  • Hutong Tour

    Hutongs are a maze of historic alleyways with traditional single-story courtyard houses, which are now fast disappearing. They are a remnant of the old Beijing. In this tour, you will walk through the narrow alleys, as well as visit a local family to discover the traditional lifestyle and how these unique residential houses and culture are protected. You can also ascend the Bell Tower to have a bird’s-eye view of the hutong area.The total walking distance in this tour is about 1.4 km. If you are interested in a traditional Chinese culture experience, we are happy to offer a free experience in the hutongs of about 40 minutes: Learn Chinese Calligraphy or Learn Chinese Paper Cutting.

We had a great time. Our tour guide Sabrina was the best! The lunch at the familys home was amazing! The food was better than any restaurant we ate at. Highly recommend this tour. Ms. Sabrina is extremely knowledgeable and has a warm personality.

It was an amazing experience walking...

It was an amazing experience walking The Great Wall of China!!! There are truly no words to describe it!!! The culmination of going to The Beijing Zoo, seeing those adorable Pandas and having lunch with a Chinese couple will be such a beautiful memory. I enjoyed every minute of my tours in Beijing.

This was my favorite tour of all...

Published on Jan, 2018

This was my favorite tour of all days tours I did. The lama temple and giant Buddha's were my favorite. The lunch in the hutongs was a great experience as well to understand traditional living. The guide was the best part. I believe her name was Ouyu. of all my guides she was the only one that made sure I understood how to get back to my hotel it was in an odd area that the bus couldn't pull up to. She spoke great English and had a wonderful sense of humor. Highly recommend, even if only one day in China!

Excellent. Our guide was fun...
