Hello, I’m interested in this tour but worried I won’t have enough time. I land in Beijing at 4:30 AM and depart the same day at 5:00 PM.
Is that enough time to do this tour and still have the two hours necessary to check in for my international flight departing Beijing?
Thank you for your guidance!

Hi
I have a 12 hour stopover in Beijing and arrive at 3:00 pm and leave again at 2:55 am
Are there any tours that might work for me?
thanks
Hi Anne,
Thank you for contacting us!
Your arrival time is late. Most of Beijing attractions will be closed by then. We recommend you visit the Tiananmen Square and Hutong. We will send you an email about the tour details later, please check.
We are arriving at Beijing Airport at 11:25, Sat. April 13 and have a layover of 22 hrs. and will be departing on Sun April 14 at 9:30 am. We will probably get the Air China Layover hotel. Which layover tour you would recommend. We would love to do both – The Wall and the F City. Will you also be able to pick us from the Air China Layover Hotel. Being Americans, I guess we will take 24 or 72 transit visa. Please advise.
Many thanks,
Dinesh
Hi Danish,
Thank you for contacting us!
Your arrival time is late and the Forbidden City stop entering at 16:00 in April, so you would not have enough time to do both attractions if you spend time to the hotel first.
I suggest we pick you up directly from the airport and load your luggage in our car, our driver will watch your luggage during the tour. And our guide will go with you to visit the attractions.
That is why our company supply a professional driver and a car with licence as well as a professional English speaking licensed tour guide for the tour. (Not just an English-speaking driver with a personal’s car. That is illegal in China)
We can transfer you back to the hotel after the tour. According to Beijing visa-free policy, you can get visa-free stamp at Beijing airport, please see details at: https://www.beijinglayovertour.com/visa-free-policy/.
