We had an amazing food tour. Our guide was really good and we had lots of fun! She got us to small local places that we wouldn't ever find on our own. The food was absolutely delicious. And we were stuffed after the evening. I can 100% recommend this tour.

This tour is absolutely fabulous. Each restaurant was very different, truly felt like a taste of what Beijing has to offer. Most of the locations were tucked back in the Hutong and would have been difficult as a Western tourist to navigate. The food options were a good mix of some things I've never tried before and dishes more familiar to a Western palate. It was also a huge amount of fun to share the experience with a small group of other people, and hear about everyone's travel experience. All of the food was delicious and plentiful. If you didn't happen to like a particular item, there were many others to enjoy. Our guide, Alex, was wonderful and he made sure every person on the tour enjoyed themselves, and to accommodate any food sensitivities or dietary restrictions. We did food tours in Shanghai and Hong Kong as well, and this was far and away the best one from our trip!

Thank you Bonnie for such a great evening. I loved trying new food and also getting to know some cultural history along the way. I did it on my own and it was fun meeting a few new people.

Great tour with our guide Tina. The food was delicious. It was also really nice to visit these smaller family owned businesses that I never would have found otherwise. I would have loved to have some beijing duck though and maybe a bit more general information about food and living in China.

This was a really fun tour! Our guide, Alex, was wonderful. Very charismatic, knowledgeable about the area, and genuinely interested in the neighborhoods and restaurants we visited. I think the "unlimited beer" feature attracted a fun group as well. I would definitely do this again and recommend it to friends.

The food was authentic and delicious. The restaurants were quite out of the way despite clearly being local favorites. We would have never been able to find them on our own. The tour guide was very approachable and friendly. She was very knowledgeable regarding the histories of the cuisines we sampled and the stories behind the restaurants we went to. She was also very accomodating in answering our questions and making sure we were comfortable (she carried drinks and refreshments while we were walking around, checked up on us while we were trying the food, etc.). She even gave us gifts at the end of the tour! I also have to mention that she was very fluent in English. One thing to note is that most of the foods we tried were quite friendly to less adventurous palates despite being staple dishes of the regions. So nothing too crazy, which can be both a plus and a minus depending on your intentions.

Great host (Tina) takes you to the type of restaurants you would never get to experience on your own. You learn the history of the city through it's food. You feel like you have a secret passage to the city. Loved this experience and highly recommend it for anyone that wants to experience the local side. Good luck trying to find and order these dishes on your own, it's almost impossible.

What a great way to explore Beijing. We were a group of 3 foodie friends and we enjoyed the tour with 3 other like minded hungry people. It was great fun, delicious food and we learnt a lot about Beijing life along the way. A "must do" for all foreigners visiting Beijing

This was a fantastic experience and great if you want to experience the different local specialties of Beijing. We went to several different restaurants and finished the night at a brewery. Everything was great! I also appreciated that there was a vegetarian option at each place so I didn’t feel like I missed out.

Travelling solo in China can be intimidating, particularly if you don't speak mandarin. This tour was a good way to meet fellow travellers and learn about the food and craft beer scene in Beijing. Our guide was very friendly and spoke good english.

Great local authentic places that I would have never discovered on my own that gives a real taste of Beijing classics. I am Chinese (my family is from Shanghai) and passionate about food, and I had never even heard of some of these delicious dishes :) Thanks Bonnie for a great tour!

This tour was fantastic, a casual vibe with likeminded others in a group of 12. The restaurants were off the main roads so we experienced true Beijing style food and atmosphere. Tour guide was great and enthusiastic. Only disappointment was not being dropped back at hotel, can be very difficult for a tourist to get back when there is no access to Didi ride app, language barrier. The temperature was -20C so it was very lucky we meet people that got us a ride to hotel

The Beijing Hutong Food and Beer tour was absolutely fantastic! We got a chance to try a whole range of different dishes. The food was superb. We had two guides, as one was being trained, and both were absolutely fantastic - very knowledgeable about the food and Beijing and very friendly. They also took us to some great places that we would otherwise have completely missed (or wouldn't have known what to order!) It was like being shown around the city by a friend. The tuk-tuks helped us fit in plenty of stops and were a fun way of breaking up the evening. We were also so full of food and beer by the end of the tour. It really was fantastic! Couldn't recommend more! We will be looking out for lost plate tours in other cities!

Great way to experience the Beijing local culture and make some friends! Highly recommend for non-Chinese visitors! Our guide took us to some authentic restaurants or hip bars and we had a great time!
