5.00The tour was perfect for my 15 hour Layover in Beijing. The pickup and drop off at the airport worked perfectly so i had more than enough time to catch my next flight. The tour guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the city and the Great Wall. I would recommend this tour to everyone who has at least a 12 hour layover and wants to make the most out of their time.
He brings China closer to us!

Great Wall and Forbidden City Tour

5.00We did a layover tour to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. We had a 12 hour layover in Beijing after a 15 hour flight from Houston, Texas. We arrived in Beijing at 4:45am and after getting a temporary Visa (took approximately 1 1/2 hours) we met our tour guide and driver at a Starbucks in the airport. The drive to the Great Wall took about 1 1/2 hours. Our tour guide Sandy spoke excellent English and provided information along the way. It was a bright and sunny day at the Great Wall. Sandy gave us a lot of info about the history and construction of the Great Wall. We rode the chair lift up and down after we were finished. Our tour guide recommended that we not walk up because of snow on the way up, good tip as the steps were slippery. We stayed about 2 hours and then headed back to Beijing and the Forbidden City. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Forbidden City and was helpful taking pictures for us. We arrived back at the airport in plenty of time for our next flight. I highly recommend this tour.
