This is one of the best food tours we’ve ever done while travelling. So if you need to book a food tour, I highly recommend this one. We’ve experienced at least 6 different foods ( that I remember of :)) plus some drinks. The bonus is that we’ve also got a glimpse into Wilson’s life of how we moved from Australia and based his whole life in China. It’s truly a wholistic journey as you eat extremely well, understand more of the culture, you see how one can integrate here & taste some of the local Chinese drinks. Highly recommended it, 10/10, would definitely book it again when coming back! Thank you so much Wilson!
Great tour

We had an incredible food tour in Beijing with Gareth as our guide. His knowledge of both Beijing’s and China’s history and culture was impressive, and he added so much depth to our experience. The food was absolutely amazing, and each stop on the tour was unique, offering something new and authentic. It felt like we were uncovering hidden gems that you wouldn’t find in a guidebook or stumble upon on your own. The whole experience was intimate and personal, making it feel like a true discovery of Beijing’s culinary treasures. Highly recommended!
