Called in at several small restaurants and even went into a supermarket to discuss foods. Lucy was an excellent guide and explained lots in things about the dishes , the area of Beijing and the eating habits and changes over time . Highly recommend the tour - just skip lunch so you can enjoy the evening as there is lots to eat 😊

Great food tour with Anson ! Plus he explained the evolution of hutongs. The selection of food types was terrific in terms of the depth and breadth of flavours and regional cooking of ChinA- from spicy hand drawn noodles, to hot kebabs and even donkey sandwiches. Recommended!

Miko is a great guide !!! He knows a lot about the city and his joice of the Food-selections was very tasty ! I can recommend this tour - but please book Miko as your Guide !!! So you can be sure, that the tour will be a special Experience !

Do not eat, maybe within 24 hrs of this tour, and don’t feel bad about leaving leftovers. This tour has plenty of and great variety food. The history thru a real Beijing neighborhood house was very interesting to peak into the life of earlier Beijing families. The guide was very knowledge meant, kind and patient. We took a 10-2 tour, so wasn’t too interested, but plenty of opportune for local alcoholic beverages along the route.

My guide is Jimmy which is very friendly and knows where is the best place for local food. Just remember to prepare your stomach for this trip as there are toooooo many food to try.

Anson took me on a private walking/food tour through the hutongs in Beijing. He knows a lot about the history and knows the best places to eat the local Chinese food. It was very delicious and more than enough! He even bought some pastries for me to take home for my wife and brought me to the big lighted dragon at the lake for Chinese new year, which was actually not included in the tour. Thanks Anson, see you next time when I will be in Beijijng, I’ll definitely book the tours with you!

We had a great evening with our guide Miko! Miko had a lot of knowledge. Great tour guide and great food.

We loved Lucy! She took us to many places we would not have gone on our own, and we tried lots of things. A great intro to our time in Beijing!

We had a fabulous day with our tour guide Miko. Miko was a fun and enthusiastic guide who shared a lot of stories, history and insights with us not only on the delicious dishes but also on Beijing and its culture. Miko also spiced up the tour by his genuine sense of humour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a real taste of Beijing city life and culture!

The whole thing was great! We booked a private tour so we had more time for us and it was well worth it. Anson was amazing! You can’t beat it when a local shows you around. The hardest part was not over eating with more still to come. We learnt so much, ate too much and had a great laugh. Loved the Hutong walk as well. Thank you!!! What a great memory we have 😊

Wonderful food tour trip with Anson! Great to visit the hutong area and to learn the history. We ate so many different types of food, in particular the BBQ and sweet potato noodles were amazing! Lots of spicy food too which was great! Special mention for the xiaolongbao too! Anson is a very friendly, knowledgable and cool guy, and was the perfect host. We ate great food and learnt a lot about Chinese history too! Highly recommend this food tour, and Anson as a host! Thanks for a great night!

We had a great experience and our guide Miko knew the area very well. His knowledge of the hutong was amazing as was the range of local food we got to sample.

We had a great time with Lucy on the Beijing food tour. We got to try a wide variety of interesting Chinese dishes, and had the option to be as brave as we wanted to be, without any pressure to eat anything we didn't want to. Lucy was a lot of fun to be with, she has excellent English and is an empathetic and highly knowledgeable host. We really enjoyed wandering around old Beijing with her, exploring the Hutongs, learning about the history and culture as well as the food. We highly recommend this tour and Lucy as a guide.

The food tour is great experience! You get to try some of the most famous and delicious food in Beijing. Miko was my guide and he was great! He told me a lot not only about the food, but also gave me a lot if interesting facts about Beijing and China. You get to experience something unique, try so many different food, learn new things and widen your view. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Originally had another tour booked but was told if I was the only traveler at the start time then they would not proceed. I booked this tour after canceling said previous tour thinking there were more people on this one and not being told otherwise. To my surprise I was the only one and the tour still went along! My tour guide Lucy was amazing!! She was so informative and kind. We had such good food and Lucy was so considerate of my likes and dislikes but overall an amazing tour!!

Our food & hutong tour with Lucy was one of the highlights of our short 4-day stay in Beijing. From the get-go she was very attentive to our questions and flexible with our dietary needs. All the while she made sure to chose for us a generous selection of foods/dishes that represented China’s diverse culture. Each person in our group had their favorite dishes — but all the foods featured very unique flavors. Lucy’s knowledge of the hutong neighborhood was impressive and made our tour more enjoyable than just a simple food tour. Instead of going to a restaurant for an evening, I’d highly recommend you take this tour and get generously fed samples of many different authentic, local foods!

The tour was a great way to experience the local food of Beijing. Lucy, my guide, was great, she gave me lots of insights into the food and culture of China and specifically of Beijing. The foods that I tried were delicious and a great variety of soups, meats and sweets. I felt like a king with course after course of tasty foods. We also did a little walking tour to see the historical old town. I’d recommend this tour for anyone that wants to experience a more local taste of Beijing.

Miko is a great guide accesible and knowledgeable we had a great time, the explanation of food and way of live in china was very helpful

We had originally booked a tour with Miko to do a 4-hour walking tour of Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City. After such a wonderful experience we decided to reach out and see if he’d take us on the Hutongs tour too. To our delight, he was available which concluded our time in Beijing so well. Miko was both knowledgeable and entertaining in his approach to this tour which helped guide us in trying new food. We tried a variety of new items while also enjoying Miko’s company. A tour with Miko means you learn a lot about the context of Beijing; certainly more than any structured tour. His personality adds to the experience and helps ease any anxieties you might have about travelling in a foreign country. Thanks Miko!

The food tour was extremely interesting and insightful. It was a great opportunity to try different Beijing foods while learning more about the culture. Lucy was great as well, introducing and explaining each food item to us.
