A walk, good for the soul and stomach. - It was a fantastic evening walk around the Hutongs in north Beijing. The guide, James, was very knowledgeable of the area and he showed and explained to us the many sights within the Hutongs. The food from the various shops we visited was tasty and sumptuous. The local beer was also good. Although not in the itinerary, he accompanied us back to the hotel. Thanks, James.

Private evening layover tour - We had a 10h evening layover in Beijing, so I booked a private tour. Our guide Peter and drive mr Fu made sure we had a wonderful time. Peter was very open and flexible to our wishes. No hidden commercial activities or shopping, just 100% dedicated to showing us the best parts of Beijing, including an amazing Peking Duck dinner and a tryly local restaurant. Highly recommended.

So much fun with Justin in the hutongs! - We are a family of us from Singapore. We have 2 children aged 10 and 13. Justin Wan took care of us and we had such an incredible time with him. He is very calm and patient and takes time to answer our questions. He is passionate about what he does and made this evening in Beijing very very special.

Great local experience - We went on the food/beer tour in the Hutongs. Jason was a pleasant guide and told a lot of Beijing and China in general. The most unique of this tour is that you eat in places you would never find by yourself. It’s more a food than beer tour (all beers are just the same local beers you get everywhere) but definitely recommended.

Solo Traveler Tour - Justin was absolutely amazing. Great depth of knowledge and conversation about the food, China's geography and cultural history. He is consistently introducing you to different food types and providing insight about areas you're walking through. Highly recommend booking this.

Great food tour - We had a great experience and our guide, Justin, was very friendly and informative. He looked after us very well and showed us both the old hutong, with delicious food stops, as well as the more modern bar street. It was a great way to see Beijing at night

Beijing food and culture tour - Justin was wonderful. Fluent English speaker and knowledgeable. It was more than just a food tour. I thought of it as a cultural experience. We tried so many yummy dishes my favorite was pork bbq in lettuce wrap.
