Private Layover Transfer : Mutianyu Great Wall & City Attraktionen

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Zhao Zongyue. He was always accessible, never pushy and was flexible in terms of my itinerary. He was an excellent driver and was always courteous and answering my nonstop questions. I would highly recommend him in this company moving forward.

Our tour guide was Linda and our driver was Soon. Linda was awesome, she spoke very clear English and was very knowledgeable about her country( History teacher ). Linda was very friendly, respectful and very helpful and accommodating to my older parents. After the great wall, we had an authentic Chinese lunch that was very good. We were tired and decided not to go to the forbidden City. Linda took us instead to a part of the city that had 700 year old neighborhood and showed us how people live, we also got to play games with the locals in a town square. After walking a bit we ended up in an area with all kinds of food and shops. My husband even tried a scorpion and we had some Ice cream. We love being totally emerged in the culture. for the great wall and lunch we didn't have enough YEN, So Linda payed for us until we were able to get YEN. This was one of the BEST tours we have ever had. We are very happy we decided to take this tour. Soon was also very polite and a very safe driver.

All in all I had a wonderful stay because of my guide Linda. We went to the Wall, the forbidden city and to an old market - we had a great time. She knew a lot about history and showed me everything I wanted to see, she even made photos like a pro of me. I highly recommend this tour for any layober in PEK, it is worth every penny. Linda was kind and very lovely, she is the best!

Communication with the travel agency beforehand was excellent and as soon as we had arrived, our driver Fred was calling us to meet us at the arrival hall after we had finished the transit immigration process. Pease allow a time window for at least 1 hour for immigration. It turned out that Fred was a friend of the Travel agency owner, who spoke excellent English and also knew perfectly where to go and what to see in Beijing to make the most out of our layover time. Although he was not a guide he showed immense knowledge in Chinese history during out travel to the Great Wall. His suggestions on how to spend our limited amount of time where just perfect. He also helped buying the tickets for all attractions we saw, which saved us valuable time. After having a good time under best conditions at the Great Wall including a tea tasting ceremony at the governmental tea house we headed on to Beijing city center to see some more attractions. Cause the forbidden city closes early during winter time, he showed us a pavillion located at the top of a park just opposite, where we could see beautiful, enlightened Beijing city in 360 degrees. We then headed on to a nearby Hutong to grab some typical chinese food, which was delicious. On our way back to the airport we passed huge Tianamen square and the impressive CBD of Beijing. We are really thankful having made this tour, which gave us a wonderful introduction to our first time in China. Thank you, Fred, for your valuable company. We really had a good time with you in Beijing.

Also if my flight was late (2hrs) my guide Tom was waiting for me. Everything was well organized and Tom has been a great guide that in short time show us Great Wall and Forbidden City too. Thank you Tom and Viator.

Mt grown son and I had a 14 hour layover and wanted to experience Beijing. We were lucky and got Davis as our driver. He made our day special, so glad we decided to go with a driver we were able to relax, enjoy and learn about the area.

We opted for the private driver and it was great. We were delayed for 2 hours because of airline delays and visa wait but driver was still there to pick us up. Driver was great. Some notes: *If you dont speak the language definitely book a guided tour. I feel we missed some history doing it on our own. *there is a lot of walking. Be mindful if you are traveling with senior citizens *I got google translate and it worked well *Get at least 100 USD in Yuan *You can really spend the whole day. We did literally a 2 hour visit. * Going later allowed for less people which was great. we arrived at park at 4pm and it closes at 530p If you can take it all in and appreciate it within 3 hours just do it. Driver was wonderful. Had water and umbrellas for us. Found me a place to smoke. Attentive and friendly.

Our driver did an amazing job, and I would recommend this service to anyone! I waited a couple weeks to write this review and I can't remember our drivers name, but he was a younger man who spoke good English and was very helpful. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this service.

Linda was our driver and she was the absolute best! Very sweet and professional. Highly recommended!

<p>I booked this excursion since I was passing thru Beijing and wanted to see as much as I could in only 10 hours. My flight arrived at 11:00am and immediately when I reached the lobby, my driver, Linda was there holding a sign with my name. She showed me to the nearest ATM and then we headed to our van. The transportation was a 2017 Oldsmobile minivan in great condition. Inside I had water waiting for me and USB ports to charge my phone. </p> <p>Linda my driver was AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about her. We had great conversation and music throughout the day and was so nice. Since I was traveling alone, she took a lot of pictures for me and even went and got my tickets to the wall while I browsed the lobby area.</p> <p>I got her cell number and we communicated as I was making my decent down the wall and for us to meet up again. From there we headed into the city. She drove me to the Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and a night food market. </p> <p>After that Linda and I headed to the airport to catch my flight. I felt so comfortable with Linda all day and she went above and beyond to make my trip, even thought it was fast, a memorable one! I would highly recommend this excursion and to ask for Linda as your driver. Her English is perfect too! Thank you again Linda!</p>
