Old Beijing Dinner Tour

Old Beijing Dinner Tour - Stop-by-stop: what each part feels like (and what to watch for)

1.Old Beijing Dinner Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 348 reviews · from $75Our pick

Walk Old Beijing hutongs on a small-group dinner tour with dumplings, hotpot, beer, and a rice-wine tasting.

“Some food tours disappoint by being timid or obvious, but not this one. Zeben, our guide, was a great host and guided our convivial group of eight to some great food served in possibly-too-generous-portions accompanied by plenty of local drinks. We never would have found these food sources on our own, let alone known how to order! A fantastic time, I recommend this tour!”

“I had a really enjoyable evening on this tour. My tour guide Evelyn was very knowledgeable about Beijing and the different neighbourhoods we went to. Seeing all the major sights eliminated in the evening was a great experience. One highlight was the dinner in a Hutong neighbourhood. One tip for future travellers, if you have the dinner and then go to Wangfujing Food Street afterwards, make sure you leave some room to be able to try the many delicacies on offer there.”
