Great tour!
Our beer and walking tour in Beijing was awesome! Our guide Haitao knew all the inns and outs of the city and was very Thanks for the great time Haitao!

Eat your way through Beijing
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Winnie. We experienced the Great Wall and and took the slide back down the mountain. It was so much fun! The foods we tried at each of our many stops were as interesting as they were tasty. These spots have been perfectly selected by Lost Plate to offer an introduction to the regional specialties. We would do it over again if we could!
Response from the operator: Thanks for spending part of your trip with us in Beijing! Glad Winnie made the experience stand out for you.

A great day in Beijing!
This all-day tour was very well-organized, and our guide Haitao navigated us through the tickets, the security, the restaurants, and the crowded streets with cheerful confidence. He made sure that we had enough time to see everything, enough water to keep us going, and more than enough really great food. He was friendly, on top of all the details, talked to each of us in turn, and answered all our many questions. The tour itself was well-designed, from the Great Wall and spectacular scenery in the morning, to busy shopping streets around a quiet urban lake in the afternoon, and finishing up with a foodie's paradise ramble through the back streets of our neighbourhood. I would certainly recommend this tour and especially our guide.
Response from the operator: Haitao really kept your day smooth and easy! I’m glad you had enough time to take in the Great Wall and still end with that food-focused wander through the back streets near your neighborhood.

Exceptional Experience, pure Excellence!
This is an absolute premium Tour, i don´t think i´ve ever had any better and i do a lot of guided tours. Specifically our Tour Guide Haitao was exceptionally professional, kind, communicative (spoke perfect English as well) and made that whole trip feel like we would be accompanied by a friend rather than a Person you do business with. Also the driver was real fun, he had a very special Chines VIP car which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. I strongly have to recommend this tour specifically with Tour Guide Haitao it´s a 11/10!
Response from the operator: Haitao clearly made your Beijing day feel easy and personal, and that friend-like feeling came through so strongly in your note. We also loved reading that the special car made the whole trip even more enjoyable for you!

Best tour guide ever!!!
We had a small group of 5. Our guide, Hitau, was exceptional. Kind, generous, patient, funny! He made the experience even more memorable! You have a rare gem in that human being.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that Hitau made your tour exceptional. Our team takes great pride in providing unforgettable experiences, and we will ensure that your compliments reach him. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for more amazing adventures!

Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $324 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Beijing Full Day Tour Great Wall Hutongs and Evening Food Tour?
+
Included: Comfortable Van Transportation; China Travel Guide PDF; Great Wall Cablecar + Toboggan Slide; Hotel Pick-Up; and Evening Hutong Food Tour of 4+ Stops. Not included: Hotel Drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 23 listed pickup locations in and around Beijing. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
