“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 87 reviews · from $144

VIP seats at Chaoyang Theatre for acrobatics plus a Beijing-style roast duck dinner, with hotel pickup and drop-off in central areas.

“I found it very odd that I was the only person who was booked for this tour. It was unfortunate as I was traveling alone on business and was hoping to meet others for a dinner together. Much to my dismay, I attended the show which was fantastic - don't get me wrong! and then went to dinner, by myself, in an empty restaurant. Awkward. The guide was friendly but didn't really generate conversation nor talk about the areas we were driving through. He spent most of the time in the van talking in Mandarin to the driver. If others had attended, this would have been a great tour. Unfortunately,…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · from $180

A private Beijing day hitting Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, Nanluoguxiang, Temple of Heaven, plus roast Peking duck with drinks.

“The Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven are pretty much must-sees if you're in Beijing and haven't seen them before. Our tour guide, Torry, was cheerful, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. You couldn't ask for more. She answered questions about the attractions and about life in China in general. My husband's ankle was sore and she gave us a recommendation for an herbal medicine. A couple negatives: first, Beijing is unfortunately quite polluted. If it rains, the next day can be nice, but if not, it is pretty bad. Second, both these attractions are understandably very popular. Tons of tourists, tour groups, and the accompanying din of microphoned tour guides. For…”

Royal dining in a historic Beijing courtyard 2 km from the Forbidden City, paired with chronological Mandarin drama and fine dishes.

“Very beautiful performance. The serving of food is integrated into the whole storytelling. All in mandarin but is not hindering the experience at all. Food is local and from what I understand quite authentic but a bit uncommon to western taste though very interesting to try.”
