Excellent tour! Small, local restaurants where the locals eat, with perfect explanations - We did a private food tour in Hutong Food tour in Beijing. Our Guide was super nice and took us to restaurants we would have not found on our own or where we would have hesitated to enter because of the language barrier. Beside that our guide spend over 4h time with us and explained everything we asked, the amount of food and drinks was very good! Over all a good and very worthwhile!!! We do recommend the tour!

Delicious Authentic Food Tour around HuTong - We went to Hu Tong with Justin and what a great evening we had! We went to VERY local stalls and restaurants and had the most delicious food and drinks. My favourite is the beef noodle soup with sour plum juice. Wow what a taste for the senses! Please come hungry as we could not finish our food! It’s all so delicious :)
Justin is kind, engaging and full of awesome stories about Beijing and China as a whole. Would recommend taking this tour to start your Beijing journey and get yourself familiar with the area :)

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.
