Outstanding Limo Service to Simatai - We were picked up at our hotel by Mr Liu, our driver, in a clean Mercedes C-Class. Mr Liu was a safe driver, courteous, and made the 2 hour journey a pleasant one. He was also focused on ensuring that we have a good time; when we asked him what time should we return to the car, he said there isn’t a time limit, key is for us to enjoy ourselves. Outstanding service from Linda’s, highly recommended!

Private evening trip to Gubei Watertown and Simatai Great Wall - My driver Mr Liu was always on time and drove safely. He also helped with the ticket purchase, and did not set a time limit for us to enjoy the sights, where he said that the key is for us to enjoy the trip. Very good service!

Super day trip - The tour is great if you have little time like us. Our driver could not speak English, but that was no problem at all, as it works great with the translator in China. He was very personable, did his best and drove very pleasantly. Regarding the wall, we thought at first that we could walk from Gubai to the wall, but there would never have been enough time for that. From the city to the mountain it is a few kilometers. The cable car costs 54€ for two people. Entrance Wall and Gubai 45€. Next time, we'll schedule more time on site.

Very good day - The Simatai section of the Great Wall was challenging and fun, even in the rain. The Gubel water town was modern and interesting. The Water Town did not seem to really come to life until the afternoon. The driver did not speak English, but effectively communicated with a translation app. He purchased Asian pears and moon cakes to enhance our exposure to local products on the trip there and back. He was as good as most guides/drivers who spoke English. It was a very good day.

Convenient and accommodating - Our family of 5 had a wonderful experience from start to finish. It was very easy to communicate regarding the pickup time and place. Our guide was also kind to let us spend an extra hour in Gubei Water Town.
