Our driver Wang Wenkuan...
Our driver Wang Wenkuan picked us up at 7 as was originally scheduled. Reached Jinshanling West gate around 10.15am. We walked the wall from West gate to East gate. He picked us up from the East gate. He was very patient. His Tesla was air-conditioned and quiet and comfortable to ride in. Although he didn't speak English, he had translating device to answer any questions we had. We would definitely rehire him if ever needed to book a car in there future.

We set off earlier than...
We set off earlier than scheduled on the advice of my driver, Dong Xuefei, and I'm very glad we did. The Wall itself and the scenary are spectacular, but it was also very quiet, which was perfect. Dong was a fantastic driver, gave me good advice on which trail to take, and was very pleasant to chat with. I highly recommend him and this experience!

What a day! The best of the wall, a village meal and the water Town! Everything included and time can be customized. Lots of history and lots of fun!

Great tour and guide (Jimmy)
Great tour. Well worth the extra travel to get away from the crowds. Tour guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable on all things China not just tour specific.

Best tour of the Great Wall!
This was such an unforgettable experience from our honeymoon. Our guide, Adele, was so professional and knowledgeable. She was able to guide us to the best spot to watch the sunset. Watching the sunset at the Great Wall with no one else around will be a core memory I will cherish forever. We cannot recommend this experience enough. Make sure you request Adele if you want the best possible tour of the Great Wall!

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with Dong Xufei. Everything was very well organized from pickup to drop-off, and the whole trip went smoothly.
He gave us a map, shared helpful tips for the route, and made sure we had all the information we needed for the visit. After the trip, he even provided us with snacks, which was a very thoughtful gesture.
He was a lovely, friendly driver, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable transfer. Thank you for making our trip so easy!

Sunset Heaven
The sunset walk on the Great Wall was nothing short of amazing. The return walk through Water Town was an unbelievable experience. My wife and I truly enjoyed the day. Milo our guide spoke excellent English and had years of experience. He went above and beyond to ensure we learned and enjoyed our time.

Greatest Great Wall Watertown
Amazing little trip! Our driver Ryan was safe, speedy, and polite. He gave us good travel advice and some excellent suggestions for eating dinner after the trip.
Gubei Wtown, as they call themselves in English, was absolutely delightful. As a resort styled after an ancient town, it was both convenient, charming, and peppered with cats and cat drawings. Included in that is a giant balloon of a drunken cat that fell asleep on a wall, pretty funny!
The Simatai Great Wall area was just awesome, in the most literal sense of the word. The cable car ride up is a great view, and once you reach the wall you feel like you’re at the top of the Earth. The sense of windswept peace and heavy history is a mood one must experience to appreciate.
Overall, fantastic, strong 5/5.

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.

Amazing trip to Jishangling Great Wall
We booked a full day tour to Jinshangling the remote section of the great Wall. It’s a 2.5 hr trip from Beijing and as well worth it as there are hardly any other tourists there and unlike other closer sections of the Wall, you feel like you have the wall to yourself. Our driver Jack was outstanding. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and very professional. The vehicle was very comfortable and, above all, we felt very safe with Jack’s driving.Highly recommended.

Safe driver, great day :D
Our driver, Zhen Lihui, arrived early to our hotel and picked us up as soon as we were done. He also took care of buying the tickets as described on Viator. He was a safe and friendly driver, messaging the day before and all throughout the tour day. He drove my family in a large air conditioned van. Could not ask for anything more from a driver.
We really enjoyed being able to walk around at our own pace without a guide. There are many restaurant options, but don't plan on souvenir shopping. We also recommend purchasing the additional ticket in person to ride the boat back after The Wall. Bring your hat and walking shoes.

Amazing day tour
This was a really amazing day tour. The two sections of the wall we visited were beautiful and a nice contrast to each other. Leo was our guide and he was very informative and kind and was patient when we needed breaks. He is an amateur photographer and took some incredible pictures of us in the perfect locations, which he shared with us the day after the tour.
