Hi,
I have a 12 hour layover arriving Beijing 13:05pm next Friday 11 May 2018 and departing 1.05am on Saturday morning 12 May 2018. What tour would you recommend in this time frame? A Forbidden City tour? I’m also flying back from NZ to London 2 weeks later with a 9 hour stopover on a Monday, so am considering a Great Wall tour on that day seeing as Forbidden City is closed on Mondays? Would appreciate your suggestions. I am travelling on a NZ passport. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for contacting us!
Yes, you can visit the Forbidden City on May 11, 2018 and visit the Great Wall on your second layover in Beijing.

Hi, my sister and I arrive in Beijing around 5 am on 12th May and we fly out very early on the 13th of May. We would like to do the Tiananmen Square, forbidden city half day tour on morning of the 12th. We return to Beijing on the 12th June, flying in early around 4:30am . We are hoping to do a half day tour again to Great Wall on the morning of that day. We would like to do both tours in the morning so that we can rest in the afternoon before our next flights. We are booked into a hotel near the airport to rest before our return to airport for adjoining flights. Is it possible for us to be picked up from the airport to go on the tour and to be dropped back to hotel located near airport afterwards? Also can you email a cost for the tours. Thanks.

Hi,
I will be reaching PEK at 11.30 AM on Sunday (April 22nd) and my next flight departs at 6:05 pm on the same day (April 22nd). Could you please suggest what would be an appropriate tour option for me. This will just be one adult.
Thanks
Hi Tanmay,
Sorry, your time is too short. We do not think you will have enough time to do a layover tour.
Hi, there are 4 in my party, we will be arriving the night of Sept 3, 2018 and flying out the next day at 16:30 pm (09/04/2018). On our way home we have another over night layover, we will arrive at airport at 12:05 pm on 09/12/18, and fly out the next morning at 11:00 am. We are thinking of the Great Wall for one tour and the Forbidden forest for another, but want to know which are best for which day if they are both possible? Thanks.
Hi Celeste,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to your layover time, we recommend you visit the Great Wall on Sep. 4, 2018 morning. And visit the Forbidden City on Sep. 12, 2018 afternoon.
