This small-group walking tour lasts about three hours and takes you through a traditional hutong neighborhood in Beijing. You visit more than five local food stalls and eateries, sampling unlimited breakfast dishes and drinks along the way. An English-speaking guide leads the group, which has fewer than 10 people, providing insight into daily life in this less touristy area. Stops include a local market inside a converted factory, where you try zongzi, a glutinous rice dumpling with seasoned pork made from a family recipe. You also taste douzhi, a fermented mung bean soup recognized by Michelin, known for its strong flavor. Another stop features crispy sesame flatbread filled with cured beef and a bowl of tofu pudding served by a longtime local vendor. The tour also includes a walk through historic hutong lanes where you learn about the meaning of stone doorway pillars, color-coded street signs, and how to tell the number of families sharing a courtyard. The final stop offers one of Beijing’s best coffees paired with a view. Bottled water is provided throughout the tour. Gratuities are not included.
