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.

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.

Driver arrived on time in a new vehicle to take us smoothly and safely to Gubei. Town was amazing and worth seeing. The Great Wall when lit up at night was a special sight and well

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.

Nice Great Wall Day and Night Experience
Great experience! We visited Mutianyu Great Wall in day view and Simatai Great Wall in night view. Night view at Gu Bei water town very nice. Good weather and not so crowded as it is first day of snowing. The eatery they brought us to served nice food. The tour guide was also very informative and helpful. The 6 seater mpv are comfortable. We enjoy the trip :)

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.
