijing Layover Tours were understanding and voluntarily refunded our full tour price. Thank you very much Beijing Layover Tours. We will soon arrange for a more formal visit to China and will definitely be booking through you again.

Amazing Great Wall tour with Herbie - If you're planning to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World and are looking for a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, look no further.
We had an unforgettable layover trip to the Great Wall of China thanks to Herbie, our tour guide. He was not only knowledgeable, but he showed real passion for his work. To top it off, he was a great photographer who captured amazing memories for us. The pace was relaxed and we didn't feel rushed while Herbie shared his deep understanding of the Great Wall's history and significance. The whole experience left us with a newfound appreciation for Chinese culture.
At the end, Herbie took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed an authentic meal before dropping us off at the airport. This layover tour, which we expected to be just a brief excursion, turned into one of the best parts of our entire trip.

Best and easiest organization - We got to the airport with the idea to get a taxi to go and visit the Great Wall during our layover. Right outside the luggage pickup we found this company and Lisa made our experience way way better! They offered the trip to go and come back, the Great Wall entrance tickets, English guide, water, and even winter jackets since there were -10 degrees! The Great Wall is incredible and definitely a must do, thank you Lisa for being our guide!

Amazing layover at the Great Wall! - I took a tour with Beijing Layover tour during my 13 hours stopover in Beijing. It was amazing! Our tour Guide, Herbie, shared with us the story behind the Great Wall and some cultural background of China, making the experience more insightful. They are very organized (they even provide you with coat if you don’t have it with you!). They really take care of you. If you have a long stopover in Beijing, I would definitely recommend the a tour with them!

Great experience! - Beijing layover tours are amazing. Soo helpful, very responsive and were able to answer any question I had. They shared really useful information on how to get a visa, how to navigate out of the airport as it is quite large, to their meeting point.
The tour itself was great - got to hear the history of the Great Wall of China from the tour guide and were made to feel comfortable on our journey there/ back and during. I’d highly recommend their services

Amazing - Absolutely loved this tour. We had a wonderful guide Lisa and driver ( I am so sorry I forgot his name - this is written in retrospect). They both brought us to the Great Wall and there where hardly any tourist when we arrived there. Honestly a must do stopover.

Love it! - Worth every penny! I met the guide inside the airport, everyone spoke English, were knowledgeable and the car was safe. It was really cold so the guide was ready with free jackets in the event you left your coat on the plane.
You guide yourself up and through the wall but again very safe.I would book another tour with this group.
