Great visit to Drum Tower and Hutongs

JuliaG, Mar 2025
Lovely time spent with our guide Susie. We visited the Drum Tower and saw the Bell Tower. We also walked round the lakes and went in a rickshaw through the Hutongs. Susie also assisted us to order food. Susie was a great guide - very knowledgeable and alot of fun. She really made the trip for us! Just to note the advertised itinerary shows a visit to a local family. This did not happen as apparently it was changed since covid but the itinerary does not reflect this.

Great tour:)

This tour was interesting and our guide Lucy was very knowledgeable and fun. We visited a local family during our tour of the Hutong and saw how they lived. The drum performance was not on due to a conference but we still went up the Drum Tower via the very steep stairs and learnt about the history of the tower & drums.
