Fantastic tour, with perfect organization. Jessica (tour guide) was extremely helpful, meet her out of Arrivals gate, car and driver service very precise. All tour and experience was great... after this tour we decided to book a second one for GREAT WALL and PALACE OF HEAVEN. Thanks Jessica and Tony.

We had 2 tours with the first a layover tour to the Mutianyu part of the Great Wall. Tony our host was on time and a very good guide. No trouble to show us where to go and how to do it. Very easy and plenty of time to be take in the wall and back to airport. Because Tony was so good we organised a day trip on our return leg to take in the 4 sites we wanted to do in Beijing. Jessica was fantastic on a very hot day.Driven to all the sites by a very good driver.Loads learnt and very organised through all the entrances. A great authentic peking duck lunch from a local place. Thoroughly recommend this tour as we would not have got to see it all on our own.

This was a great option! Tony made the process very easy from the start, he even helped explain the process for the visa. Our tour guide was amazing, Jessica was right on time at the agreed place. She was very good with the explanations and she was very knowledgeable about the places we were visiting. She also made everything to make our tour as memorable as possible, even sugesting great photo poses and locations. She also took us to a delicious local place for lunch. I recommend this tour to anyone that has a long layover in Beijing.
