Amazing (private) tour with the best hot stops while driving! - John was hands down the best tourguide I could have wanted in Beijing. I had a 20 hour stopover and we did such a nice route with great sightseeings and information about Beijing. It was an amazing experience and thanks again for the gifts and the ride! ✌️

A great way to see Beijing - This was a great way to see Beijing from a different perspective. John arrived early to my hotel. Straightaway, he gave me a bottle of water. We were able to see parts of the city that you cannot access by car and get through the traffic quickly. John was knowledgeable and able to give a running commentary over the helmet intercom. We even stopped for him tobbe able to give me cake and a cold beer in front of the Beijing football stadium. The bike was superb and obviously kept in great condition. I would strongly recommend this tour.

Great way to see different parts of the city - First of all, John was very punctual in picking me up from my hotel, and at the end of the tour very flexible in where I wanted to be dropped off. It was really nice to see the Hutong area and the CBD from a motorcycle side car, while John told some stories and explained about local sites. Tours for the main attractions in Beijing are easy to find but this one takes you to lesser known sights plus in the hot June weather it was nice to feel the breeze! Definitely worth it.

An unforgettable ride in Beijing - Sidecar tour is such a unique way to explore Beijing! Riding through narrow hutongs and along the wide avenues at financial district, we had the perfect vantage point to soak in the sights and sounds of the city. Our driver guide John is a knowledgeable and friendly local, provided fascinating insights into the city's history and culture. The sidecar itself was comfortable and well-maintained, ensuring a smooth and safe journey. One of the tour’s highlights was a stop at great wall, where we sampled delicious Beijing snacks and drinks. This added a personal touch, making the experience more than just a typical sightseeing tour. Overall, highly recommended!

Best way to start your stay in Beijing - I highly recommend Beijing sidecar tour on your first day visiting Beijing. John was waiting for us at it hotel and we had a fantastic 2 hours with him exploring the city. This is a great way to get your bearings straight and to understand the city layout. It gave us an appreciation on how big Beijing actually is. You can tailor the tour to the sites you would like to see. We told John to take us wherever he would like. John started by taking us through the financial district, see all the new buildings and of course the CCTV headquarters building. It was neat to see "new Beijing" then we made our way to the ancient city. Driving through the Hutongs was a lot of fun! We spend time at the Bell and Drum towers, which was amazing to see. John then took us to a beautiful park and lake where we had drinks and a Beijing treat! We ended our tour going to the old city wall. John was a safe driver and the ride was comfortable. It was the best time and I highly recommend the tour!! I hope to be back!
