/ August 4, 2026

1.Private Airport Layover Sightseeing Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 374 reviews · from $59Our pick

Private layover transfer in Beijing: name-sign pickup, Mutianyu Great Wall with VIP pass, plus flexible city add-ons, roundtrip airport service.

“This was a fantastic experience! So convenient for anyone who has a long enough layover in Beijing to leave the airport. Very much recommended - guide, Sam, was very helpful, funny and kind and had good enough english, or otherwise was happy to use an app for translation purposes. Excellent value for money. If you choose the great wall tour - don't bother with tickets, just buy the cable car pass - VIP parking available with Sam! And good coffee reccomendations too. We had a brilliant day and he was totally easygoing and made sure our options were available and our own decisions - no rush or pressure. Thank you…”

“Highly recommend this tour, Dong is a fantastic guide and very kind. I had 12 hours in the airport by myself, so decided to break it up with this tour. Dong was prompt with the pickup, and had water available in his very comfortable car. Very useful to have a local to translate with staff at the wall, and otherwise explain things. Dong knows a lot about the history of the wall, and was very excited to share his knowledge. I thought he was very generous with his time, and I'd gladly do this tour again.”
