5.00We were there for the transfer and Tony accompanied us. It was very well organized and Tony gave us a lot of information about the wall. He was also very helpful and honest, everything worked out and we got our flight. The communication was really good and the short trip itself... I will never forget it.
Awesome experience

5.00an absolutely amazing experience. I can really recommend this tour. we had the best guide you could have. Tony Beijing Airport is not a place you want to wait for. incredibly cold when it's 10 minus outside.
If you have more than an 8 hr layover in Beijing, do this!

5.00We had a 9 hr. Layover in Beijing on our way from Bangkok to the U.S. so I booked a 4.5 tour to go see the Great Wall of China which was on my wish list of aces to see on the world. I was sceptical that it would work out, not knowing anything about the area or how China works in terms of transit visas. But it all worked out quite nicely! William, our guide, met us at the exact time and place he described in our correspondence ahead of time, provided us with bottled water and warm puffy jackets to wear at the Wall, and drove us 90 minutes to the Mutianyu village portion of the Great Wall. Great conversation along the way. We tobaggoned down the mountain too which was a super fun! We definitely felt that we had just enough time at the wall and he got us back tot he airport with plenty of time to clear security to board our flight home. We were exhausted when we got there, having taken a red eye from BKK and were wondering if we should just sleep at the airport but we are SO glad we rallied and did this outing! Totally worth the time and money! It was a dream come true to see the Wall and to learn a bit about the area and China in General. Definitely recommend this if you have enough time!
Great tour!

5.00A 22 hours layover in Beijing presented an opportunity to visit a couple of sites: the Great Wall of China and the Olympic Sports Arena. We took an airport tram, a train, a bus, a taxi, a shuttle bus, a cable car and a subway to get to the different historic sites!

5.00This was my first ever layover tour and it was great! I had been hesitant to book it from past stories I had heard. I’m glad we did it! William was our guide and he was very good with communicating where he was at and patiently waited for us as we were a little over 30 min late due to our flight. William had water for us in the car and explained everything. He was very aware of our needs and getting us back to the airport on time for our flight home. Definitely would recommend this tour and William as a guide!
