Beijing born, hutong raised. Fifteen years guiding English speakers through the palaces and out to the Wall. I run early: the Forbidden City at 8:30 and Mutianyu before the coaches… View guide profile
Six or seven stops through the hutongs around the Drum Tower: sesame flatbread, lamb skewers, douzhi if you are brave, a courtyard bar, and a proper Peking duck carved at the table at a restaurant Beijingers book, not the one in the guidebook.
This is a new listing. Reviews are collected on Trustpilot after each tour and shown here with the traveller's country and the guide's reply.
Each stop has the Chinese name and a driver card, in case you want to leave early or come back another day.
Meet at the Drum Tower. Snack stops through the lanes: flatbread, skewers, sugared hawthorn.
A whole duck carved at the table, with pancakes, scallion and sweet bean sauce, plus the duck soup and two side dishes.
A craft beer or a baijiu tasting in a converted courtyard to finish.

Beijing is hard for strict vegetarians but doable: I swap the duck for a vegetarian restaurant near the Lama Temple. Tell me when you request.
