Judy organized a day tour for us in Beijing, as we have lived and worked here for a while, the trip was quite different from the usual way, we cycled 2 hours along the old town of the city, it was impressive to see the real local way of life, chatting with those neighborhoods in the hutongs, and we were also taken to some local spots to taste nice Beijing snacks, drinks and street food. Judy also knows the best street for shopping, the bargaining way and selection of goods made us feel like locals who knows all the tricks.
We will definitely recommend this tour to everyone In need.
