5.00If you are planning to have a layover in Beijing, I cannot overstate how terrific our experience was with this tour company and specifically our travel planner. Our overall Beijing layover schedule was tight given the 7 hours we had but the whole arrangement facilitated each and every minute. The only thing I would do differently given another chance for a Beijing layover tour is to actually travel to Beijing on a vacation for a couple of days in order to spend more time on the attractions and explore a little;e bit further. We all loved the experience
