Free tours a Pechino

Amazing tour! Perfect for your first day in Beijing. Our guide made history and local daily life super engaging with great stories and fun activities in hutong. We played traditional local games, tried calligraph, learned about local handicrafts, and had a yummy little snack stop. So much fun packed into just 3.5 hours! Don’t think twice, book it — you’ll have an awesome time!

Roy is a fantastic guide! He provided amazing insights into Beijing’s culture and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. He is professional, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond.

We made a very nice tour with Roy… He’s a guide very clever and dynamic. His presentation is so interactive that we were very interested! He is professional and we recommend him … He let us a good address for lunch and we enjoyed a lot. Thanks. Best regards

April is an excellent guide, professional, engaging and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with her.

Best tour I've ever been on. I've gone on free walking tours all over the world, and Roy has been the best. Because I'm also Chinese-American, he explained the Chinese words to me as well. We saw all the big sights and sounds, and he explained to me much of the history of Beijing, as well as places to go and things to eat later. Great tour, would highly recommend to anyone. His English is perfect.

Roy was a great guide. We learnt a lot from the tour. Thanks Roy!

April is a kind and knowledgeable guide, with a mature approach to the walking tour. She was able and willing to answer our questions as we walked the route, many of which focused on the modern-day life to people in Beijing. We visited the ghost market, viewed a pocket garden, a mosque and a Buddhist temple. These were interesting, but the 'Revolutionary Past' I had expected (since WW2, say) was not really covered as such, although we did talk about the early 1900s.

Roy is a really entertaining guide, and uses humour and a soft questioning technique to keep his walkers interested and engaged. We walked through many hutong streets, and he maintained a great rapport, telling us about the food we passed, and the buildings/amenities that were unfamiliar to us eg the water-filling stations outside some of the hutongs, celebrity ownership. He was happy and able to answer all of our questions. He made recommendations of restaurants, and shopping locations, and ended at the Drum and Bell Temples in time for the 1pm drumming. If I were to visit Beijing again, I would definitely try to catch up with him again. Highly recommended!

A fascinating, interesting & well paced walk through the Imperial City of Beijing. Roy spoke very good English & touched on many aspects on Beijing & Chinese history & culture. He looked after the group very well. You have to take the tour to appreciate how loveable he was! We learnt a lot! Thank you.

Echo ist ein wunderbarer Mensch, mit dem es Spaß macht, durch die Verbotene Stadt zu laufen. Sie nimmt sich für alle Fragen Zeit und kennt die Stadt bis ins kleinste Detail. Wir sind sehr dankbar für die Zeit mit ihr und werden den Besuch nicht so schnell vergessen. Vielen Dank!

Echo is a highly professional guide, she is well prepared, engaging and generous with her time. She goes out of her way to help her customers and this is a special quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her.

Echo's tour is very informative and she is a very well prepared guide, with lot of historical hints. We really enjoyed, thank you!

Roy was a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining.

We really enjoyed the tour with Roy Li, it’s our first time in Beijing, it’s perfect to understand the local atmosphere and culture. It was very interactive tour. Thank you for sharing the stories and information about China.

Roy Li was great!

Roy is super experienced and very easy to understand and joke with. He has a good sense of irony and knows his history. Super enjoyable!

This is the tour you should do once you've seen the Forbidden City at least. It goes into more "people's" history, lots of quirky trivia, and gives a broader context to what makes Beijing the city it is today. Roy's great, easy to follow in his breadth of knowledge, and we feel this really rounded up our trip to Beijing. Did not walk as much as i belive it was in the description, which is probably for the best, especially with a toddler in tow.

Roy is a wonderful guide, witty, helpful and highly professional. He told many interesting stories and gave helpful facts to keep the audience engaged. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Incredible tour - Roy was very informative and entertaining! Would recommend to everyone coming to Beijing :)

Absolutely great tour by Roy, very friendly enthusiaati and engaging with the group, he provided a lot of intersting about China's culture and recent history

Beautiful experience discovering Beijing with Roy’s guided tour ❤️ Roy was an attentive, engaging, and friendly guide! The tour was extremely interesting, full of fascinating information and helpful recommendations ☺️ Highly recommended 🤗

April was a terrific guide with excellent English and a great willingness to answer all our questions with thought and consideration. Her tour is highly recommended for anyone wanting an excellent understanding of Chinese cultural history. Highly recommended!

A very informative tour. Taking in old Beijing never usually visited by tourists. He gave us a lot of information along the way and answered any questions we had.

We loved the tour with Echo so much that we asked her to organise our itenerary for all other days during our stay. She went above and beyond with information and assitance. Even when a girl from our group forgot sunglasses in taxi she contacted the driver and went to collect them. She reserved restaurants for us and helped with getting tickets for attractions we wanted to see. She is amazing

This is a must do walking tour. Roy Li was absolutely fantastic. So knowledgeable, entertaining and gave great recommendations. We are so glad we booked this tour around the hutongs!
