We arrive 14/11/2017 at 13.20pm and depart again at 00.50. Would love to do tour of Forbidden City and Tiannmen square, can this be arranged with the timeframe we have. Do we need a visa
Hi Antoinette,
I do not recommend you to visit the Forbidden City. Since your time is very tight. (You would need 1-1.5 hours to get through the immigration then meet our guide. You need another 1 hour from the airport drive to the city center. The Forbidden City stop entering at 15:30 in low season.)
Can you suggest anything else maybe a trip into the city?
Hi Antoinette,
We recommend you visit the Summer Palace or Hutongs. We just sent you an email about detailed tour itineraries, please check.
You can get visa free at Beijing airport.

Kind regards,
Anne
Hi Anne,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to your layover time, you can only visit the Forbidden City or Great Wall. You have no time to visit both of attractions.
We just sent you an email about detailed tour itinerary, please check it out.
My husband and I are taking a 10 day trip to Thailand, and we have layovers in Beijing at the beginning and end of our trip. I recently been booked a layover trip to the Great Wall with your company (April 30). Can we book another layover tour for when we return (May 9)? We are US citizens. I wasn’t sure if we would be able to obtain authorization (visas) a second time within 10 days.
Hi Sherelle,
Thank you for contacting us!
Yes, you can get visa free on May 9, 2017. We have did many tours for our clients who have two layovers in Beijing with 10 days.
Hi,
I’ve got a layover in Bejing on July 24-25, departing at 1pm on July 25. Is it possible to do a Temple of Heaven and Forbidden City Tour on the morning of July 25 and make it to the airport in time for my flight?
I know the Temple of Heaven opens at 6am and the Forbidden City at 8:30, I know it would just be the highlights of both… But, I don’t know when I’d be back.
Hi Tim,
Thank you for contacting us!
We can take you to visit both Temple of Heaven and Forbidden City on Jul. 25, 2017 morning. We just sent you an email about detailed itinerary, please check it out.
