Great Northern China Food Tour!

5.00Adam was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable about China’s history and economy and could crack jokes along the way. My wife and I arrived early and Adam was there ready to go. Whisked us off to delicious dumplings and then treated us to Mongolian noodles (which I can still taste in my dreams) and got us to try Mongolian beer, then a Muslim spot with lamb skewers barbecue and then the famous doornail buns with a Beijing beer. Loved getting to try all the different food styles, each one different and so significant in the history. Beyond the food - learning about the Hutong architecture, styles and how the front doors were statements to the public about status, title, and job. Couldn’t recommend this more! Definitely book with 3+people otherwise you may not have enough stomach to eat all the food!
Great experiences with Beijing Food

5.00May 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

5.00Lots of authentic good food. Go with an empty stomach. Justin brought us to a local place where there are few people and lots of different kinds of food to eat. Justin also shared local Beijing food culture with us. Recommended!
Great experience!

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!
