I am traveling with a group of 9 people (5 adults and 4 children). We would like to take the Private Mutianyu Great Wall & Forbidden City Layover Tour. Can all 9 of us go in the same vehicle, like a bus? On the morning of June 20th, we will be staying at an airport hotel, probably the CITIC Hotel Beijing Airport. Can we be picked up at the hotel instead of the airport terminal? Our flight leaves Beijing at 6:30 PM. Can we be dropped off at the airport around 4:30 PM?

If we were to land in Beijing at 3:10 pm on April 26th and have to leave the next day at 2:35 pm, would there be enough time to see the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Forbidden City? We could maybe split it into two tours-one the 26th and the other the 27th. Is this possible or should we tried to book a different flight? Thank you for your advice.
Hi Pamela,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to your arrival time, we do not think you can visit the Great Wall or Forbidden City. You can only visit the Great Wall or Forbidden City on the next day morning.
We suggest you book a different flight to Beijing earlier or departure Beijing at a later time. Then you can visit both of Great Wall and Forbidden City.
