Top Beijing Lunch Cruises

Eat your way around Beijing’s old "hutong" alleyways and courtyards on a small-group tour. Enjoy several food stops at tucked-away restaurants and homes you wouldn’t find by yourself. Sample staples such as Beijing hotpot, noodles, beef buns, and spring pancakes. Learn about local cuisine over unlimited beers and soda, and enjoy a stop at a local brewery, with a pint of craft beer included. Make sure to bring your appetite.

Getting to and from the Great Wall of China on your own can be difficult. Simplify your day and explore the Great Wall independently with private transportation and hotel pickup from Beijing. Enjoy ample time to walk the Mutianyu section, with admission and a shuttle bus ride included. Afterwards, your English-speaking driver will take you back to your hotel.

Skip the expense of private transfers and the stress of negotiating public transit and enjoy a comfortable visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Get a first-hand peek at parapets and watchtowers set into a rugged landscape—without any time-wasting shopping stops. Tours include return bus fares, entry fees, and shuttle bus but exclude cable car or toboggan tickets; upgrade for a buffet lunch, guided trek, or the Summer Palace.
