Free walking tours in Beijing

Good overview of unique foods of Beijing. It wouldve been nice to try a small amount of everything. Possibly work with vendors to ensure they will be on your tour if they allow smaller portions. Overall, still a great experience.

Our experience exploring Beijing was absolutely unforgettable, and that was entirely thanks to our incredible guide Roy Li. From the moment we met, it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a knowledgeable friend who truly loves their city. What stood out most was the depth of insight Roy shared, not just historical facts, but the stories, traditions, and everyday life that make the hutongs so special. They brought the narrow alleys and courtyard homes to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. We learned about local customs, family life, and how the area has evolved over time, all while feeling completely engaged. Roy pointed out hidden gems we would have easily missed and gave us great recommendations for food and places to explore afterward. If you’re visiting Beijing, this is an absolute must-do. The hutongs are fascinating on their own, but with a guide like this, they become something truly meaningful. This is a great tour to not only learn about local Chinese life, but also China history, local customs, & Beijing in general. Highly, highly recommend this all in one tour with Roy!

So much fun in just 3.5 hours—the best decision choosing this tour! We learned so much about Beijing's history, local stories, and fun facts while exploring the hutong neighborhoods. We also had a lovely calligraphy session (I even got my Chinese name written!), joined a fun quiz game, and stopped for some yummy local pancakes. Highly recommended!

Roy was an amazing guide. We are so grateful to join this tour. We learned so much about the history of China from Roy. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Beijing.

Roy was great, informative and easily understood. He did a wonderful job.

It was a very interesting tour with Roy! His storytelling style was easy to understand and we really enjoyed listening to all the information! We can highly recommend the tour :)

Roy was very nice and friendly. Their explanations were perfect. I recommend Roy for the night free tour in Beijing and for sure, any tour he do. Thanks Roy!!

We had a fantastic tour with Roy. He told us about life in ancient China and what it's like today in the hutongs. Highly recommended!! Thanks, Roy!!!

One of the best guru walking tours we have had. Roy provides great insight on Beijing and its very interesting history. Highly recommend Roy and this tour.

Sherry was an excellent Guru and provided a lot of information, history and context in relation to the historical significance of the area we explored. Highly recommend her tour, Alex & Jolene Sablan

Super plaisant d'avoir eu un tour guidé avec Roy, personne très intéressante en plus d'être passionné par son travail. Tour totalement en anglais Highly recommend 👍👍👍

Roy was entertaining and was happy to share information abt the place and insights. He was super patient with kids who stopped for food and spent his time to explain and not rush the tour. Totally worth it!

Very engaging walking tour with Roy! He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the history of the area, which was refreshing and an exciting start to our China trip. We liked that it was a small group and we could listen to him share with great detail without any distraction. Roy also shared a list of hidden gems for us to visit after the trip.

This was by far the most unexpectedly fun, educational, and interactive free tour I’ve ever done! In just 3.5 hours, we explored charming hutong neighborhoods, played games with locals, tried street food pancakes, joined a cozy calligraphy workshop, and even had a quiz that taught us so much about Beijing’s history and culture. Definitely the highlight of my trip!

Very friendly. Excellent English. Interactive. Animated. Answered all questions. Knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Great tour.

Mejor recorrerlo con Roy. The summer palace is a very big place and full of history, history that I wouldn't learned if it's wasn't for Roy

De Viaje por los Hutongs de Beijing. Roy show us and explain us how the Hutongs where develop and What it means that type of neighborhood today. We ended by the Drum Tower and was a fantastic tour rich in History by this storyteller

Nada mejor que caminar por una calle de comida en un fría noche de Invierno. Roy tour us on Qianmen, Wich is the best street food in Beijing. He knows his stuff and is an excellent tour guide.

Such an amazing tour! 100% recommended. First of all, a perfect English. Combine that with a deep understanding of China's history & culture, a passionate guide that travels everyday from Hebei province to share his passion, and you get a perfect combo. Great personality and an open mind, sharing with you the touristy place as well as the less touristy ones, witty and funny jokes + a heartwarming overall personality. If it is your first days in Beijing, I recommend you starting with this tour. And Roy if you ever read this, wishing you a happy Chinese New Year to you & yours!
