Super tour! Good impression of the original Beijing. - The tour was very, very good! I can only recommend them. Felix, our guide, speaks very good German. He took us through different places with different foods to try. It tasted very good. The walk through Huton gave a good impression of old Beijing. Felix talked a lot about life there and also the changes from past to present.

Excellent food tour of the food of Beijing - I took my second food tour with Justin Wan yesterday and it was fantastic, plus I made a few new friends, my tour mates. The tour was great and we were able to try many Beijing foods in the hutongs of Beijing. Justin was personable and welcoming and really knowledgable about the local food and eateries. We tried a variety of foods from filled buns to soups and noodles to even coriander fried chicken, local mandarins and Beijing yogurt drink. This is definately a tour you should be taking of Beijing. I highly reccommend it.
