Free Walking Tours through Imperial Beijing

Roy is an amazing guide! From start to finish, he was very engaging, knowledge and innovative in his tour. He patiently answered all our queries and shared immense knowledge on history of China, Imperial City and Hutongs! We were so impressed that we booked Roy for another tour of Summer Palace same afternoon! Highly recommend!

I loved this tour. Visiting the imperial city is interesting, informative and gives a great overview on Beijing history and current reality. Roy is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, passionate about showing us the city and narrating what we were seeing. Easy walk, plenty of different scenarios and also no e suggestions on where to eat! Absolutely recommended!!

Roy is a very knowledgeable, very communicative, with effective and efficient use of the English language. Activity is highly recommended and suggested to be the 1st 1 prior to any others

Both entertaining and informative guided walk through Beijing imperial city and hutongs. Roy was also very knowledgeable and gave good answers to our questions as well! Highly recommend!

Very good mix of history and current life on the hutongs. He is focused on showing the real life / backstreets of the hutongs and not just commercial side. Stroller friendly.

My second tour with Roy because I loved the first one so much. A great way to see the city and learn historical and unusual facts. Roy is very interactive and speaks great English. Thank you Roy for the great memories!

Tour muy interesante y muy completo, Roy nos ha enseñado mucho sobre la ciudad y su historia con un contenido ameno y dinámico. Habla un inglés muy bueno que se entiende perfectamente. Ha respondido a nuestras preguntas, dudas, nos ha recomendado algunos sitios de comer... Muy recomendable.

Roy is very knowledgeable, warm and skilled. I have been on many free walking tours and he is a very gifted and passionate guide. Would recommend his tour to everyone visiting the hutongs!

One of the best walking tours I've ever joined. Very interesting and interactive. Roy is a very friendly and knowledgable guide. Thank you so much Roy!

He is a great guy. We enjoyed it much. We learned a lot about the hutongs.

Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht mit Roy unterwegs zu sein. Er hat uns die Geschichte ner Hutongs näher gebracht aber auch aus seinem Leben erzählt. Das machte die Tour sehr authentisch und man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.

I was extremely surprised and we felt lucky to have such an attentive and knowledgeable guide. He was able to answer all our questions related to the historical content of the region. A pleasant, attentive person with a wealth of soft skills. Thank you for the experience, and congratulations on your professional dedication! I wish you good luck in your personal and professional life.

Roy Li kannte sich bestens aus und hat uns sehr viel über die Geschichte des Hutong Vietels erzählt. Er hat es interaktiv gestaltet, so dass die 2 Stunden verflogen sind. Highly recommended 👍

I highly recommend the tour with Roy. He's an excellent guide. He knows the answer to any question you ask, and he makes the tour entertaining. Thank you so much, Roy, for showing us Beijing!

We had a great tour of imperial Beijing with Roy, who also took us through the hutongs, showing us what life was like in the past and how it is today. Roy speaks excellent English and is super friendly and helpful. He also shared interesting insights into modern Chinese society, which made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend his tour — and I’m really happy to be doing the Summer Palace tour with him as well!

Roy’s tour was great, very interactive and explained a lot of history. Super recommended!

Roy was a great standout as ‘Tour Director’. I have taken many tours and I give him ‘Two Thumbs Up’. He is doing what he should be doing with joy, integrity, humor , understanding and he will go far as a tour guide in China. Good Luck Roy!

I really enjoyed the tour with Roy! Roy knows a lot about Beijing history and he shared many insightful anecdotes.

Roy was such a charismatic and funny guide and I've never had a tour quite like this one. I really enjoyed learning about Beijing and his questions to us kept the tour very engaging. When it ended it felt like it was only 10 minutes. To me the tour could be 5 hours and I wouldn't be tired of it 😂. I definitely learned a lot about Beijing!

We had so much fun during the tour and learned a lot of new facts about Beijing. The tour was a great mix of history and how people live nowadays. If you are looking for an interesting tour besides the main attractions of the city, you should join the tour. Roy was a great guide and answered all of our questions very passionate. We would recommend it!

Eine sehr informative und lehrreiche Tour! Roy liebt es sein Wissen weiter zu geben und macht dies auf eine sehr unterhaltsame Weise. Absolut empfehlenswert und definitiv nicht meine letzte Tour mit Roy!

Roy was the best guide to visit the Old Hutongs in Beijing! Highly recommend.

Roy was an excellent guide! We already tried a couple of guides in Beijing, and Roy was without any doubt the best at speaking English. Furthermore he was very informative, and we learned much about the area and the Chinese culture even though it was just two hours✨

We had a great tour today with Roy. He was very friendly, funny and taught us a lot about the history and local area. The tour lasted 2hrs which was perfect. Thanks very much Roy!

Roy will tell you a lot of incredible (and shocking) information about China and his people. The tour is very nice, higly recomended!
