Free walking tours in Beijing

So immersive experience in Pekín cultural heritage

We took this free Beijing tour on our first day in Beijing, and it was simply amazing! She took us to some authentic local spots in the hutongs that I would never have found as a tourist. A surprising highlight was the calligraphy workshop — we got to not only watch demonstrations but also write our own Chinese characters. It was so fun and special! We also tried some delicious local food and received some incredibly useful food and sightseeing recommendations. If you’re visiting Beijing, trust me, you cannot miss this tour!

A fantastic tour! Super exciting and entertaining. It wasn't boring:)

Excellent tour! Professional guide, very informative, funny, great English !

Un tour estupendo con Roy, nos enseñó muchísimas cosas y aprendimos mucho con él. Recomiendo 100%

Loved this Beijing free city walk! Our guide Yan is friendly, knowledgeable and clearly loves sharing local stories. We skipped busy tourist spots and wandered quiet residential lanes. The local food we sampled was really delicious. We even got a nice little surprise showing traditional Chinese culture. A relaxed, authentic way to experience Beijing off the typical travel path…

I’d really like to recommend Echo for her tour. She shows you parts of Shanghai near the Forbidden City that nobody else takes you to, and they’re absolutely beautiful! The bike tour is also really convenient and useful because you get to see so many things that would otherwise take far too long to reach on foot. Echo is also very friendly. Highly recommended!

Roy did a great job. Didn't cancel even when my family was the only one on tour. Still took us around, told us really interesting things and had interesting conversations with us. Really happy we decided on this tour.

El tour és una molt bona manera de visitar parts de la ciutat no tan conegudes, el final amb les vistes és espectacular i la ruta amb bicis molt divertida.

C’était un free walking tour genial ! Roy est pleins de bonne humeur et nous a raconter des pleins d’informations sur Pékin mais également sur la Chine. 2h15 est la durée parfaite. Je recommande très vivement !

Very interesting tour in a not-so-busy of Beijing, thanks again April!!!

Roy was an excellent guide and its English was perfect! He gave us a lot of information to better understand the places visited but also other ones around the city. He also suggested us other places to visit or where to go to eat local food

Fantastic tour and great guide! Roy was so knowledgeable about the history of Beijing and took us to really interesting locations. He was also great about keeping us in the shade as much as possible on a hot day! Highly recommend this tour

Absolutely incredible tour and great tour guide! Would highly recommend

Roy was an excellent guide for the Beijing Imperial City Free Walking Tour. His passion for Beijing's history and culture was evident throughout the tour, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the city's imperial past to life. He spoke clearly, kept the group engaged, and was always happy to answer questions. The tour was well-paced, informative, and filled with interesting historical insights that I would have missed exploring on my own. Roy also provided useful local tips and recommendations, making the experience even more valuable. If you're visiting Beijing and want a deeper understanding of the city's rich history, I highly recommend taking a tour with Roy. A memorable and enjoyable experience!

April is a knowledgeable and friendly guide who procures an original and diverse tour. Thank you, April!

Roy has been an amazing guy, very insightful and showed us a part of Beijing I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Roy is an extremely passionate and personable guide. I’m grateful for his extensive knowledge about Beijing and China and for the truly interesting time he shared with the group today. Top notch! Xie Xie, Roy!

We had a great day touring the Temple of Heaven, Forbidden city, and more! Echo was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and all the amazing history. Additionally she was super helpful throughout especially with getting tickets to the temples. She had great tips, and food recommendations! She also took some great photos! Overall she was a pleasure to tour with, highly recommend.

Excelente el tour de Roy ! Mucho conocimiento sobre la ciudad y la cultura china. Excelente inglés !! Lo super recomendamos !!

Excellent tour. Roy is very knowledgeable, and his stories are always shared with a warm smile, making the experience pleasant, joyful, and memorable.

Roy was an excellent guide; we learned a lot from his explanations, which helped us better understand Chinese culture. He speaks very good English and is easy to understand.

Echo è stata molto attenta alle nostre esigenze, intrattenendo anche le nostre bambine curiose. Il giro è stato molto accurato e ci ha scattato molte foto che resteranno un piacevole ricordo.

Echo is an excellent guide! She gave us so many tips that we would have completely missed without her. The tour's content makes the whole visit feel much more complete. Plus, she takes incredible photos!

Great tour!! April was welcoming and nice, really recommend!!
