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

Be awed by the sights of Beijing - My sister and I took the night tour as we wanted to escape the hot summer time. It was my first time in Beijing and also my first time in a side car, making this experience a reasonable one.
John made sure to do a weather check and let us know if the weather was good for a tour. He picked us up from our hotel and got us comfy in our seats. The helmets were equipped with Bluetooth mics/speakers so we didn't have to shout in the busy traffic.
We went through some hutong neighborhoods and John provided explanations on the features etc. The streets of Beijing are definitely different at night, lively and bright!
From the hutongs, we headed to the more modern and business side of Beijing. It is a huge contrast!
John got us bottled water, some local pastries and even beer! He didn't have any of course! We also got some lovely photos and videos of our little adventure. What a memory to share :)
This is a fantastic way to see Beijing. Must try!
Oh, for those who are not used to sitting on a bike, hmm, maybe consider some padded pants - just my personal experience XD

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.
