Great experience! Well prepared but not “heavy” with transmitting it at the same time. On time, good language skills- only superlatives. 100% recommended. Thank you!

Very happy we found this tour. Our plane landed in the afternoon, and we were having a hard time finding a forbidden city afternoon tour. I'm so glad we found this one. Our tour guide Herby spoke great English, was conversational and made over 1000 years of history very entertaining. He also took a lot great pictures and shared some good suggestions. If you can, request Herby, do it.

Having a whole day layover in Beijing I decided to make a tour and selected "Beijinglayovertour". My choice was not inexpensive but after all I had for myself a nice car with a very smart driver and a personal tour guide - Ms. Nina. Every detail re. tour was excellently organised starting with an e-mail precisely describing virtually every step from leaving the aircraft, getting 1-day-visa and meeting the tour guide. Ms. Nina was not only a great source of information but thought of many details making this tour very memorable. The provided very warm coat (right size!) was important considering ambient temps of -10 deg C.

We had such a magical Layover tour not once but twice! We had a long layover in Beijing going and coming back home, so we booked with Beijing layover tour for experience China for the first time. Great choice!! Hans was a wonderful tour guide, we had a lot of fun with him! He was very informative, showing us around and giving us history and fun facts about the sights. We had originally planned the great wall on the first layover but got cancelled due to the mega snow that fell on December 14th. We were SO lucky to see the city blanketed in snow. Hans also had two heavy winter coats ready for us to use. They were so comfortable and convenient! The whole thing was so beautiful and a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hans also recommended a wonderful spot for Peking Duck and it did not disappoint! On the second layover back home, we finally saw the great wall! Our favorite places on the trip were the Temple of Heaven and the Summer palace! We really got to see a lot during our two layovers, what a treat! Thank you Hans for an unforgettable layover, wow!
