Free walking tours in Beijing

Really liked the tour given by Roy Li, one of the best ones I've had! He's very engaging, knowledgeable, funny and he does the guiding and explaining very well. Do recommend his tour to anyone coming to Beijing

Roy was such a great storyteller, I learned so much about history and cultures that I had no idea even though I am a native born Chinese. The tour was intimate and extremely informative and my friend and I enjoyed a slow paced city walk that a few routes have very few tourists. We also tried a dumpling restaurant Roy recommended, it was awesome, my friend who had visited Beijing anytime didn’t even know that local popular dumpling restaurant. I truly enjoyed this tour.

Very interesting , entertaining and professional

Really good experience.

Great experience of local culture and food, highly recommend if you want a local prospective of Beijing

I really enjoyed this walk. It is good pace and informative, providing a very good orientation to exploring Beijing on my own later. Roy tells the history and stories of old Beijing in an interesting and engaging manner.So much can be told of the owner of the house by looking at the door alone!

The most informative and interesting tour we have been on since arriving in China. Roy was an amazing tour guide full of fantastic facts and history of China! I would definitely recommend this tour!

Echo was such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. I had a fantastic time on the tour, and Echo was always happy to help and give advice!

I had a great time, and learned a lot, I really enjoyed the calligraphy lesson

La mañana fue genial! Echo es una guía majísima y respondió todas nuestras preguntas sin ningún problema :) Trajo unas fotos para ayudarnos a ver las explicaciones mejor, y lo hizo todo muy agradable y súper informativo, nos explicó muchísimas cosas interesantes, éramos un grupo muy reducido. 100% recomendado si vas a visitar la ciudad prohibida <3

Roy’s tour commentary was great! During the 2+ hour walk, I learnt so many things despite coming from a Chinese descent myself.

We had a great experience knowing more about Beijing and the history of China with Roy. He patiently explained details and curiosities. His English is good and we were able to understand and ask questions during the tour. We highly recommend the tour with him.

Great tour to explore the hutongs and learn Chinese history and many other interesting topics. Very enjoyable and informative for adults as well as kids.

The tour was very interesting and I learned a lot of interesting stories. Highly recommended

Great way to see and explore Hutong. Very interesting and entertaining! Learned many new things! Very easy to sign up. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Echo was a great guide. Interesting and friendly. We learned a lot and felt very comfortable. Thank you

Very nice and interesting

Echo was easy to communicate with. I only had a layover at Beijing and she catered to my needs and made my short stay at Beijing memorable.

She is very informative and familiar with old Beijing and trying calligraphy was so much fun

It was great to meet Roy. The tour was complete, and he shared very good information about the city and the history of China. Also we got tips for the remaining of our trip, which is so important to know from a local.

Echo is professional and shares passionately the history of forbidden city , the tour is interesting and engaging.

Really informative tour around the imperial area of the city. Plenty of tips and recommendations of places to eat and see around.

We had an amazing full-day tour of Beijing with Echo! We covered a massive amount of ground, and while it was definitely an exhausting trek, it was worth every single step. Echo expertly guided us through the Temple of Heaven, found a great local spot for lunch to help us refuel, and then navigated us through the vast history of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. We capped off the day by hiking up Jingshan Park—right north of the palace—for a perfect panoramic view. Echo's deep knowledge and energy kept us engaged the entire time. Highly recommend her if you want a comprehensive, boots-on-the-ground exploration of Beijing's best!

Die Tour mit Roi war echt super! Er hat uns einen spannenden Einblick rund um die Geschichte Chinas und Pekings gegeben. Wir können die Tour jedem empfehlen. Vielen Dank!:)
