Free walking tours in Peking

On the second day of our arrival in Beijing, we joined this tour. The weather was lovely, and our guide was very professional and informative, taking us through hutongs and cultural districts. We tried a bit Chinese traditional calligraphy and it was much fun! We also had the chance to taste some delicious local snacks! The three hours were incredible , and I would highly recommend it to others!

Roy Li led a brilliant tour focused on the Imperial City. During the tour we explored non-touristy Hutongs, and Roy Li’s extensive historical knowledge really brought the area to life

Gostei muito do passeio. Uma excelente introdução para meu primeiro dia em Pequim. Recomendo.

Roy Li was my guide, and he is incredible. I was not sure what to expect from this tour, and he exceeded all of my expectations!! Roy provided historical background, so that I could understand more about the area that we visited. I would do this tour again, it is that great. This tour is not a "typical tourist" walking tour, I think this tour shines a light on a very important neighborhood. Excellent tour!!

A great tour. Aazing guide. Highly recommended!

This tour was amazing!! It was my first day here and our tour guide gave us a lot of tips and introduction to this city. As I don't like touristy spots, this tour was quite unique and avoided the crowds, so we could take our time to enjoy a quiet and peaceful moment wandering through small and lovely hutongs. Really enjoyed it.

Roy was a very fun and informative guide, he knew his stuff, and it was clear to se he loved talking about Chinese history

Can’t recommend this tour enough! Roy was absolutely incredible — he taught us so much about China, its culture, and its customs in such a short time. He was incredibly attentive, answered every question with patience, and made the entire tour engaging and never boring. I highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want to understand China and Beijing on a deeper level. Thank you, Roy!

Roy was an incredible guide! His explanations of Chinese history were exceptionally clear and fascinating. He shared so many new details and insights that truly deepened our understanding of the country. Highly recommended for a thorough and engaging historical tour!

Roy Li was a great guide - so informative, funny & helpful. I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

I didn’t expect much but i was really happy at the end of the tour. Roy was really friendly and approachable. He shared history about China, how Beijing and the people lived, and modern society topics too. (Eg. Marriage) He was not boring so a lot of things i’ve learned

I recently took a tour in Beijing and I honestly couldn’t have had a better experience. My guide, Roy, was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. He knows every detail about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems — but what truly sets him apart is the way he explains everything: clear, engaging, enthusiastic, and always making the stories come alive. On top of that, Roy is extremely attentive, patient, and genuinely committed to making sure you’re comfortable and enjoying every moment.

The tour was very informative and interesting, Roy is an amazing tour guide! We learned a lot about the history, everyday life of Beijing and China. I reccomend to everyone!

It was a perfect decision to start exploring the city with Roy.. He is a wise tour guide with deep knowledge and he makes it interesting&enjoyable with sarcasm :) I certainly suggest to have this tour at the first days of your trip and his suggestions will make rest of your visit perfect..

Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide was incredibly professional and provided fascinating insights into Beijing's history and the origins of the hutongs. The food stops in the hutongs were a real highlight. Highly recommend this experience—I've already started telling my friends about it!

Was an informative and interesting tour by Mr. Roy

We have done many Guru walks in different counties and Roy was the best yet! He makes a huge effort with his group, his knowledge is incredible and the information is fascinating. His English is also perfect!

Roy is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Roy is AMAZING! We get to know and understand Beijing in a way that only a person from beijing could. Fun, friendly and with great facts. We asked a lot of questions and Roy was always answering with a great historical context. super super great!!!

Roy provides an outstanding tour of this part of Beijing. He has great knowledge, is well prepared and easy to listen. We really enjoyed the tour, learned a lot and could not imagine a better way to get a good overview of Beijing and chinas history within 2,5 hours.

Nice to meet Bruce, i enjoy all the tour very much, we visit very different places so interestong. Thank you Bruce for the tour

Roy was nice, informative and funny. His English was very good and easy too unterstand. I can recommend this tour everytime.

I had the pleasure to walk around with Roy Li last night and it was my first ever visit to Beijing. Roy took the time to explain the history buildings and also everything around the old part of Beijing. The group was quite small which made it even better to have a conversation and exchange ideas and point of views from different tourists that have been in Beijing for different length of time. Roy made sure that we all were involved and to also drop really interesting information here and there that wasn’t related to only the history. I really appreciated Roy trying to relate his stories to our own countries background and sparking that conversation that definitely pushed the tour and made it feel a lot more personal and tailored to the group. I would thoroughly recommend going with Roy and if I had a chance, I would definitely do it again.

Discovering the hutong with Roy was a delightful surprise. The tour was a perfect mix of history, traditions, and fun insights. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Il tour con Roy è stato molto interessante e coinvolgente; le spiegazioni sono state chiare e i tips sui posti dove andare a mangiare ci hanno aiutato nel nostro soggiorno a Pechino. Consigliatissimo!
