Our driver, Sun was amazing. Kind, helpful and always in time. He took us to a small local restaurant were we had some tasty dumplings. We had enough time to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall and the we picked the Ming Tombs as our next visit spot. Both places had a beautiful sightseeing. 100% recommend to make the most out a short layover in Beijing.

This was a great way to spend my layover in Beijing. My guide was Wang Guo Wang and he was great, he was very friendly and answered any questions that I had for him about the city or the two stops. He was waiting at the airport with a sign that said my name, was very easy to find him after I got through customs, and he helped me with the ticket lines and was waiting for me whenever it was that I finished at the Wall ands at the Forbidden City. The whole excursion took about 8 hours in total, from pickup at the airport to dropoff back at the airport. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
