Kevin was a great guide and he was also very funny. he shared lots of good stories about the hutong and the food we ate. We enjoyed his company very much. He is also very helpful to my elderly mother, keeping her pace during the walk around the hutong and asking her food preferences when ordering. We loved Kevin very much!
Fantastic sampling of many classic Chinese dishes!

Fantastic sampling of many classic Chinese dishes! Our guide, Miko, taught us about the history of Beijing and the proper way to eat each unique dish. Good vegetarian options! Hotel pickup was convenient. Great option for first timers in mainland China!
No contingency plan if any bikers can’t finish the tour

Due to not feeling well as a result to a GI virus, my family of 4 was recommended to do the night tour instead of the morning one that we had signed up for so that we could avoid the heat. We showed up to the tour not realizing that additional people were also signed up and that it was for 4 hours instead of 3 (as the tour title implies). After an exhilarating and hot 1.5 hours of riding around the streets of Shanghai, it no longer became safe for me to ride due to feeling like I was going to pass out. However, I was told by the guide to be strong and continue on for another 2.5hrs since there was no option to end early since others were on the tour. I continued on, but quickly began to feel faint and had to pull off on the side of the road. My family followed me while we tried to come up with a reasonable solution. In the meantime, our guide panicked while trying to figure out how to handle the situation which included a lot of yelling at me and my husband in front of our kids. We eventually came up with a solution to bring our bikes back to our hotel and then pay a truck 450rmb to deliver the bikes back to the company’s office. In the meantime, my 10-year-old daughter started to cry due to being scared that I was going to pass out and also get into a lot of trouble by this company for not finishing the tour. Seeing that this was our last night in China after a three week trip, it was a pretty traumatic experience to end on and I wish this company would have a contingency plan in place for these types of situations. In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have agreed to go on this tour to begin with; however, a reputable bike company would have a much more tactful way to handle the situation, including warning me not to join the tour from the start if they thought it would even possibly be an issue.
A MUST!!!
