Really enjoyed the tour, amazing places. our guide Roberta took really good care of us. Highly recommend taking the boat in Gubei Water town. It's 80 RMB extra, but so worth it. Lunch was okay. Simatai Great wall was very nice and not crowded at all, barely any people. I thought like the tour was a bit too long, could be 1-2h shorter, since Gubei is not that big, you could see it all in 1h.

We came to Beijing on a family vacation. My parents wanted to see the Great Wall, so I immediately booked a tour program that allowed us to see Gubei Water Town and the Great Wall together. I couldn't make it to the meeting place on time on the day of the reservation, so the guide postponed it for a day later. Our guide Susie was very kind and gave us a very detailed explanation. Gubei Water Town was a very beautiful and quiet town, and the Great Wall was really huge and felt great. Thanks to her, we had a really enjoyable experience. If my friends come to Beijing to visit, I will definitely recommend this tour!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🤍🤍
