The tour was very well...

The tour was very well organised. We were picked up on time and our guide made reservations which made the process much easier. We were also taken into a nice noodle shop with quite good food. That said, we did not leave Beijing with a pleasant feeling. To visit Tianmen square, you need to get through 3 checkpoints and even after that, the police and military personal were everywhere - and not just going about their business, but specifically watching you making their power and control be felt. We were shown many skyscrapers and modern/shiny buildings, clean streets. While nice on the surface, it feels very empty with little actual value apart from manifesting power and wealth. Talking about money or economy is fine. You will also hear rehearsed and fake stories about the communist history. Politics and freedom is a topic you don't mention. We do not blame the guide as they have no choice and we did not want him to get in trouble. You will most likely get the same experience with any other certified guide. In summary, as tourists visiting for only a short time we experienced superficial, show-off Beijing and felt anxious about the control of an authoritarian state all around us.
An excellent layover tour!

Mark, the tour guide was absolutely amazing. He allowed us to design the four hour tour as we wished. Mark’s knowledge of The Summer Palace was very good and it was a fascinating visit with beautiful views over the lake and incredible buildings. We then went to Tian’anmen Square, which was very impressive. Mark dropped us off at an excellent Beijing duck restaurant with superb food. He then very kindly collected us from Beijing and took us back to the airport for our connecting flight. Overall it was an excellent experience of Beijing and we are very grateful for Mark’s expertise and guidance.
A relaxed and flexible way to get to know Beijing a little better!

Short, efficient trip within the centre of Beijing with Rita who took care of everything. Rita picked us up at the airport, arranged our transport and not only showed us around the city centre, but also told us more about the history of Beijing. Rita fulfilled our wishes, whatever we wanted to see or experience (food etc). Rita did a great job during the 4 hour tour. Happy to do it again!
Beautiful day trip during layover

Mark is a very very kind person. Pick-up at the PEK Airport is very easy. Just in front of the Starbucks. We were 4 and he has a very big car. In our few hours in Bejing we have visited Tienmen Square and another main central area with al lot of beautiful local food shops and other amenities. He very help us also with the payment in several shop. Thank you Mark, we hope to see you again.

Short, efficient round of the city centre with easy going Mark, who took care of everything, public transport, entrance to Tienanmen and Temple of Heaven, bike rental. A safe and relaxing way to make the most of a long transfer time at the capital's airport. Xièxie!
