Pleasant and great memorable tour! - We had a great time visiting Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town. We highly recommend this tour. We were really impressed with it. Our tour guide, Mr.Jason, was excellent and professional. He made our trip so splendid, and enjoyable. The tour began in the morning. Mr.Jason and the driver came to pick us up at the hotel. It took around 2 hours from Beijing to Simatai Great Wall, however the journey didn’t seem that far as we thought since Mr.Jason had entertained us with his excellent English. He told us all about the history of China. We also discussed about the people, economy, technology and etc. of China. Therefore, this made the 2 hours distance seemed so short for us. Moreover, the van was very comfortable, spacious, and super clean. It fitted our family of three people perfectly. The driver drove very smoothly. They also prepared the drinks for us in the van too. Once we arrived at Gubei Water Town, Mr.Jason actively guided us into the ancient old town. Since we went there in Autumn, late October, the weather was very nice. The trees were turning into yellow and red colors which made the water town really gorgeous. Mr.Jason was very kind offered taking a family photo for us. We were so happy that we had great family photos from this trip. He guided us around in the Gubei Water town. We had plenty of time to see Chinese craft, jade, silk and etc. He explained all the good stuffs along while we were visiting each store. We also try some dessert there, Tung Hu Lu, which made from Chinese fruit name “Sun-Jah”(Hawthorn) covered with the sticky sugar. And we had a chance to see Sun-Jah tree around the water town too. The Gubei water town was newly built with some old stone and structures from the past as Mr. Jason told us this information along the path we walked. After we had explored around the Water Town it was the time for the highlight of this tour! The time to see The Simatai Great Wall. Mr.Jason guided us to the Cable car to go up to the Great Wall. The view from the cable car was stunning. We were impressed with this panoramic view. The mountains were gigantic with the Great Wall above it. This scene were a great memory of this trip. Along the way up, Mr. Jason told us the myth and the history of the Great Wall. My son was impressed with it. Once the cable car took us up there, we needed to walk around 800 meters up to the Great Wall. The route was a bit steep. We needed to walk carefully. Personally. I think this route is not recommended for the old people with low mobility. But for younger people and healthy people it is highly recommended. It is adventurous and fun climbing up there. Once we arrived there, the view on the Great Wall was spectacular. Can’t explain how gorgeous it was. We were so glad that once in a lifetime we come to visit the Great Wall of China. It was so amazing to see and it hard to believe how the people could build such a gigantic wall like this in the past. We were really amazed. We had time to take photos there. Again Mr.Jason offered to take plenty of photos for us and he also explained deep history about the Great Wall of China. After we came down from the Great Wall, Mr.Jason took us out of the Gubei Water Town. The driver came to take us for late lunch-dinner. The restaurant was near Gubei Water town. It was like a farm to table restaurant, which we really liked it. The foods were very delicious and organic. We had chance to eat fresh vegetables directly from farms and homemade tofu. It was genuinely delicious. After that we headed back to Beijing. The driver still made a smoothly drive all the way back. We finally reached back to hotel safely. We said goodbye and thanked Mr.Jason and the driver for making this trip so much pleasant. It was one of the best memorable trips of our family. We really recommend this tour from Discover Beijing tour. They provide such a professional guide like Mr.Jason, excellent vehicle, and delicious food. Sutheera K. and family

The experience was very... - The experience was very nice and the guide and the driver were professional and kind. The Great Wall at Simatai was very impressive.

Excellent tour guide for the wonders of the world - Most memorable part was being able to go onto the least known part of the Great Wall. We were lucky that there were no one around and our guide, Lucy , was excellent in giving us information about Gubei and the history of China. Very friendly and informative.

Gubei Water Town & Simatai Great Wall - Love it! - Gubei water town is beautiful and fascinating. Probably need more than a day to explore the place. The climb up the Simatai Great Wall was really the climax of our trip. The view from the top of the Wall tower was breathtaking. Susan is a very experienced and professional tour guide. She provided very useful information and guidance throughout the tour. My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our driver King also did a very good job to provide us with a smooth, safe and comfortable ride to the destination and back to our hotel.

Great Wall tour - One of my dreams was to see the Great Wall of China. My dreams came true plus more! Our tour guide jimmy felt like someone we knew for years! The lunch was very good. (More typical American Chinese food which was pleasant after guessing food for so many days) Every view was so beautiful. The water town is very beautiful and peaceful to just be in. The Wall was beautiful at night and absolutely breathtaking. The price of this tour made us wonder but after having the tour I came to find it was actually pretty cheap! Certainly worth the money! Thank you jimmy for everything !!
