Beijing Airport Layover tour to Mutianyu Great wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square
We choose Tony with Bejing Airport Tour, after doing research with a few different tour company. We choose the private tour, (3 of us, our 14 year old son, my husband and I) Tony explains the detail of the tour plus the procedure at the airport clearly which makes our trip so much easier. Our tour guide Jessica is suppose to meet us at the airport at 8:30am, but we clear the immigration early and came out at 8:00am thinking we have to wait for her. But she was already there waiting for us. She speaks pretty good English, very impressive, explained to us the whole plan for the day. Explains us the history of the Great wall, Chinese Culture, the history of all the places that we visited. She clearly makes our trip memorable by helping us taking beautiful pictures, which we will not know how and where to get the best shots. Tony and his team (Jessica) gave us an excellent experience in Beijing, even though our trip is very short, they literally try to maximize our experience. We highly recommend this company if you are shopping for layover tour in Beijing.

Wonderful Day Seeing the best of China
This tour was everything I was hoping for. Our guide picked us up at Starbucks at the airport on time, and we also had a driver who stayed with car the whole time. Since our Layover was longer than 8 hours we were required to collect our bags from baggage claim, but we were just able to leave our bags in the car with the driver. Our guide Jess was great, she told us all about the wall and the history behind the section we visited and how it was made. We took a cable car up and down which i recommend rather than walking, since walking along the wall is not an easy walk with all of the stairs. the cable car was $20 a person round trip. We knew all along we were going to be pressed for time, since we had a shorter layover than recommended for this tour, and there was traffic getting to the forbidden city. So we hopped out of the car and walked a couple of blocks to get there and save time. Our guide was able to skip us to the front of the line for fast entry and took us through the whole city in about 2 hours, taking lots of pictures for us, and giving us the history about everything. It was more than I could've imagined getting to see during a 12 hour layover. If I come back to China soon, I will definitely use Beijing Airport Tours again!

Layover tour
I highly recommend visiting the Great Wall and the forbidden city if you have a long layover through Beijing! This was the best layover that I have ever had. Tony and crew organized a stellar individualized tour that met every one of our needs. The directions to obtain visas and meet the guide were very clear and efficient. The area of the Great Wall that we toured was in a more remote area and we were able to explore this beautiful structure without the crowds (we were the only people there!). Seeing the sun rise over the Great Wall is something I will never forget. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave excellent explanations of historical relevance on places we visited. Our driver was safe and timely- made it back to the airport in plenty of time for the next leg of our trip. Excellent overall

best way to spend you layover
the tour and tour guide provided were excellent. the price can be on the expensive side, but there's no more efficient way to see the great wall and forbidden city / tiananmen square when your time is limited.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Beijing City Night Walking Tour & Street Food & Beers Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
