Review for: Simatai Sunset & Gubei Night Tour (Dinner Included)

I would highly recommend this trip. Anson was a fantastic guide. He was prompt and had a great car to take me on this trip. He explained the history of China and helped me understand the history. The sunset at the wall was incredible! the views at sunset and later were phenomenal. I was amazed. I didnt know what to expect and wasn’t sure if it was worth the cost but it goes above and beyond my expectations! the gubei water town was incredible. the show at the water fountain is so crazy and fun to watch. the town was well created and is fun to walk around. I loved the whole trip. the dinner was delicious. I’m so glad I went on this trip. anson was great at explaining everything and taking photos of me. Don’t hesitate booking this and ask for Anson.

Miko was an amazing guide! He was so thoughtful and patient, especially with my elderly family member, and went above and beyond to adjust the plans to make things easier for us. Even though the weather turned out rainy and unpredictable, Miko made sure we were comfortable and still had a great time. It was just what we needed, especially since we were traveling with an elderly family member. Highly recommend! 😊

Andy, thank you so much for bringing us around on the tour to the Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Watertown, as well as to the village for dinner. It was truly a wonderful experience for both of us, and we really appreciated your hospitality and guidance throughout the trip. We’d also like to extend our thanks to your boss for arranging this car such a comfortable ride—it was a great way to start the tour. Thanks again. Hope to meet you again.

Our guide 黄导 / huang is knowledgeable and experienced! the pick up was a very spacious and comfortable electric vehicle, fit for VVIPs. he explained the history of the great wall and the different kingdoms that reigned during the warring states period during the 2 hour+ ride there so it felt like a breeze. Gubei water town is picturesque and is worth an overnight stay if you are not in a rush. we took the cable car ride up and the climb up is a much easier feat compared to badaling and jinglingshan. take time to admire the structural engineering behind the great wall! it is definitely a marvel to see its majestic glory at night. during the descent down, be back by 8.00pm (please check the timing) to see the drone show. every corner you turn in gubei water town is great for pictures especially during the autumn season. overall! 5 stars and thanks to our guide, I've learnt so much more about the great wall of china. super grateful!

Jimmy was a great tour guide with a relaxed manner which made my parents and I feel comfortable. Jimmy gave enough information and history needed and did not go over board with the information like other tour guides. My dad really liked Jimmy as our tour guide, easy to have a convo with, great tips on where to take photos and helped looked out for any steps along the way. Highly recommend!

It was the first time for us to visit Simatai Great Wall at night with cable car. Anson, our tour guide, took good care us especially my son. He knows well which spots to have good views, in addition, he shared more historical knowledge not just about Great Wall.

Our guide for the trip was Kevin and he made the whole experience an enjoyable and memorable one. He was knowledgeable, friendly and open with his answers to our questions. He went out of his way to help us and make sure that we got the very best out of our trip. In combination with Mr Soo, they made our day out a very enjoyable journey. The help we received from Kevin took the stress out of the trip allowing us to savour the special occasion.
