Passeio Gastronômico a Pé de Meio Dia pelo Antigo Hutong de Pequim

The hutong walking food tour was a great way not only to explore the hutongs themselves but to immerse yourself in Chinese culture. We learned about the different kinds of traditional foods all the way from sweet to savory as well as tons of trivia and what daily life is like there from our tour guide, Jim. Jim was an excellent tour guide, he was very informative, courteous, accommodating, and friendly. We would converse about various topics on Chinese life and culture, most specifically how it was in Beijing, and he would always offer help without us even asking. Our tour guide also had good story telling capabilities, as with every word he spoke about the history and way of living in the places we walked to, we would always be so intrigued and interested in whatever he had to say. After our tour, Jim even helped us on how to get around to find other interesting places to tour around, showing that he truly knew the lay of the land and the interesting parts of the entire city. Overall, we truly enjoyed the time we spent on the tour as well as the food we ate, it will truly be a memory that we will treasure.

We had a great time on this tour! Our guide was Jim, who was very polite, knowledgeable and attentive. We were also lucky enough to be the only people who booked the tour hence it was turned out to be private. We tried many different local foods which we would never would try otherwise if didn’t go on this tour. Overall, great experience!

Our guide, Ruiya, is very familiar with the Beijing hutongs in the area. A young and knowledgeable lady, her recommendation for a traditional Beijing breakfast was interesting, and she slowly led us through various hutongs. We enjoyed many other local breakfast treats, which were awesome and savory. We ended our tour at the Bear Cafe, which is very unique, as it's an old hutong with a contemporary modern cafe that makes very interesting and savory coffee. The baristas there are all well-trained and have proper certification for coffee brewing. A must-try!

The tour itself is quite good, but I do think it's a rather large group for the price, which makes it difficult for the tour guide to manage. Please note that the meeting instructions on Klook are outdated and incorrect.

Freya was our guide. She was friendly and thoughtful. She's also very knowledgeable about the origins of the food. The hutong we visited was so local and authentic, nothing like the dime a dozen touristy places we've been to. For those who want a crash course on food, this breakfast food tour is highly recommended! 👍

My guide, Freya, is great and genuine. The breakfast venue they took us to is somewhere you wouldn't typically find on your own, as the tour leads you through long, winding hutongs and stops at unassuming eateries, some of which may not even have a shop name. However, the problem is that you really have to commit to your booking date, as the tour operator doesn't allow for flexibility. My husband was sick with a fever, and yet I couldn't reschedule the tour. The operating vendor (Lost Plate) told me I could reschedule provided I pay an additional 50% per person for the change. I told them I'd be more than happy to attend, but how would they account for other people in the group who would be sharing food with us? (By the way, food is always shared among the people who join the tour, for example, one basketful of dumplings to share, or a bowl of soy milk to share).

No pude unirme al tour mientras estaba en la estación.
