So the Great Wall and experience Beijing cuisine like a local - Our tour guide Janice provided us with a spectacular day of visiting and walking the legendary Great Wall, weaving us through the crowds, skipping the long queues and providing us tips we wouldn't have known otherwise to maximise our experience. Our driver, Mr Shu was also superb in his skills navigating the crazy tight lanes near our hotel, getting us there and back to Beijing in comfort and safety. Later that afternoon on our return, Janice informed us of some of the local neighbourhood insights around the Drum and Bell towers before we started on our exploration of Beijing culinary delights, many of which we hadn't tried. And these places were all great, she catered for the only restriction we had (not into seafood) and provided us with delicious and varied options for us to savour. The atmosphere at each was so different from super cosy family fare to hidden back alleyway surprises. Loved the whole day. Thank you Janice, Mr Shu and Lost Plate. We loved it so much, we're doing the Shanghai version next week.

Great full day tour in Beijing - The tour was great, would highly recommend! Tracy is very knowledgeable and passionate about local history and local cuisine. We never would have found the restaurants we went to on our own. Tracy is also very approachable and a nice person to talk to. Although it is for the entire day, the pace is very good and we did not feel tired at the end of it.
