I have a 15 hour layover, arriving on Apr 18th at 410am and departure at 735pm. We would like to visit the forbidden city and have a food tour. Is it too tight to try to fit a visit of the Great Wall as well?

Our flight from Auckland reaches Beijing at 1. May 2020 at 4:30 am, our flight to Frankfurt starts at 2. May 2020 at 2:30 am. The tour BTG-BLT-141 with Mutianyu Great Wall & Forbidden City & Hutong Layover Tour
should fit in this time frame ? We are a family of 4 adults .
The time of 14h means that for example we start at 8am and we would be back around 10 pm ?
