Beijing Hutong Walking Food and Beer Tour at Hidden Restaurants

Meet your guide and group of 12 or fewer at an easy-to-find central location near Beijing’s Lama Temple. Then, set off on foot into the crooked alleys and courtyards of the city’s old hutongs—Beijing’s original residential districts. Absorb the historical atmosphere and as you explore, learn about traditional daily life here, including local cuisine. Delve into the bustling lanes and enjoy up to five food stops to sample local specialties, heading off the beaten path to homes or small family restaurants that you wouldn’t find alone. At each stop, sample a local staple and learn how it’s been made in the same way for generations. Dishes may vary, but expect to savor noodles at a private home, grill meat on open flames, and wrap ingredients into freshly made Beijing wraps. Between tastings, chat with your guide over unlimited local beer, and finish with more beer—this time courtesy of a local brewery. Sample one of Beijing’s best craft beers at this hutong bar and enjoy a glass of your chosen brew. Your tour finishes in the area when your guide departs, leaving you with directions back to your hotel or tips on exploring further.
