Amazing dinner tour with Shan - During the 3-hour food tour, Shan gave us very interesting insights about Chinese cuisine, the Hutons, and China in general. It was one of the best tours I have ever taken.

A must-do Beijing tour - Joining our knowledgeable guide Jesus was a great experience! He showed us spots in the Hutong I’ve walked right past without noticing before. The tour shows a good balance of food tasting, fascinating stories and lots of laughs. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a deep dive into Beijing’s Hutong culture, because let’s be honest, I'd never discover this side on my own :D

The food was great with the noodles and crepes being my favorites

Amazing Garth! - This was one of the memorable evenings I had on my China trip. We lucked out by getting Garth Wilson as our guide . He is an amazing storyteller with very deep understanding of history , culture and of course food . He gave us great context to the food we had , so the experience was far greater than just tasting new flavours. In 3 hours we were hanging on to every word he uttered, as we zig zagged through the hutongs , stopping by at joints and restuarants that on our own, I would never find.
