We went to four different places and they were all really good! Winnie was a great guide and explained what each dish was and some history behind them. I would definitely recommend it.
Big portions. Unique foods.

There was only one other in my group (off peak season) although a third was a no show. The student guide was very sociable & had impeccable English. At each stop we had the context & background to the dishes explained & how to eat them. The portions were very large (for a European). Each venue had time for one beer (or soft drink). It was surprising to see folks smoking in one of the restaurants but I guess that’s part of the cultural experience. The good was never the less tastey. The tour ended on time & the guide ensured we got back into the subway station ok.
A Great Night!

This is such a cool experience! Honestly I’m not really into trying new and exotic foods so I was kind of nervous but on this tour I got to try some authentic Chinese cuisine and it was delicious! Not only that but the places they bring you are in locations you would never find on your own. Our tour guide Winnie did a FANTASTIC job of making sure everyone was comfortable, had what they needed, and gave us history of the places we were seeing and food we were eating. She spoke great English and was really funny! 5/5 experience!

Winnie was a fantastic guide. Amazing way to experience local food in Beijing as well as see some parts of the city you would normally not know about. Highly recommended.

I did the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, but if you want a true local experience, this tour is a must! You'd be very lucky to have Joyce as your guide, an incredibly joyful, passionate, and considerate person. Not only were the meals absolutely delicious, her deep knowledge of the neighbourhood, history, and culture enhanced the whole evening immensely. Also, I dare anyone to try and find these restaurants on their own - they all are true gems and a pleasant surprise to discover! It was my favourite memory of my short stay in Beijing, and I would definitely recommend anyone to experience it for themselves! They organise food tours in other larger cities too, which I'm looking forward to checking out in the future.
