This was a superb experience, a wonderful way to break up a long journey and get a whistlestop tour of key tourist spots and a glimpse at city nightlife in Beijing. Our guide, Tony, was the most welcoming guy and so lovely to spend time with. Would thoroughly recommend this as part of anyone's consideration of chossing a long haul with some time to kill.
Tony was a brilliant...

Tony was a brilliant guide who made it all feel easy! We were a little nervous to leave the airport during a layover for the first time but we felt at ease as soon as we were met at the airport. Really appreciated the communication leading up to the tour as well. We got to see a few key sights, enjoy some walks soaking up the atmosphere, learn about life in China from our engaging host, and try some delicious street food - perfect for a taste of the city in the short time we had, and back to the airport in plenty time. Thanks Tony!
Good tour!

A very nice experience! Fine to do if you have a stopover. Tony takes away all worries, he shows many things and tells enthusiastically. Despite the jet lag I can really enjoy it.

Shane was our tour guide and he was excellent. Very good English and informative tour. It was extremely cold and that meant it was uncomfortable to hang around anywhere too long. We went to Tiananmen Square which unfortunately is closed overnight. Birds nest stadium was very impressive. We did enjoy the tour but the cold temperature made it uncomfortable. Shane was excellent and I hope we have him for our return tour to the Great Wall.
Fantastic Layover Tour!

We had a long layover in Beijing, so we wanted to see a bit of the city in between flights. Our guide, Shane, was waiting for us when we got out of customs and immigration, and before long we were in the car and on the way to the city. The tour is primarily a walking tour, which was great after a long flight from the US. Shane took us to and through many of the city's best attractions, and it was fun to see them at night! Shane is a fantastic guide- very personable, a great driver, and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a really fun evening that we'll remember for a long time.
