Mutianyu Layover Tour.

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Bruce for our private transfer from Beijing Airport to the Mutianyu Great Wall. From the start, communication was seamless. Bruce met us promptly at the designated meeting point, which took all the stress out of navigating the airport. His English is excellent, making conversation easy and informative. The car was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and stocked with bottled water. What touched us most was his thoughtfulness—he even offered us jackets when we arrived at the Great Wall to ensure we stayed warm. If you’re looking for a kind, professional, and reliable driver in Beijing, I highly recommend Bruce!
Amazing layover tour!

5.00This was the perfect tour to do during our long layover in Beijing—a great opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China! Tony was a great tour guide and incredibly kind. He waited over an hour for us when our flight was delayed. The drive from PEK Airport to the Great Wall took about 1.5 hours and went very smoothly. Tony happily answered any questions we had, whether about China, Beijing, or the Great Wall, throughout the tour. The entrance fee was taken care of by Tony and already included in the tour price, and if you wanted to take the slide down, that had to be paid separately—but Tony happily helped us with that as well. He gave us a lot of valuable and interesting information while we were on the Wall and also took great photos of us. This was a fantastic layover tour, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a long layover like we had. It can easily be done within 5–6 hours!

5.00Was an excellent trip to the great wall. From first contact Tony left great instructions to find him in airport. He was very accommodating and was able to extend tour for 4 hours into the evening (for an extra fee) Was well worth it.

Great Time In Beijing

5.00Shane was absolutely amazing. He met me on time and our arranged location and literally spent the day with me at The Great Wall. Didn’t talk too much and answered all my questions along the way. He took every photo and video I requested with a smile and even dealt with the winter winds of Beijing as we sat in long lines. He suggested a tea ceremony that was not far off our itinerary and it was awesome. Most important we got back to the airport in a timely fashion and he was the ultimate professional. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a true experience in Beijing! Can’t wait to go back with my family.

5.00We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Tony! He picked us up directly from the airport in a very comfortable car and took us straight to the Great Wall of China. Tony was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything along the way, making the trip even more interesting. On top of that, he helped us take incredible Instagram-worthy photos at the Wall — truly some of the best pictures from our whole trip. Highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable Great Wall experience!
