Fascinating Off the Beaten Path with a Knowledgeable Guide - Hao was an excellent guide. Despite the cold weather, Hao kept us moving and provided so much information and insight during our time with her. We would highly recommend Hao and the tour to anyone interested in knowing more about the off the beaten path parts of Beijing.

Highly recommended!!! - I highly recommend to go on a tour with Bejing free Walking Tour. We had the best time, learned and saw so much what we haven’t if we just had did a Tour on our own. It was so inspiring and fun. I wish I will come back on day and meet the lovely lady’s again!

The best tour in Beijing! Loved it - The best tour in Beijing! The guide was super patient, kind, and knowledgeable, sharing many fascinating stories that brought the city's history and culture to life. The tour took us to explore hidden gems in the Hutongs (alleys) that you’d never find on your own - it felt like uncovering a secret side of the city! There was even a small art workshop where we got to try Chinese calligraphy ourselves. A perfect blend of history, culture, and real-life stories, highly recommended!
