Must do activity for all ages - A must do activity when in town. Communication was great before the planned date, and they were very patient and caring with my parents too. I was able to customize the pathway a bit to end up at a nice Pekin duck place. I also got extra perks and surprises throughout the trip (will not spoil it, you gotta book it to find out!) I loved the ride and it was so cool to do it in such a fantastic country.

Great side car tour!! - My family and I recently enjoyed a sidecar ride through Beijing, and the experience was awesome. Our guide and driver John was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. We were picked up at 7pm. The route he took was perfectly curated, with charming, historic architecture of the Old Hutongs with the stunning, high-tech visuals of modern Beijing’s skyscrapers. Towards the end of tour, we had a rest stop by the roadside where John had packed tea and traditional Beijing desserts for us, which was a super cool surprise.
I was so appreciative of the great care John took of my elderly parents (60+). He was highly attentive, constantly checking on them, ensuring they were warm enough, and even provided heat pads to keep them comfortable during the ridee.
My father is over 6 feet tall, and the sidecar was surprisingly spaciouss. My dad fit comfortably the entire time. I was also grateful that John, along with another driver, provided careful assistance to help my dad get in and out of the sidecar safely, so that he didn’t trip.
From start to finish, John took photos of the entire experience so we have those to keep. He also took videos with his 360 camera.
I would definitely recommend John and this team to anyone wanting to see Beijing!
PS: If you are going in winter, make sure to wrap up and dress extremely warm as the wind is strong!

Solo Beijing Sightseeing and Shopping trip!! - John responded almost instantaneously to my query on the sidecar tour in Beijing.
We concluded the package very quickly.
The sidecar is a very good experience whereby Hu Tong in Beijing has space constraints and with sidecar, I can actually experience the very down to the earth kind of getting to know more of Beijing's uniquely historical background. John is also very attentive and will provide his fullest help whenever you require.

Fun & Adventurous Beijing Sidecar Tour with John! - Upon booking a Sidecar Tour through Beijing’s hutongs, John was instantly communicative. The original day of booking, it was due to rain. John immediately informed me and offered alternative dates and times with no rain — so thoughtful!
On the tour, John was awesome! Fun, adventurous, and full of knowledge about the both the city & the hutongs. He pointed out points of interests & made recommendations based on my interests. He took the time to take photos & shared videos taken during the ride. Riding through the hutongs in the sidecar was such a unique and exciting way to see some of Beijing. I will definitely be booking with John on my next trip to Beijing!
I definitely recommend booking this fun and adventurous Sidecar Tour with John, an unforgettable way to explore Beijing & the local Hutongs!

See a lot in a little time… - This experience was a great way to see the many faces of Beijing. John took me through the Hutongs while lending an insight to life there. Then we went to see the modern side of Beijing as well as a few spots that were not even on the itinerary. John was very considerate, offering snacks, water, even a poncho when it started to drizzle. He also suggested several photo opportunities and took photos for me. I highly recommend this experience.

Great tour seeing both new and old Beijing - Great tour! John personalized our tour based on what we wanted to see in the city and took us through both old and new. It was great cruising through the Hutongs, getting breakfast at a local restaurant and checking out the newer parts of the city after breakfast. He provided water and even offered us beer! Definitely a great tour to add to any itinerary while in Beijing
