Andy was a great guide and the food was delicious. I probably would not have tried most of the food we ate were it not for this tour.

Great experience. Our guide Flower was really fantastic and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and there was unlimited beer and soft drinks, which was refreshing in July heat. It was great to meet other foreigners in Beijing.

Very well-selected restaurants which allowed us to sample various dishes (all delicious). We would have never explored the area and nor would we have been adventurous enough to order anything in any of the restaurants. The ride on the tuk tuk was fun and presented us with a direct view of the hutongs. The tour guide, Cherry, was attentive and met all our needs. We took our six-year-old twin boys and they enjoyed it, too.
