We LOVED this tour!!! Lucy did a great job!!!! She provided us with much more than we expected! She even took us through the hutongs on our way from one restaurant to the next, all the while providing us with interesting facts and insight into the life and culture in Beijing.
This was truly a unique but mot pleasant experience. Jimmy made it a very enjoyable memory.
Roy picked us up from the hotel and took us via metro into the city! We went to roughly 10 restaurants, which were only locally driven! This was most probably the most interesting and exciting tour we have done in a while. We went to the known local restaurants, to noodle restaurants, to a pig organ restaurants, to a dim sum restaurant and so on. Roy explained to us the cultural differences within China and make sure that we understood everything and anything. Roy was great and I would recommend him!
We were met at our hotel by a nice young man by the name of Roy Li. He led us around the houtong where we sampled dishes from many small restaurants. The variety of food was great and the portions were so large that by the end, we really couldn't eat anything more and had to take some of the food to go. Roy was very informative and looked up every question we asked to make sure we would understand his answer. We definitely recommend asking for Roy and taking this tour!
This is the perfect tour for someone who wants an authentic Chinese food experience. Our guide Bella was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she take us to restaurants we would have never been able to find let alone order on our own, but she also gave us so much information on the history and culture of Beijing. We went to more restaurants than we could keep track of and we ended the evening so full we could hardly move! This tour far exceeded our expectations!
