Simatai Great Wall tours

We had an amazing time on our 1-Day tour to Gubei Water Town & Simatai Great Wall. From the start, our tour guide Susie was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone had a smooth day; she shared tips on the best ways to utilise our time and see everything. We got to enjoy both the incredible views of the great wall and Gubei during the day and night. Everything was planned with efficiency and I cannot fault anything. I would highly recommend this tour, and especially our guide Susie!

was a great day, our guide was super helpful and made good suggestions on what to do first so we don’t have to wait in lines ect, the tabbogan was soooo much fun, it was super crowded and very busy but still definitely worth going, lunch buffet was actually really nice but there are restaurants if you wanted to get your own lunch

My trip with guide Ian was fulfilling and enjoyable. Since it was Labor Day weekend, the bus was completely full, and there were many Korean groups. He explained in English and Chinese, so I focused on learning history as if I were taking a listening test. If you come to Beijing, you must take the Gubei Water Town tour. It's truly vast, unique, and every spot is a photo opportunity. I was also surprised by how massive the Great Wall was when we went up by cable car. I was worried I'd only see the backs of people's heads due to the Labor Day holiday, but it was actually great because there weren't many people, perhaps due to the rain and cold. It's a place you can thoroughly enjoy even without a Korean-speaking guide.

This was a great trip, the water village is beautiful. You can add on extras such as taking a boat to the eating street in the main area, shuttle, return cable car tickets to the Great Wall. The opt-in lunch is a hot pot. It wasnt too crowded and quite peaceful at both the Wall and village. The wall isnt as maintained as the others, but good to see its original state.It does take about 2 hours each way, but worth it. The Great Wall is open either for a morning session until 5pm, then for the evening session from 6pm which is lit beautifully for a smaller section. Bring good footwear and sun protection.

We had an wonderful trip with Zhang Qi who drove us to the Mutianyu Great Wall and then to Gubei Water town. Zhang was very informative in providing information about Beijing, where to go and what to do. Zhang helped us purchase tickets for the chairlift and slide but when we arrived, the wait for the chairlift was 2 hours long which was double that of the cable car. We decided to take the cable car instead so Zhang and his team was able to switch the tickets for us while we were waiting in line. When we finally reached the ticket check, we were already registered for the cable car and we proceeded without any delays. We are very happy with the service provided by everyone involved to make that happen. I would highly recommend taking this tour and thank Zhang for an amazing trip!

If you want to see the view of the Great Wall from movies and paintings, Jinshanling is the section for you! It's not crowded and the tour organises all the transportation and route planning for you to get the best out of your experience! Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall are also beautiful. I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you our guide Allen and driver Mr Zhang for a great day out at Jinsanling, Simatai and Gubei water town! Well planned itinerary and great recommendation for dinner. We truly enjoyed ourselves and the night view of Simitai great wall is amazing and definitely recommended to experience.

We did a tour to Jinshanling section of the Great Wall today and our tour guide was Jimmy. We highly recommend Jimmy as a great guide. We have two 6-year old daughters and Jimmy was so kind with them and went at a pace which was suitable for us. Great communication and very professional and knowledgeable!

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.
