Loved the flexibility of booking a layover tour with China Tours. Had a great time. Our guide Jenny was GREAT. Would absolutely do another one with this company!! It was a layover tour on our 3 week Thailand trip and my bf thinks it was the highlight of the ENTIRE trip!! Wish there was a higher rating to give this trip.
Great experience during a layover

We had an 8-hour layover and I was a little nervous on timing but we made it back with even some time to spare. Jenny provides us with great instructions on meeting her at the airport and then a private driver took us right to the cable car to get to The Great Wall. You have to take out some money to pay for the cable car but we did that at an ATM at the airport. We spent about an hour at The Great Wall and then got to take a tobaggan down. Jenny was very sweet and made sure that we were seeing the best views of the wall and getting back in time for our flight. I would definitely recommend this if you have a long layover!

This was the best single day layover tour I have ever done. Jenny my tour guide was amazing! She was knowledgeable and her english was perfect and easy to understand. Every detail was handled and my day was exactly as described. You will have the Great Wall to yourself early in the morning followed by a great day through Beijing. I opted for the Duck lunch and it was perfection. Can't wait to return to China soon!
Great layover and so easy....

OK you have never been to China before you have time to kill and want to see the great wall then these are the people to talk to. Jenny was amazing from start to finish. She sent me a plan how to get out the airport, met me with a smile and got me back again in time for my flight. The great wall by night is amazing and she ensured I had a great few hours. it got my trip off to a great start...thanks Jenny

My layover tour with my mom was fantastic, because of our tour guide Mai. She came on time to pick us up at the airport , helpful, patient (with my mom who is 84 year old ) very informative and always smiling made the difference. If ever I would go back to Beijing I would still chose this company and hopefully Mai or Mei would still be available. Thanks Mai ! Wishing you all the best !

On our way through the Chinese capital, we contacted this Enterprise to get to know the great Chinese wall and the forbidden city, the Jenny guide, excellent, we were picked up at our hotel and taken to the great wall, then we were taken to the Forbidden City and as a plus, we went to the factories of Te, and silk, and finished in the Olympic complex .. an unforgettable day, super recommended.

the only way to take a layover tour and a great way to see the country within a very short time. The tour went beyond my expectations and the driver and guide were the very best with a wealth of knowledge, wonderful sense of humor and very friendly. Everything was taken care of and i felt very welcome in the country. Please don't change anything everything is perfect as it is.
