Tried a variety of different local specialities. Not a single one i would not eat again. We liked all of them.

Much more than just food - Wow! Walk of wonder. Kevin is incredible. He taught me how to count, and explained many words and correct pronunciations, and tailor d the food we ate to my preferences. I very highly recommend this tour and specifically, Kevin as a guide.

Tasty tour with great conversation - Our family of 3 including a teenager had a fun evening tasting lots of different foods. Miko was an excellent guide - fun and chatty and provided us with a crash course in what Beijing had to offer by way of street food.
Pace yourself because there is so much to try!

This tour was one of our... - This tour was one of our favourite tours during our time in Beijing - we all agreed that it is such a great way to explore a new culture. Of course you get to try lots of new foods, however Lucy was great at sharing so much more information about the history and way of life in China.

Amazing experience - Lucy was a really good guide.
She was waiting in the hotel and afterwards we took the subway to Dongsi station.
In the old Hutongs we started the food tour.
We had over 6 stops.
I learned so many things from Lucy and tasted food which is rather unique in the world.
Overall a remarkable experience.
I can only recommend the tour.
