Description

Don't spend your PEK (Beijing Capital Airport) layover in an airport chair. A private car and driver are ready the moment you land — and depending on how you book, a private guide too. Three fixed-site options, each with guide, driver, and entrance tickets included: Mutianyu Great Wall — the classic choice, cable car included Forbidden City — for shorter layovers where the Wall isn't realistic Mutianyu + Forbidden City combo — both landmarks in one long layover Two custom options, fixed at 9 hours, airport to airport — you choose the destination: Driver-only, self-guided — just a private car and driver; you pick where to go and pay your own entrance fees Guide + driver, tickets not included — a private guide comes along wherever you choose to go; you pay your own entrance fees on site All five are 100% private — never combined with other travelers, and with no shopping stops of any kind.
