Great tour! - We had Cactus as our guide and she was fantastic. She took us to several restaurants where we got to eat traditional dishes. She gave us great information about the food and the history of the food and culture. This was a highlight of our trip to Beijing! If you want a fabulous evening with great food and history this is for you. I highly recommend it.

Great tour - We had a great tour with Becci. She was very knowledgeable and a fun person to spend the evening with. Some of the food was a bit outside our comfort zone for most of us but my husband gave everything a try. Becci was also really helpful with assisting us with our other travel plans.
