We had a great time on our Great Wall tour with them! The price was reasonable, the service was reliable, and our guide was really helpful. She even went out of her way to help us sort out our high-speed train tickets to Weifang, where we were planning to visit a small factory. We really appreciated that! We enjoyed the first tour so much that we decided to book another one to explore Beijing in a different way. This time, Peng was our guide, and he was super friendly and full of interesting stories. In just four hours, we got to see a different side of Beijing and get a real feel for local life and the city’s history. Both tours were great, and we’d happily recommend them to anyone visiting Beijing!

We were so lucky to have Victoria as our guide. She was warm and fun and flexible and gave just the right amount of information. She took us to some hutongs and other spots that would be impossible to visit with a larger group. One of the best tour guides yet!
A lovely morning with Amanda, our kind and friendly guide. She smoothly and efficiently met us at the hotel, whisking us off on hire bikes through the city. We took in many of the city highlights by bike, getting a real feel for the city on our first day in China. She amended our tour to fit in a traditional market and joined us for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant to finish off our whistle stop tour! Thank you!
Olivia was our guide & she was fabulous! She changed the itinerary to suit us and was so much fun!
It was a brilliant way to see Beijing and Kathleen was a great guide. I would recommend this trip as a fun way to see the sights.
Great tour, great service Amanda did a fantastic job
Our bike ride in Beijing with Amanda was an excellent experience. She was punctual, welcoming (even with a thoughtful gift ❤️), and made the ride smooth and enjoyable. Her passion and dedication really stood out—she explained everything clearly, took us through the hutongs, and even shared a lovely personal moment by introducing us to her cat. Lunch was delicious at her recommended hot pot spot, and she was incredibly helpful during our bargaining moments. We highly recommend touring with Amanda—our children especially loved her, which made the day even more special. 100% recommend!
We are a family of five from London and had a wonderful time exploring Beijing with our guide, David. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made sure to stop occasionally during the bike tour so we could take great photos and hear the stories behind the sights. He also took excellent care of our kids throughout the journey. We truly enjoyed this bike tour and highly recommend it!
This is a great way to see Beijing - Sunny was an excellent guide, and we managed to cycle nearly 15 miles through some of the most iconic sites of the city. This is a really fun and worthwhile tour. * Recommend ensuring positive comms with the tour operator in advance. We had some trouble with this, leading to some coordination issues. Otherwise, no complaints for this excellent tour.
My friend Eve and I loved this 4-hour bike tour through Beijing’s historic old town. We cycled past iconic sights like the Lama Temple, Drum Tower, Houhai Lake, Jingshan Park, the Forbidden City, and Nanchizi Street. Our guide summer was knowledgeable and made the ride fun and insightful. It was the perfect way to explore the real Beijing — a great mix of culture, history, and local life. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an active and authentic experience in Beijing!
This is the best bike tour in Beijing. We got to see the most traditional part of Beijing. Our guide Leo made several stops for us to take pictures and he explained tons of historical information for us about Beijing. Tour is reasonable priced with bike fee included. We would say autumn is the best season to do this tour with a guide because of the fall foliages. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!!
I was picked up at my hotel and we had a wonderful ride around the city. We saw the Bell and Drum Towers. We saw the Old City. We rode past many other sites of cultural significance such as Tiananmen Square and Embassy Row. I was very pleased with the bike ride and I liked my guide very much. He answered all my questions thoroughly and with candor. I appreciated his insights about culture and economics. I'm very glad I took this bike tour.
I enjoyed the ride along the bike paths and roads of the city. We stopped by many historical sites to hear about the cultural significance. Cynthia was an amazing guide, who not only gave a wonderful bike tour, but also helped to make sure the rest of my stay was sorted out.
We had great time with our guide Jenny through the biking tour in Beijing. We love cycling so we came up with the idea of having a bike tour. Jenny presented us a unique Pekin through cycling along the Changan avenue, drum and bell tower Hutongs, Imperial academy street, Ming dynasty city wall. We even stopped by to visit the lama temple inside, and climbed up to the charcoal hill for enjoying a panoramic view of downtown Beijing. We were amazed by the wonderful view of forbidden city right under the charcoal hill. We also stopped by a local café in Hutong just for a break and chitchat. The cycling was only 4 hours but we felt like we have learnt a lot about Beijing. If you are looking for an authentic tour that is away from the hustle and bustle, this bike tour is 100% recommended to you from our experience.
Very friendly and open-minded tour guide. Tour could be easily adapted to our wishes. We even got help at the end of the tour to pick up our tickets for the forbidden city. Highly recommended.
