Great Wall Adventure - We really enjoyed A Great Day with Andy as our Guide with A Journey to Jinshanling Great Wall. It was a dream come true. Dinner, Simatai and night view Gubei Water town made it a very delightful day. Highly recommend.

Two sections of the Great Wall day and night without crowds - The excursion is appropriate if you are interested in seeing two different sections of the Great Wall and living the experience of walking through History day and night. Impressive if you plan to visit the Great Wall, at least, this time in your life. In both Jinshanling and Simatai we have been practically alone to enjoy the environment at our own pace. Our guide, Andy, and driver, Zhen, excellent. We have had great local food in Xiao Hua. Top of the list: spicy pork and garlic sprouts. Gubei water town, a pleasant walk.

Such a special way to see the Great Wall! - This tour was truly magical! We were hesitant to book because of the price, but it was absolutely worth the money. We got to see a part of the Great Wall that very few people were at. There was no other people in our pictures and we truly got to soak it all in. After spending a couple hours here during the day, we got lunch. Dinner was a standout meal for us! Pork belly, kung pao chicken, cabbage, SO good! We were pleasantly surprised. We headed to the water town after eating and got to sit and enjoy the sunset behind the Great Wall. It was beautiful, breathtaking! I felt like I got the full experience of seeing a Wonder of the World by spending time hiking during the day and sitting to enjoy at night. The water town was also very cute and Anson even found us an ice cream cone where we got to try hawthorn ice cream! So good! The private driver was also so great - as someone who is prone to car sickness we were grateful for a smooth ride. I absolutely recommend this! Splurge to get the full experience of the Great Wall! And request Anson if you can - he was super friendly, informative, kind, willing, and took some great pictures!

Avoid Crowds with This Tour - If you are looking to see the Great Wall this is a tour to consider. Yes, the drive is a little longer than some of the more popular sections of the wall, but the trade-off is a lightly visited section that is great to explore. Popular spots - Crowded and 1-2 hour queues. This spot, no queue and hardly no visitors. Also, our guide, I believe Sharon was her name, was such a nice and kind person. She was knowledgeable about what we were seeing, had a passion for teaching us, and was a joy to be with for the day.

Jinshanling / Simatai Great Wall & Gubei Water Town - We had a magical day visiting the Jinshanling Great Wall by day and Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town by night. Our fabulous guide, Kevin was very friendly, engaging, helpful and had many interesting and humorous stories to share! The meal we had at a local farmer’s restaurant recommended by Kevin was delicious. We cannot recommend this tour more highly to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Great Wall without the crowds and the special charm of the Great Wall and Gubei Water Town by lantern light. Be sure to ask for Kevin when you book this tour! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Kevin for a wonderful experience!

Amazing day - Jay was fantastic. Smooth pick up at our hotel and we went straight to the Great Wall with great stories and information along the way. Jay know all the spots to go to for great views and great photos. We went from there to dinner, which was also wonderful. Then onto the Watertown, a cable car to see the sunset over the wall the onto a light show using drones. Tour lasted 10 hours from pick up to drop off and it was an amazing day.

Great tour! There is a... - Great tour! There is a bit of walking involved for these parts of the wall. However, the views and the fact that it was significantly less crowded was worth it.
