We had a lovely time, the food was great and the conversation was friendly 😊 we even had some food to bring home
Wonderful guide. Very accommodating and helpful. Easy to communicate with. Would recommend!
Fantastic 3 hours spent exploring Beijing through tasty Authentic meals. Met a tour guide in a hotel lobby, took a metro together, shared stories and laughs while eating way too much food. Luckily I had a second half of the day open to walk it off in a park overlooking Forbidden City
We had a wonderful food tour with Richard! Everything was delicious and he showed us many great local spots. Meeting us at our hotel and being very communicative in advance were huge bonuses, too. A great way to kick off our first day in the city! Be sure to bring your appetite - everything is great and portions are generous!
Amazing food experience, tried lots of delicious food, and also took plenty back to the hotel as we couldn’t finish it all in one sitting. Very good value, excellent to be able to eat in local restaurants and experience the local culture Richard was very friendly, and made the whole experience super easy, such a lot of passion for the food and the places we went! Met us at the hotel and even helped us navigate the subway to the restaurant area! Would highly recommend this experience if you are in Beijing!
A great tour with Richard, he picked us up from our hotel and showed us how to use the metro which was very welcome in our first day in Beijing. Very friendly,.with great knowledge and plenty of amazing food stops, come very hungry!!!
It was an amazing experience with great food and a fantastic guide!
Richard is a very nice guide and the food was really good!
It was just me on this day and Richard provided a great experience. All the food selections were great and I had a great time.

Richard was a super star! I booked this last minute as I was only in Beijing for 2 nights and needed to start the tour around 5pm and also wanted to try real Chinese food that are strange for westerners. Richard took me to eat tripes, chicken feet, pork skin, dumplings, and donkey meat (and probably more!) and everything was so delicious and authentic! He took so many photos and videos of me for the memories. Really recommend booking with him - very knowledgeable, kind and funny. He even had a calligraphy gift for me at the end. Thank you Richard for a great evening and sharing your local intel with me!
Richard was a lovely guide who exposed us to some authentic delicacies loved by the locals. The tastes and ingredients were delicious! There were no chicken feet or intestines in the menu so I was happy!
Richard Lee was our guide and he was very personable and made the experience interesting! He was keen to make it very memorable for us and offered to capture the whole experience via photos and videos along the way! The food selections were authentic as well as delicious! Perfect palatable choices for someone like me who is not too adventurous when it comes to certain meat/seafood ingredients! Thank you Richard for your thoughtful gift which will be a lovely reminder of the tour!
Richard is an excellent guide. He is informative, interesting and very focused on making sure his tour guests have a great time. I really enjoyed his choice of food venues and actual dishes!!
We had an amazing time with Mr. Richard. He gave us an amazing tour and helped us take pictures which we really like. The foods presented were delicious and the tour overall was very well put together. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in Beijing
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Lee from one world one heart. He introduced us to various foods and places we would have never thought to visit. It was a 10/10 experience. He was very welcoming and kind. 10/10 experience.
What a fantastic way to experience Beijing! We were collected us from our hotel lobby right on time, and after a short walk, the eating began… and it didn’t really stop! 😂 We tried so many delicious local foods, including dumplings, noodles, candied apples, egg wraps and lots of other treats along the way. It was brilliant getting to try authentic food that we probably wouldn’t have known to order or even where to find ourselves. Our guide made the whole experience relaxed, enjoyable and really interesting. We finished the tour with VERY full bellies, happy faces and a great introduction to Beijing’s food scene. Come hungry - you definitely won’t leave that way! Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a great food tour with a wonderfully positive person, Li. We tasted so many delicious dishes and had so much food. Come hungry. Li is organized, fluent in English and has a lovely heart. I can’t recommend this tour more highly.
We had a great day with Li! Thank you for a fun day with delicious food. We tried many yummy things like candy crab apple, 2 types of dumplings and longevity noodles. I recommend this tour very much.
Li was funny, and very knowledgeable. We had fun with him. All the places he took us too was SO YUMMY! We tried 2 Types of dumplings, and many other yummy things like candy crab apple and longevity noodles. He is very sweet and we enjoyed our time with him very much. Thank you Li for a wonderful last day in Beijing.
I booked this tour based on very strong recommendations found on Viator . We met Richard and Right of the bat he recommended for us to go to a “tea ceremony.” which was actually just a trip to the store where the experience had nothing to do with tea ceremony and more with hard selling a very expensive canisters of loose tea. because we didn’t buy anything they asked us to pay hundred yuan just for the service and we had to pay for a taxi..None of this was mentioneed in the description of the tour . The the whole time that he spent taking us to places, he was trying to either take pictures of us or videotaping us eating in order to promote his business. Mind you , Richard never asked our permission to do so. It got so intrusive and annoying that I had to ask him very firmly to stop taking pictures of us.. He had this very nervous energy about him. He just could not stop talking about various subjects unrelated to food and at some point we just stopped listening.
Really good, i happend to be the only one there becase i went a day apparently there was no one else, it was so funny and fun i ate till a basically exploded
Richard was a delightful guide. From the communication before the tour, picking us up a d dropping us off at our hotel and taking us around the district in Beijing to eat, this tour was went beyond our expectations. The local restaurants and foods selected were delicious and Richard explained everything g that we were eating . Richard was kind, funny and thoughtful. Highly recommend this tour!
This tour was amazing!! Richard was so friendly and knowledgeable. He knew all the best spots in Beijing where we could get all the best food. Savory crepes, noodles, dumplings and more, make sure you come hungry!! Couldn’t recommend this more.
Richard is sensational! Incredibly friendly and kind. He takes you to wonderful restaurants where you can eat like a local. Everyone must do this when going to Beijing. Couldn’t recommend more!
Really great food tour. It ended up being 1:1 and there was loads of food, including plenty to take away. Richard was very attentive and flexible, and was happy to adapt the tour as we went. He also gave me some lovely calligraphy things for free, which was a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend!
A wonderful experience. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Richard Li was very entertaining. Really enjoyed the tea ceremony. Recommend.
Great tour make sure you are hungry as there is lots of good. My faves were the tea ceremony, crepe and dessert!! So good. Richard is a crack up and takes lots of great photos. My friend and I were in stitches the whole time. Katrina ZL from Australia
From the very beginning Richard was amazing, he collected me from the hotel in the pouring rain. He is delightful company and very knowledgeable. This is an incredible way to experience Beijing's street food. The food was fantastic and being able to experience the street food with a local was a truly wonderful experience. I definitely recommend this tour, you will leave with a very full tummy having had a real authentic food experience.
A lot of tasty food, we especially enjoyed the dumplings. Ensure to come to the tour hungry.
We did the Experience Beijing Walking Food Tour Private with Richard, and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our time in Beijing. Most importantly, the food we ate on this tour was the best food we had during our entire trip to China—and we ate a LOT of great food! Richard really knows his stuff. He knows exactly where to go, what to order, and where to find the places you would probably never discover on your own. We loved getting away from the more touristy dining experiences and trying fantastic local food at places that felt authentic and genuinely special. Richard was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly knows Beijing's food scene inside and out. He explained what we were eating, introduced us to different dishes and flavors, and made the whole experience fun and comfortable. If you're going to Beijing and you love food, take this tour—and ask for Richard! Come hungry, because you'll eat incredibly well. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Hands down, our favorite food experience in China.
Excellent taste of Beijing. The soup dumplings were absolutely amazing. Our guide Richard was fantastic and had a great personality.
Great energy! Highly recommend this food tour!
7 stops at local restaurants; the food is highly recommended, especially the noodles and dumplings; Richard is a great guide
Richard was an AMAZING tour guide, he took us around the city and showed us delicious local food and local tips. 100% recommend. Come hungry!!!!
This tour is a must! Richard was absolutely wonderful and the food was amazing. He spoke very good English and paid attention to the details. We visited various restaurants serving popular local dishes that were superb. If you get the opportunity you must take it. One World! One Heart!
We had a great time with Richard as our guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we got so much food. Come very hungry, and you will probably still take food home. My sister and I went together and she had actually done a calligraphy class with Richard a year ago when she was in Beijing. Next time we’re in town we’ll reach out to Richard for another tour.
Last year I was in Beijing and did the water color and calligraphy classes with Richard and had a great time. This year I’m back in Beijing with my sister who booked this food tour, when meeting our guide I was surprised to find that it was Richard from last year. Such a small world, we got to catch up and reminisce on photos from last year. I met him on my first day in China in 2025 and I’m ending my last day here in 2026 on another lovely tour led by him. If you book this tour be prepared to eat a lot of food and maybe even bring some home. Excellent dishes and spots to eat. We are full and happy.
Get off the central busy streets and try some amazing dishes that are filled w love. We came hungry and left stuffed. Richard has great energy and makes your experience wonderful
Come hungry! Richard was an excellent guide picking amazing cuisine for us to try. He added a grocery store visit and a tea experience. He even helped guide us on the subway. Wonderful afternoon event. Highly recommend!
Thanks Richard, we loved the few hours we spent together. Local food, local people local knowledge.
Richard was an excellent guide. He was very friendly and professional throughout, and very happy to talk to me about his experiences as a Buddhist. He took me to lots of local places and I had so much delicious food like dumplings, jian bing & noodles, everything was so flavourful and it was great to be able to eat the same way as the locals.
All I can say is wow! Richard was amazing, One World, One Heart, to take me to numerous locals restaurants and he explained to me everything about what I was eating and its history. If you want an amazing food tour in Beijing, make sure you sign up for tour with Richard. You can’t go wrong! When I return, I will book my next food tour with Richard
Warning - don’t eat breakfast beforehand! You will take a whirlwind tour of several local establishments and try numerous dishes. Richard was a great host. Highly recommended!
The food was very good and the guide was very friendly and spoke good English. He was also very flexible about late pickup. The location was very cool backstreets in inner Beijing so it felt very local. This tour is perfect if your looking to get a taste of the real china.
We had a really good experience! We went to a lot of great restaurants and had some flavorful tastings! Thank you Richard, we really enjoyed the tour!
Great variety of food, customizable, fun! Robert even took us to a grocery store. It was good to see everything.
My son and I absolutely loved our food tour with Richard. He is so warm and welcoming. He greeted us with a big smile and we were off! We loved all the stops he took us to. It’s clear he has thoughtfully planned where he wants to take his guests. Richard clearly loves to serve others and loves to share some of what Beijing has to offer. We loved all the information he shared about the food and places we were eating. It truly was a special experience. I highly recommend taking this food tour!
We had an amazing time with Richard, our tour guide. He took us to 7 different spots and we ate at local food establishments . The food quality was amazing and Richard was very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended tour and tour guide. 5 stars
