Chinese people regard the Great Wall as a symbol of eternity because the Wall has been there for thousand years already (and expected to be there for much longer). Thus, when couples place a lock to the Wall, it means their love (as well as the lock) is bounded to stay there forever. During this all-inclusive private day tour, you will lock your eternally love on beautiful Simatai Great Wall by yourself with your significant others. In addition, you will visit beautiful Gubei Water Town and enjoy a fun cable car ride!

Highly recommend! Tour guide was amazing and made our trip special.
Our trip to the Great Wall was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide, Rita, was a real pleasure and made sure to make the day very special for me and my gf. We were, understandably, disappointed when we were told that due to the rain, we would not be able to put our love locks on the wall. But, Rita made sure that the day was memorable nonetheless and that we both had an amazing trip. We were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday that day. And, Rita and the company helped ensure that we had some birthday cake for the occasion. It isn't everyday that you can say that you were able to have birthday cake on the Great Wall of China. I can say without a doubt that she made my gf's birthday special.
Here are just a few important things that I would like to point out:
- She made sure to bring a very nice birthday cake for us
- She carried the cake up the wall for us so that we could eat it while we were up there
- She helped us take pictures on many occasions and we never felt hurried at all
- She offered great suggestions for photo opportunities
- She was insightful and informative so we felt as though we also had an educational experience
- She left us along during certain times to give us some space and room enough to wander and enjoy our time together
- She was helpful in helping us order food and in making recommendations
- She has great stories especially while we were at the Summer Palace
- She has a great grasp of the English language and we never felt as though it was hard to understand what she was saying
- She was patient with us and helped answer all of our questions
For these reasons and more, I highly recommend that anyone looking for a private and memorable tour of the Great Wall to consider this one.
