An excellent way to experience hidden food gems in Beijing. Our host, Flower, was knowledgeable and friendly. It was lovely to be able to communicate in English with our guide. Highly recommended.

Such a good experience! It was my first time doing a food tour and I have no regrets. It was amazing to learn a bit about chinese's history and culture while eating traditional food. My guide, June, was amazing and extra nice. I'm a bit of a lightweight so she took the time to recommend me drinks when we went to the brewery!

This was an excellent tour! We got to try a lot of different foods and visit restaurants we never would have found or been able to navigate on our own. We learned about Chinese cuisine and culture while making friends with the other travelers. Our tour guide Winnie was particularly helpful and sweet, helping us get a cab to go home at the end. I highly recommend Winnie and this food tour!
