Excellent trip to the Great Wall at sunset - Excellent trip with our guide Anson. Very smooth drive to the Great Wall in a swish car, fruit & water provided. Anson was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of Beijing & the Great Wall and answered lots of questions. Grabbed some food in the supermarket then got the cable car up to the wall. The sunset view was amazing. We then had a lovely wander round the Water Town and saw the light show. Anson knew all the best spots and when to be at them, as well as all the best photo spots. Would really recommend this tour and it was definitely worth having the guide.

A great experience - We had Wanghui as our driver on the night visit to Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town Private tour from Beijing and he was fantastic. Wanghui was professional, dealing with the tickets, providing helpful advice and communication was easy through translation apps. As we finished quite late he even brought us to an amazing local restaurant for a delicious dinner after our time at Gubei Town. I would highly recommend him and this tour as a great opportunity to see the Wall all lit up at night overlooking the bright lights of the town below.

Great experience and great tourist service - It is a great experience, our guide Anson was a great host, explained us very well and briefly the history of Beijing as a capital and was always attentive to our needs and helped to take excellent photos. The place is amazing and if you have the opportunity to visit it at sunset it is better. I would recommend Anson's guide.

Great Time - We had a lovely time at the great wall and Gubei, the car ride was comfortable and the snacks were terrific. Tian Wei was knowledgeable and fun to talk to despite having to speak through a translator app.

Great taste of the Great Wall - Xing Jian did a great job driving us to water town. He stopped us off for some delicious cuisine and was ready to leave when we were. A good way to experience the Great Wall.

Great tour, bad guide - I'd like to start by saying that the driver was fantastic and professional (he would open my door, knew a few English phrases, drove very safe and smooth, etc). The water town and section of the great wall were both fantastic as well. The reason I am leaving such a poor review is because we paid extra to have an English speaking guide. Everything started off good; Leo stood in the corner of our hotel lobby (didn't hold a sign, message me that he was here, or anything of the like), and I eventually identified him and we got started. He gave about 10-15 minutes of interesting commentary on the history of the great wall at the start of the drive, then went silent for the rest of the nearly 2 hour drive. We went to the great wall first (both are connected). He did not direct us where to go, but just walked ahead and expected us to follow-- this was fine, but a bit odd. He went with us on the cable car, and to a portion where there is a short hike up stone stairs to get onto the great wall. Leo complained, audibly moaned and groaned the entire time. Once on the wall, he sat down for several minutes before saying anything or offering to help us take pictures. After going back down, we went to the water town. Leo was constantly on his phone texting and watching videos. He did not offer any commentary. He walked far ahead of us at a very fast pace as if he was speeding through the entire experience. We had to flag him down and call out his name several times to get him to stop so we could enter shops. During this walk, he tried to shove U.S. political tiktoks in our faces. All in all, we were barely able to spend 2 hours combined at the great wall and water town (less than half of what the description of the tour advertised). During the drive back, Leo appeared to be sleeping most of the time, and offered no commentary. Overall, we still very much enjoyed the locations and the driver, but found the extra $120 USD for an english speaking guide to be a total waste of money.
