Hi,
We are two and would like to visit The Great Wall and Forbiden City. We have layover at 4th of January. We are landing at 4:45am and departing at 7:05pm, so about 14h20m of layover. If we book the private tour, is it for sure we get back in time (would like to be back at the airport around 3-4pm)? I heard about big traffic in Peking, so we are worried to don’t miss our conecting flight. Also how long do we need at the airport to get back to departure gate, are there long queues?
My last question is, do you offer the winter coats for every tour (private and group)? We definitely would borrow them, as we have flight to Phillipiness 🙂
Thank you for your help.

You do not check-in the flight again in Beijing, you will have the boarding card for your next flight before you are in Beijing.

Hi,
We have a 10 hour lay over December 29th but we dont land until 14:30pm.
Are their any options for yours with a landing time in the afternoon??
Would love to see the great wall but guessing it may be too dark or closed ?
Thank you!
Mel

Hi Mel,
Thank you for contacting us!
According to your arrival time, most attractions will be closed when you get there, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. So I recommend you visit the Old Beijing Hutongs area.
