Hi Cesar,
November is the busy season for the layover tourists. There will be many people wait in line to apply the visa free. If you arrival at 5:30am, we do not think you can meet our guide at 7am.
We suggest you book a private tour.

Hi Kat,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to our experience, you can meet our guide at 7am. But we cannot insure that, since it is up too how long the queue will be on that day. (how many people will wait for the queue to apply for the free visa)
About how to get the visa-free stamp, please follow our instructions at: https://www.beijinglayovertour.com/how-go-get-the-visa-free-permit-at-beijing-airport/

If your flight is not delayed. You will can meet our guide at 7am. Because May is the low season for the layover tourists.
Hello we arrive at 5am on next friday and we are staying overnight in Bejing. Is it possible to do your tour which starts at 7am in airport go to great wall, tiananmen and forbidden city and then leave you there. Could we leave you our luggage and get them back befor you go back to the airport? Do you think after the forbidden city we could go to visit the heaven temp’e by ourselves? Any idea up to what time we can buy the tickets and if we could leave them our luggage or would need to go and drop them first at our hotel which is the liuhe courtyard hotel?
Hi Delaye,
Yes, we can book for you the group tour which start at 7:00am. And we can leave you at the city center after the tour. Then you can to to visit the Temple of Heaven by yourself (and transfer to the airport one your won afterwards).
But our bus will go directly to the airport after the tour of the Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City so you can not leave your luggage in our bus I am afraid.
Hi,
We are arriving on Sunday at 4:30am at Beijing airport and our departing flight is at 7:55pm. So is this time frame sufficient for this tour? How long approximately does it take in customs and lining up for the visa stamp and what if the flight is late? and can we pay in australian dollars and how much will it be for 3 people?
thanks very much.
Hi Rohan,
Thank you for contacting us!
We have many tours on Sunday, so the line for the visa free stamp will be very slow. I am afraid you are not able to meet our guide at 7am. According to our group policy: If you did not show up on time at the meeting point, we will go on with our tour. But will refund 50% tour fee to you.
According to your departure time, we suggest you take our another group tour, we will pick you up at 9am and transfer you back to airport 5pm. You will have plenty of time to catch your next flight. Since you do not need recheck your luggage. And normally you would already have the boarding card for the flight depart at 19:55.
You can pay AUD by your credit card via PayPal. The PayPal will exchange your AUD to be USD accordingly.
If your flight is late, please inform us in advance. Then we will cancel your tour and refund you in full.
We just sent you an email about the tour details, please check.
