Great short layover tour

Highly recommend this timely tour if you have a short Layover. Our guide Lisa was helpful and informative. Never would have seen as much on our own.

A perfect experience – highly recommended!

This was the second time Beijing Layover Tours organized a visit for us. The first time, we visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City with the excellent guide Steven, and this time we visited the Great Wall. Once again, everything was perfect. Communication was always fast, clear, precise, and very friendly — thank you, Daniel! The tour was perfectly organized, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. This time we were accompanied by Herbie and our driver, Mr. Tree. They were simply perfect. Thanks to Herbie, we learned a great deal about the history of China and the Great Wall. He is not only an outstanding guide, but also a talented photographer and calligrapher! We would like to thank the entire team for making both of our visits to Beijing so memorable. We highly recommend Beijing Layover Tours to anyone looking for a well-organized, professional, and truly enjoyable experience in Beijing!

Amazing tour with Herbie

Absolutely amazing experience! We had our Great Wall private tour with Herbie during our layover in Beijing. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Communication before was very smooth and easy. Herbie waited for us at the airport and then helped us with luggage and with his driver taken us to the Wall in clean and spacious WV Passat. Herbie was super friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. He was accommodating to our personal preferences and arranged a fantastic Wall experience for us, followed by a delicious lunch in picturesque scenery. He has also taken plenty of beautiful pictures for us during the day. We then headed back to the airport in comfortable time. We fully recommend Herbie as your tour guide, thank you Herbie! :)

Best tourguide

We had the best tour to The Great Wall og China with Beijing Layover Tours. I would very highly recommend it. They had planned everything perfectly. We had the BEST guide, Herbie, who was good at making it a safe and informative tour. We even got a small present (calligraphy with our names). We had the best time and it made our layover in Beijing a lovely memory.

Great guided tour // great wall and peking duck

We booked an airport pickup combined with a guided tour, and it was the best decision we made. Our guide Herbie was incredibly professional, friendly, and shared great insights. Before dropping us at our hotel - Herbie choose a very nice restaurant to experience the peking duck. The communication beforehand was clear, and everything went exactly as planned. If you want a "wow" experience right after landing, book this service!

5* experience

Absolutely fantastic experience from the point we contacted the agency to the point they took is back to the airport. Thank you for Mr Daniel Yan for the prompt response for our query and for organising this fantastic experience. Also We wish to say massive thank you to Herbie. ( our tour guide) So far the best tour guide we ever met. He picked us up on time, well spoken, he gave us tons of interesting information about Chinese history, about the wall, and about culture. He answered for all our questions. Everything went smoothly, so we highly recommend the agency. We definitely will contact them in the future when we next time visit China.
