Even if quite expensive, the tour was perfect. The guide picked us at airport, communication through La Vacanza Travel worked well (we have all on Google, which is not acessible in China - the same like Facebook - so we needed to choose ths channel). He brought us to the reconstructed part of the Wall. It is in the mountains norhen of Beijing. The weather was king to us - it was a sunny day, even if cold, walking over the wall top was fine. The breathtakong views, supported by the blue sky shown us the wall in its whole monumentality. Even if we walked only short part of it, the the trace of the (partially reconstructed) wall in the mountains had been seen both directions where we were able to see. It told us how giant construction the wall had to be. After approx. 5 hours we returned to the airport. Thank you our guide.

My girlfriend and I had an 8 hour layover stop in Beijing on our way home from Thailand. Rather than camping out in the airport, we decided to research what options we had for visiting the Great Wall. This tour group had some of the best ratings, and after having done the tour, it is obvious as to why! Right after booking, I received detailed instructions how to navigate the airport and where to meet our guide! (We were actually given phone, text, email contacts for any questions we had. Once we made it through the airport, we were greeted by our amazing guide, Michael. Michael really made this layover trip amazing! Being that we were just in Thailand and didn’t have warm clothes for the cold weather, Michael supplied us with warm jackets to ensure that our tour was comfortable. During the tour, he not only spoke on the history of the wall, but also about Beijing and Chinese culture, and took a TON of photos for us! Next time I visit Beijing, have a long layover, I will DEFINITELY do this tour again.

My boyfriend and I were flying back to the US from Thailand and stumbled upon this amazing experience. I was a little hesitant at the idea of leaving the airport on an 8 hour layover, but they give you every detail of what you need to do. They even have jackets for you if you’re traveling without one. Michael was an AWESOME guide. He made the entire experience effortless and is very knowledgeable. He also knew where to take all the good pictures, we left with tons of amazing photos. I can’t say enough good things about Michael, and the Great Wall Layover tour. Definitely do it if you have a long enough layover!!

Our layover to Beijing was in the middle of the night so there was not much we could do. We really wanted to see the Great Wall, and this was one of the only companies that offered a sunrise tour. The Airport Layover Tour company was quick and responsive to our inquiries and organized the perfect tour for us! We absolutely loved it. They gave us every detail we needed to get through immigration, the driver and tour guide were punctual (we got in early and they were already there!), and Tony was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. We would highly recommend this experience. Thank you so much Tony!!
