Excellent layover - our the driver Mr Guo has been super nice and patient. Same for the Linda Beijin tour staff. I would suggest to include also guided tour at the Forbidden City.

The trip was very well organised. It was clear from the start what was included and what wasn’t. Communication was great, I always knew where to go and what to expect. Driver was friendly and professional. I had an amazing day and so glad I have booked. It is not easy to find the way around, especially to get to the great wall. Little bonus is that the driver was permitted to drive up to the cable car location which saves on the queue to get up with the shuttle bus. It is also quite difficult to get tickets to the forbidden city outside china but Linda was straight on it and made it happen. I would recommend!
Great tour, nice driver!

My stopover in Beijing lasted 12 1/2 hours, so I didn't have a lot of time. With this tour I was able to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in one day, which was great. The driver was very friendly and accommodating, I got free water in the car. A little cash for the cable car on the Great Wall, souvenirs, food... I had previously exchanged at the airport. The ticket for the Forbidden City had to be purchased a week in advance using personal details, so my organizer contacted me. Luckily, I also had the perfect weather! An unforgettable day for me! But if you want to do this tour, you should really make sure you have a minimum stay of 12 or 13 hours.

Great day with our driver Davis in Beijing, he knew the in's & out's of the sites. But a word of caution, don't fly with Air China or let them book your hotel in Beijing.
