A stroll through Beijing’s Hutongs are recommended to every visitor to the capital, but locals know that “there are as many hutongs as there are hairs on an ox” around the city. The best way to get to know the most scenic twisting backstreets that locals call home is by eating your way through them, especially at the pop-up breakfast stalls that disappear after the morning rush hour. On this tour, you’ll meet your bilingual guide and small group at a convenient location, then head out to try traditional morning dishes side-by-side with the locals who love them.

  • Hutong Tour, Beijing, China
    Heard about Beijing’s hutong alleyways, but not sure what to do or where to go? Join us for breakfast as we sample the most authentic and delicious snacks that are hiding in plain sight, once you get off the crowded roads and into the backstreets.
    120 minutes
  • Temple of Confucius and Guozijian Museum, Beijing, China
    After we cross from Lama Temple, we'll see large Chinese gate not unlike those you find in Chinatowns around the world. We will follow the leafy hutong and pass both the Temple of Confucius and the Imperial Academy. This street was particularly important in China’s history not only because it was one of the main centers of Confucian thought (at a time when Confucian philosophy was China’s dominant ideology), but also because of the Imperial Academy next door. Any person who aspired to attain a government position anywhere in China was required to pass the Imperial Examination, which was held in the Imperial Academy.
    30 minutes
  • Bell and Drum Towers, Beijing, China
    We'll end just a stone's throw from the famous Bell & Drum Towers. These were originally used to mark the hours of the day and are great places to get your bearings in Beijing as they are on the central axis of the city. When you’re at the top of the Drum Tower, you will be able to look south and see the temple at the top of Jingshan Park.

We visited Beijing in July 2019 (sorry for the late review!) Our tour guide Julia was very informative and was able to answer all of our, and our 7 year old daughters questions about the food and areas we walked through. We enjoyed so many of the different food options it's hard to choose a favourite, but what made the the experience was eating in the restaurants and little pop-ups in the back streets where the locals usually eat. I particularly loved walking through the Hutongs and seeing streets and alleys you probably wouldn't normally walk down if you were just visiting a city. I felt we saw the real side of Beijing and not just the popular sights! My family and I highly recommend this tour!!

So glad I joined the small group tour, exploring hutongs and little food outlets I would never have come across otherwise. Kelly, our fantastic guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the food, it’s origins and it’s place in Chinese society. A great way to learn more about Chinese history whilst enjoying sumptuous snacks!

I am a repeat customer of Untour. Always delighted. The food tours are one of the best ways to learn about China. This tour takes you through the ancient hutong courtyards to sample the diverse array of breakfast foods. The guides are knowledgeable and share the history as well as their personal knowledge. Expect to try some dishes that you would never find on your own. I have ordered some of the dishes for breakfast during the remainder of my stay in China. Meander through the courtyards to discover hidden local restaurants and watch the Beijingers begin their day. Learn about the history of the Hutongs and the dishes. There is a bit of walking at a leisurely pace with sit-down venues along the way. The guides are Chinese or expats who have lived in Beijing for a decade. Their knowledge adds to the delightful experience. It is one of the reasons that I am a repeat customer. Great for teenagers too. My 13 year old daughter loves these tours. They are by far the highlight of her experience in China. This is a MUST DO event!
