Beijing Airport Layover to City Flexible(4-12 Hour) Private Tour

I had a great 6 hour tour with Li, seeing Tiananmen Square, the outside of the Forbidden City, Maos tomb, the People’s Congress, old traditional houses and street life. You’d need a full day layover to explore the Forbidden City but this was a great taste of Beijing. Li met me at the Airport and returned me there, he was easy to deal with, knowledgeable and good company for a long, hot wait in Tiananmen security queues. My tip- take as little as possible to Tiananmen, they literally go through every single item in your bag. Thanks Li, great day

Sue was fantastic; she helped me with everything and adapted the tour to what I wanted to see. She took many photos of me and always had a great attitude. I highly recommend it. Additionally, she waited for me for 5 hours due to the delay of my flight!!!

Got Alice as guide and Cheng as driver. Professional, good communication and very flexible.

Everything was perfect, Magen came to pick me up at the airport and accompanied me throughout the visit, then brought me back on time. Highly recommended

Mark Ma gave us what was easily one of the most unforgettable travel experiences we’ve ever had, all during a layover in Beijing. We had an 18 hour layover and wanted to get the most out of it, we booked his longest tour and then discussed with him how we could make it even longer to truly experience as much as possible. From the very beginning, Mark was exceptional: he timed our airport pickup perfectly, somehow predicting exactly when we’d make it through immigration and customs, which made a huge difference after an international flight with very little sleep. His vehicle alone felt like a luxury recovery lounge — incredibly comfortable seats that nearly laid back and even propped up our legs. It was exactly what we needed to recharge before an action-packed day when we were running on only a couple hours of sleep. Mark curated the perfect Beijing experience. We started at the Great Wall, where we took a chair lift up, explored, and then had an absolute blast taking the toboggan down. From there, he brought us to a great tea ceremony that was both relaxing and fascinating. Next was the Forbidden City, where Mark’s knowledge truly shined. He was constantly sharing incredible stories, historical facts, and cultural insights that made every stop feel meaningful. Thanks to his knowledge, we even got to see some of the terracotta warriors on display at the palace that we never would have known about otherwise. The day somehow kept getting better. Mark then took us for one of the most authentic and delicious Peking Duck dinners imaginable where we all got to talk about everyday life in China and how much Beijing had changed since he was a boy. After dinner, we grabbed bikes and rode past Tiananmen Square before heading into a hutong market for shopping, which was the perfect way to experience Beijing at night before heading back to the airport. What’s most impressive is how seamlessly Mark made this all happen. In just one layover, he gave us a rich, exciting, comfortable, and deeply memorable experience of Beijing. He is knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does. If you have even a short stop in Beijing, booking Mark Ma is one of the best travel decisions you could make. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly an amazing guide and an absolutely incredible day!

Sue was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited!

Sue was amazing, very knowledgeable with the history of all the sites we visited. The whole day was very organised and her English was great and her instructions were very easy to follow

Very well organised tour during a 10h layover in Beijing. Thanks to my guide Rita, who was very knowledgeable, efficient and also fun, I managed to visit the Forbidden City and to cycle next to Tienamen Square despite tight timings and long queues. Definitely recommended!

Mark is our driver have been fantastic. Our tour during a long stopover in Beijing could not have been better. Mark picked us up from the airport and took us on a nice tour of Beijing, we ate at a great restaurant and the service was perfect!
