5.00Absolutely amazing experience! We were lucky to have just the two of us with the guide, Adam, for our last minute booking, so it felt special. The tour was the perfect mix of delicious local dishes, cultural insight, and fun storytelling. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to authentic spots we’d never have found on our own. Every stop was unique — from sizzling street snacks to hidden family-run restaurants. A must-do for anyone wanting to taste the real Beijing!

5.00We did a private food tour in Hutong Food tour in Beijing. Our Guide was super nice and took us to restaurants we would have not found on our own or where we would have hesitated to enter because of the language barrier. Beside that our guide spend over 4h time with us and explained everything we asked, the amount of food and drinks was very good! Over all a good and very worthwhile!!! We do recommend the tour!

5.00We went to Hu Tong with Justin and what a great evening we had! We went to VERY local stalls and restaurants and had the most delicious food and drinks. My favourite is the beef noodle soup with sour plum juice. Wow what a taste for the senses! Please come hungry as we could not finish our food! It’s all so delicious :) Justin is kind, engaging and full of awesome stories about Beijing and China as a whole. Would recommend taking this tour to start your Beijing journey and get yourself familiar with the area :)
Thank you Iris!
