Gubei, Winter.

Published on Dec, 2024

Gubei was a beautiful town. Whole family enjoyed the trip. Very cold this time of year though. Jack was our driver; his helpfulness and positive attitude made our trip even better.

Great experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

We signed up for our 2nd day trip with Leo's tour agency, and Andrew was assigned to send us to Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall. Andrew was friendly with an easygoing personality. He was punctual, and the car was in excellent condition. The 2-hour ride to Gubei was smooth and pleasant. Andrew answered our questions on Gubei and Simatai patiently and guided us to the ticketing counter and then to the entrance of Gubei. Gubei Water Town was as Andrew described, with many little shops, eateries, and olden days architecture. We had a nice walk around before taking the cableway to the entrance of Simatai Great Wall. The surrounding view from the Great Wall was simply breathtaking! We took many memorable pictures. We had dumplings for lunch at Gubei before meeting up with Andrew for our journey back to the hotel. Many thanks to Leo and Andrew for making the trip a once in a lifetime experience. So glad we signed up with you.

Gubei Water Town Experience

Published on Jun, 2024

My driver Ken from Leo’s private tour was wonderful and helped provide us with an unforgettable experience at Gubei water town. He was very flexible and allowed us to extend our journey to ensure we received more time at Gubei water town and provided my partner with soothing balm for mosquito bites he received during the day. Ken was also very knowledgeable about Beijing and provided us with many recommendations for the rest of our stay. Gubei water town and Simatai Great Wall were absolutely breathtaking and worth the 2hr drive out of central Beijing. There are many delicious street food stalls, interesting cultural performances and souvenir stalls. It is also not very crowded, making for a peaceful experience. We had an amazing time. Thank you Ken and Leo.

Superb Day Trip from Beijing

Published on Apr, 2024

We went on this day trip tour. Our guide Peter was prompt in picking us up from the hotel. His service was impeccable and he was polite, patient and very communicative. The tour is highly recommended especially for the Simatai great wall climb.

Good day trip and guide

Published on Mar, 2024

Great day trip from Beijing to cover the Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town, and the driver Peter Wu was very helpful and accommodating. One thing to note (which wasn't clear at the time I booked) is that entry fees aren't included in the price, so budget an additional CNY 300 per person
