5.00We did the Old Beijing Dinner Tour on our first night in Beijing and it was a great introduction! Eric was our guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only giving use information about what we were eating, but also about the different areas we went to, and about living in Beijing. We tried all different types of food and it was very well paced so you didn't feel super full at the end even though we had eaten a lot! We also went to restaurants we would never have found (or been brave enough to try) on our own. I would definitely recommend Eric and this tour - from the experience we had it was definitely worth the money.
Great night, great food, great location great host Eric from Canada.

5.00We had an amazing time on the UnTour Beijing food tour! Our guide, Jesus, was fantastic—his deep knowledge of the history behind the neighborhoods we explored made the experience even more meaningful. I especially loved learning about the different dishes we tried along the way. My husband and I enjoyed it so much that we even returned to a few of the restaurants later in our trip. Thank you for such a memorable and wonderful experience!
