5.00We loved every minute of our Beijing adventure with Go2 China! Fiona’s warmth and attention to detail made all the difference. The food tour was delicious — from handmade dumplings and traditional snacks to mouthwatering roast duck and tanghulu. Go2 China also arranged our Great Wall visit flawlessly. It’s rare to find a company that’s both professional and personal — this was both.

5.00If you’re visiting Beijing, book a food tour with Go2 China — you won’t regret it. JJ was amazing, full of local knowledge and positive energy. The food was authentic and delicious: dumplings bursting with flavor, sweet tanghulu, and the most tender roast duck. We also learned so much about hutong culture and local dining customs. Go2 China made the whole experience easy, enjoyable, and memorable.

5.00Go2 China made our Beijing trip unforgettable. JJ went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. Every meal felt like a celebration — tender dumplings, flavorful noodles, crispy duck, and those adorable candied hawthorns! JJ shared so much about Chinese traditions, and her passion was infectious. Go2’s service was top-notch, from communication to follow-up. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a genuine taste of Beijing!

5.00Go2 China planned our trip beautifully — everything was organized down to the last detail. JJ was such a warm and knowledgeable guide, always attentive and kind. The food tour was beyond expectations: delicious hotpot, traditional snacks, and the most perfect roast duck I’ve ever had. I’ll never forget tasting tanghulu for the first time — sweet, crunchy, and so fun! Thanks to Go2 China, we saw a side of Beijing we wouldn’t have found on our own.

5.00Our Beijing experience with Go2 China was absolutely amazing! Fiona made everything so smooth and enjoyable. From the very beginning, communication was easy and every detail was perfectly organized. The food tour was our favorite part — handmade dumplings, rich zhajiangmian, crispy Beijing roast duck, and even tanghulu (candied hawthorn) on the street! Fiona shared the stories behind each dish, making every bite even more meaningful. We left full, happy, and deeply impressed by Beijing’s food culture.

5.00JJ was such a gem, too. She’s patient when we wanted to snap 10 photos of a dumpling plate, hilarious with her stories about local food traditions, and has endless knowledge about the history behind every dish—like why that tiny noodle shop has been around for 50 years. She never rushed us, even let us chat with a chef for a few minutes, and made sure we left every stop full and grinning. If you’re craving a food tour that’s fun, authentic, and actually gives you a taste of the city (not just tourist traps), I can’t recommend booking through GO2 Travel enough. This wasn’t just a tour—it was a delicious, joyful dive into the culture, all thanks to GO2 and JJ. 10/10 would book again!

5.00The tour was brilliant Jenny tailored it to my dietary preferences and offered her choices and recommendations throughout the tour. Her recommendations were guided purely by how good the food is a true foodie!! Each dish was delicious and Jenny's insight into Beijing culture was brilliant. I learnt so much that felt had been in Beijing for weeks even though was only on my first day!! had such a wonderful time, and l'd say this tour is the one must-do tour if you're in the city. It captured the essence of Beijing. Getting to know the local culture with a local through food - it doesn't get better than that.

5.00I was met promptly by my host, Jenny. It had been raining heavily throughout the day, but right on cue the rain stopped, as if it knew we were about to embark on a street food tour. Jenny had planned our route perfectly, with each dish complimenting the previous dish, and the restaurants being truly authentic Chinese. She offered the choice of the food to be fairly simple, moderate, or challenging - I chose moderate, and was not disappointed. Each dish was delicious, and I tried some foods I had seen before but had been too nervous to order, on the basis that if I didn’t like it, I didn’t have to finish it. However, I finished every dish completely, even though I was full to bursting 😅 Jenny even sent me away with a ‘doggy bag’ to finish later in my hotel, plus a presentation box of mooncakes and some special Chinese tea. It was a very enjoyable evening which I would heartily recommend !
