We found the experience of exploring the towering structures during our layover to be an unexpected highlight of our trip. Our driver was not only punctual but also shared insightful stories that enriched our understanding of the area. While the personalized nature of the tour exceeded our expectations, a little more time for leisurely exploration would have made it even better.

My airport layover tour to explore the Great Wall at Mutianyu was a fantastic experience, thanks to my friendly English-speaking driver. The personalized service made it easy to enjoy the breathtaking views, though I wish I had a bit more time to soak it all in.
