Hidden Gems In The Hutongs

Mark_S, May 2026

We had a great trip. Cycling through the Hutongs and streets of Beijing was so much fun. Our guide Sheryl was great and so much fun. We ate many cool snacks, learned about life in Hutongs and she showed us many hidden gems. Bikes were comfortable and easy to use.

Excellent opportunity to see a more lived in side of Beijing. We loved cycling through the hutongs with Cara - she made it a fun and interesting experience!

A must do experience!

A must when you come to Beijing. Dominic is a fantastic sociable guy who is bi - lingual and really knows the area and so many interesting facts. We would never have found the places or sampled the local food without Dominic and the tour. Great bikes and communication from beginning to end. Felt very safe. Great fun - highly recommend. Thank you.

Cycle Tour Through the Hutongs

Kirsten_S, Feb 2026

We had a wonderful time on our bike tour with Cara. She showed us many of the defining characteristics of the hutongs, explained the history of the area and answered all the questions we had. Communication about where and when to meet was clear and sent a few days before our tour and the company were very responsive to WhatsApp messages. Cara made sure that we were safe while riding and made sure that we did not get lost when riding through crowds. It was a wonderful morning exploring the area and I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of doing it.

Very safe and smooth ride...

Highlight of our trip to Beijing

Donna_G, Apr 2024

Dominic was the highlight of our trip. He is a very kind and interesting guide. The e bikes were in perfect condition and he was very thorough in making sure you were safe to drive the bikes. Felt very much like a local. We went through the narrow alleys of the Hutong and saw inside the homes. Dominic took us to local markets, parks and let us try many local food items. Would highly recommend this tour!! The best one we did in China.
