Our tour guide May was such a sweetheart. Unfortunately due to Chinese New Year holidays some of the restaurants in our itinerary were closed. But she took us to another restaurants. We tried so much food and everything was very delicious. Thank you May. 🫶

Awesome Food Tour

Kirsten_S, Feb 2026

May took us on our food tour and we had the best time. Communication about where and when to meet was clear and timely and May was quick to respond to messages. We had an array of dishes some of which included: temple snacks, dumplings and noodles. May shared insight into the different dishes and answered all the questions we had. It was a wonderful evening.

Yummy

James was a wonderful...

James was a wonderful guide! He not only made sure we were comfortable at every stop, but he added some history about the area as we walked from place to place. All of the food was local Beijing cuisine. There was so much food!!! So make sure that you come hungry!

Local highlights

My guide Justin knew the local spots that were better than all the online research I did. We had thoughtful conversation and attended to my every need!

Justin was an awesome host taking me to a wide assortment of delicious local favorites. His knowledge of regional cuisine was excellent and enhanced the experience. I had a wonderful time and ate way too much!

Tons of Food

Tracy_R, Oct 2019

This was a great tour. My guide Nico was very friendly and helpful. He showed me around a neighborhood in Beijing, and let me try everything I wanted to try. It was a ton of food. He also took pictures and sent them to me, answered any questions I had, and helped me with directions to return to the airport.

Great guide and great experience!
