We booked with May to see the evening tour of Simatai section of the Great Wall and the Water Town. We're very pleased with our choice as seeing the wall at dusk an amazing experience, and also avoided the daytime heat. May, together with our driver Joe, picked us up from our hotel, chatted and shared lots of info that made it a lovely experience. The Water Town was a great bonus, giving an insight into local history, and also providing a show and food options. A great experience and a fabulous way to see the Great Wall if you are staying in Beijing. Thank you May.
Great tour!

I had an amazing time at Gubei Water town. May was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. She answered all my questions, took really nice pictures and also taught me how to properly use chopsticks! Highly recommend to book a tour with her. You won’t regret it!
Night tour to Great Wall & Gubei Water town
Published on Jun, 2019
We organised this from home before we left and chose to have a private guide and dinner included. We were met promptly at our hotel by Lucy and her driver for our tour of the Great Wall at Simatai at night. During our 2 hour drive to Simatai Lucy shared information about her country, their lifestyle, and answered any questions we had. When we arrived at the water town, she organised all the tickets and showed us through the town and made stops at some special exhibits in the town before we headed up to the wall by cable car. It’s a bit of a walk to actually get to the wall from the cable car, but it is so worth it. It was getting on dusk and all the lights were starting to come on down in the town as well as on the wall. You don’t realise how big the town is until you see it from above. The wall was only open between 2 towers so you couldn’t walk very far, but that was ok as it was very steep and rugged and there are no side barriers so you need to be very careful. It wasn’t very crowded so you could take plenty of photos and our guide Lucy even took some photos of us together. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the moment. Once back down in the town, Lucy asked what sort of food we wanted for dinner and then sought out a number of restaurants and found a suitable place to eat. Lucy chose some meals for us and we enjoyed them immensely. On our way back to the driver she even stopped and bought us some Hawthorne fruits on a stick (Chinese sweet) which we would never have tried ourselves. It was a fantastic afternoon and evening. Thanks Lucy you made it very special. Would highly recommend this trip to see the wall lit up at night. Karen & Alex, Sydney
Amazing

Actually we went up to the wall before sunset which was a great decision as the steps are big & uneven. Fabulous views. Our guide Neil from Odynovo was terrific.
Terrific Tour

My husband and I have travelled to 33 countries during the last 10 years. We usually tour on our own but given the challenges of traveling in China, we decided to book the Viator tour of Gubei and the Great Wall. We were fortunate to get ShanShan as our guide. Her knowledge of Chinese history and culture that she shared with us on the car ride to Gubei, during dinner, and the tours was outstanding. We look forward to our next trip to China and will be sure to contact ShanShan again. We will also share our wonderful experiences with her with family and friends.
