⭐ Five Stars Are Not Enough! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our tour to Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Great Wall with Leo’s Private Tours was an absolute highlight. Our guide, Yoshi, was exceptionally knowledgeable and brought the history of both sites to life with fascinating stories and insights. What made the experience even more special was that he also took the time to explain Chinese characters and their meanings, helping us improve our admittedly modest Mandarin skills along the way. A special thank you also goes to our driver, Yoyo, whose kindness, warmth, and joyful personality made the entire day even more enjoyable. Gubei Water Town is a true hidden gem. It is difficult to understand why it is not as famous as many other attractions around Beijing. We were fortunate to visit on a relatively quiet day, allowing us to explore without crowds or long queues and fully appreciate its beauty and atmosphere. Walking through its picturesque streets felt like stepping directly into a Chinese historical drama. The Simatai Great Wall was equally impressive. Compared to some of the more heavily restored sections, it feels much more authentic and original. The hike is a bit more steep, but the spectacular views and unique character of the wall make it more than worthwhile. The combination of outstanding guiding, comfortable transportation, rich cultural insights, breathtaking scenery, and genuine hospitality made this an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Leo’s Private Tours, and especially Yoshi and Yoyo, to anyone looking for a deeper and more authentic experience of China.

Super friendly and helpful! - Because I was going solo, I honesty was a little nervous to meet up with the driver and go a long distance by myself, but it was all gone after I met up the driver, Mr.Ping! His wife came along, which made it more reassuring. Also, his English was fluent and was very very helpful! Even though the tour I chose doesn’t include a guide, he walked me to the ticket office, helped get the tickets, explained the Water Town map to me, and even helped me set up the Wechat haha. After I had my fun and adventure at water town and the Simatai wall (which was amazing), he was thoughtful enough to ask me if I had other plans after this, and was very kind enough to drop me off at my next destination!! I’m so glad I took the chance to come to Gubei water town!! Zero regrets! Thank you so much, Mr. Ping!! 🥹
