So glad to organise an event tht everyone was pleased by.......
If ever there was a venue whose menu perfectly fits its ambience this is it! Sixteen of us sat down to celebrate joint 40th birthdays and the whole experience couldn't have been bettered. There's not a vast choice but from the small plates ( butterfly prawns, sausage bites, mac and cheese, etc.) through to mains (burgers, tacos, salt beef sarnies, pizzas ) it was perfection. We'd pre ordered ,being a large party, and having arrived as planned at 1230hrs and ordered drinks our food was served on the dot of 1245hrs, as agreed. We were a diverse group from 2 to septuagenarian and everyone thought it was great. We'll be back again and from the compliments flying about so will all our guests

Great tour
We had a great tour with Becci. She was very knowledgeable and a fun person to spend the evening with. Some of the food was a bit outside our comfort zone for most of us but my husband gave everything a try. Becci was also really helpful with assisting us with our other travel plans.

Great tour!
We had Cactus as our guide and she was fantastic. She took us to several restaurants where we got to eat traditional dishes. She gave us great information about the food and the history of the food and culture. This was a highlight of our trip to Beijing! If you want a fabulous evening with great food and history this is for you. I highly recommend it.

Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing?
+
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 Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing?
+
Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Evening Food Private Tour with Brewery Taproom Hopping at Slow Boat in Beijing 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.
