Personalised Friendly Layover Tour - We took this tour as part of a 9 hour layover in Beijing. We found the booking process really efficient and I was reassured that our guide was asking about our return flight to ensure we were back at the airport on time. We were greeted at the arrivals gate by our very friendly and welcoming driver. Zhou, our driver, asked what things we were interested in seeing and personalised the tour to us. We had a comfort journey in the car and we’re provided with some refreshments. Zhou was very informative and knowledgable. We were able to squeeze a lot into our 5 hours so definitely saw as much as we could in a short space of time. Furthermore we also made it back to the airport comfortably with plenty of time. I would definitely recommend the tour as a way of making the most of a long layover in Beijing and being able to see the city.

Best layover trip hands down - It was a wonderful experience. My driver was absolutely brilliant. He took me to all the places i needed to go and he provided water which was very welcome considering it was 38°C. I will be booking another layover trip on my way back.
Highly recommend.
