A great vacation begins with a great tour guide. Hello, I am Sonia - your reliable local guide in Beijing. Originally, I became a tour guide because I love traveling, hiking and exploring. Along the way, I found that I really enjoy sharing insights and stories with people. From my own travels, I truly believe that a great guide—someone who loves their city and cares about their visitors—can make a trip so much more special and memorable. A happy vacation is not just about the destination, but also the people you meet along the way. I can be your travel planner, consultant, and personal guide. I am confident that I can help you have a great time during your stay in Beijing! My services include: 1. Great Wall Tours: I offer a variety of Great Wall experiences—walking, hiking, and trekking. The Great Wall around Beijing stretches about 600 kilometers, and I've personally explored about 400 kilometers of it.

Excellent choice! A one-day private tour combining Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Great Wall is one of the most popular and rewarding excursions from Beijing. It offers a perfect blend of ancient history, stunning scenery, and cultural immersion. The two sites are right next to each other in Miyun District. A private tour maximizes your time. Simatai Great Wall offers a thrilling hike along its steep, narrow ridges and distinctive watchtowers. You can enjoy panoramic mountain scenery in a less crowded setting, perfect for memorable photos. The section retains its original rugged character, giving you a raw and authentic Great Wall experience. Nestled at the foot of the Great Wall, Gubei Water Town is a charming getaway with stone bridges, flowing canals, and traditional courtyard houses. Come and join me! As both a seasoned Great Wall hiker and a Beijing local guide, I'd love to show you these two wonders in a single day.

Drive to Simatai Great Wall (2-2.5 hours): Along the way, you'll be treated to beautiful views of the Beijing countryside. 3. Visit Simatai Great Wall (2 hours) Here are two distinct ways to experience the Simatai Great Wall: 1) Cable Car Round Trip: Opt for the cable car for a relaxed and efficient visit. 2) Full Hiking Experience: Choose the full hike for the most authentic and rewarding physical challenge. 4. Lunch (Optional): I’ll recommend and take you to authentic local restaurants based on your tastes. 5. Gubei Water Town (2-3 hours) Stroll along its quaint lanes to discover local crafts, savor hearty northern cuisine, and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains. 6.
