Review of Beijing’s flexible 4 to 12-hour airport layover tour, with Tiananmen, Forbidden City, transport details, costs, and practical tips.

“Mike the tour guide is a caring person and takes lovely pictures. Yet, I regret having booked the 12-hour-tour, as I have the feeling it wasn’t really thought through and basically veeeery expensive for what was provided… He basically wanted to do the same as a shorter tour but in a slower pace and not with more insights. I mean I appreciate that he saw I wasn’t happy and organised a car to the Great Wall and dinner but still: I had to pay extra to go to the Wall, the entrance fees overall are not included, didn’t get water as written in the description and I didn’t learn more…”
