Fantastic day with Chen! Chen was very helpful throughout, and did his best to make me comfortable and at ease - the trip was amazing, and I would definitely love to go again. Big thanks to Chen - great service, great experience, and would highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at the Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall. We were there during the holiday in May and still had so much fun and did everything we wanted to do. Our driver, Chen, and guide, Andy, were excellent hosts and kept us safe and entertained for the drive from Beijing and during our time at the town and wall. They were very informative and shared so much local history with us- it really made the trip! We would highly recommend using them for trips to Gubei Water Town and any other tours they offer.
