Hello,
I was wondering if I have enough time to do this tour if I arrive at beijing at 3:30 PM and leave at 2:05PM the next day.
Hi Brian,
Your arrival time is too late. The Great Wall and Forbidden City will be closed by then. Sorry about that!

~Transfer you back to airport (12:00-13:00)
~End of our service”
Could we do the route the next day and skip the forbidden city to get to the airport at a reasonable time?
Hi Brian,
According to our recent experience, you would have to recheck in your luggage and get your boarding card again if you have an overnight in Beijing. So you can only visit the Great Wall in the next day morning and back to airport before 11am.
But you can visit the Tiananmen Square and Hutong on your first day in Beijing.
We just sent you an email about detailed tour itinerary and price, please check.
Hi,
We have a total of 15 hours layover in Beijing and we would love to explore and take pictures but we are unsure if it will work due to our expected arrival time in Beijing is 5:55 pm. We are thinking the Great Wall and the Forbidden City will be closed by then. Will they be or do we have a chance to see these landmark?
Hi Mae,
Thank you for contacting us!
Your arrival time is too late, we do not have tour suitable for you. Sorry about that!
Is there a custom tour where we can take a picture of the great wall from a distance? Or can we book for someone to take us around just to see it from the outside?
Hi Mae,
Your flight land too late, you will need at least 2 hours to get out of the airport then 1 hour to drive to the Great Wall. There isn’t any light on the Wall so you can not see anything I am afraid.
I understand thank you for explaining.
You are welcome!
