BOOK THIS ASAP! :) - Book this experience! I had such a good time with John seeing the sights around Beijing, getting the history for each, and the experience of riding one of the few sidecars in Beijing! Very convenient if you're staying in one of the hutongs and you want to get picked up! :)
Got to see the CCTV HQ, Ming Dynasty Wall, Hutongs, an old Buddhist Temple (with not so much crowds) and best of all, a Peking Duck Lunch experience!
John took a lot of good photos as well to remember the trip.

"Unforgettable Sidecar Adventure in Beijing!" - I had an incredible time on the sidecar tour in Beijing—riding around the historic Houhai lake was a highlight! The views of the CCTV tower in the CBD added a modern twist to the experience.

Great experience! Even in winter ❄️ - John was amazing! I was only in China for half a day and he adjusted his schedule to pick me up, even at awkward times. The tour was ace! (A bit cold in November, it started snowing)
Just wrap up and wear warm clothes 😅 10/10

A Unique Blend of History and modern Charm: Beijing Sidecar Tour - I had an incredible experience on the "Ancient & Modern" Beijing sidecar tour. Starting early in the morning, we explored the charming old hutongs of Beijing. Our thoughtful guide, John, provided face covers to keep us warm in the chilly weather, which was a great touch.
As a local Beijinger, John had unparalleled knowledge of the area and took us to the most authentic and less touristy parts of the hutongs. It felt like a truly immersive Chinese experience, as he shared fascinating insights about the rich culture and heritage of the sites we visited.
The tour included stops at some breathtaking photo spots, where we captured stunning views of Beijing's iconic landmarks. John's accommodating nature made the experience even better, as he customized parts of the tour based on what we wanted to see.
This tour is fantastic value for money, combining an unforgettable cultural experience with personalized service. I can't thank John enough for his expertise and hospitality. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the real Beijing!
Thanks again, John!
Regards,
Alexa

Ride on! - Very professional tour, helmets & intercoms. Took us to the best sites on the city and give us some tips where to go later in the afternoon.
A nice snack and hot coffee very appreciated for the cold weather.

Best Ever - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What an absolutely amazing experience! We had so much fun from start to finish. John was not only super knowledgeable but also made everything feel exciting and entertaining. We laughed, learned, and explored so many incredible spots we’d never have found on our own. Every moment was an adventure, and we didn’t want it to end! Highly recommend—this was the highlight of our trip! 🎉🙌

A brilliant Beijing experience - We had a brilliant tour with John and his colleague at Beijing Sidecar Tours. It's a great way to link several key sights - from modern to old Beijing - in the centre of the city and cover ground quickly from a unique perspective. We found it particularly good for our children, who loved whizzing through the narrow alleyways of the hutongs. John was an absolute delight to deal with from start to finish. He was quick to respond to my rather last minute request, but put on a tour for us which felt like he’d been planning it for months, with lots of thoughtful details - he even provided a cake for my husband’s birthday! One of the best things we’ve done in Beijing - highly recommend and I can’t wait to do it again! Thanks John 😊

The Only Way to Travel - This is the way to travel, great fun, relax as John takes you around the streets and alley ways, (other half thought she was the queen waving to the bemused locals from her sidecar).
A bit thanks to John for his patience as we were a little late but still made feel welcome, would recommend to anyone, biker or non biker to have a go, just enjoy the ride around.
