The experience
An evening hutong food crawl ending at a craft brewery.
An evening walking tour, capped at 12 guests, through Beijing’s old hutong alleyways, with four food stops at family restaurants and homes that most visitors would never find alone — Beijing hotpot, noodles, beef buns and spring pancakes among them.
Unlimited local beer and soft drinks run throughout, and the tour ends with a pint of craft beer at a hutong brewery, passing Shichahai, the Drum Tower and Nanluoguxiang along the way.

Who this suits
A good choice when it matches the way you want to use the city.
- An evening introduction to Beijing’s food scene rather than a sit-down restaurant.
- Travellers happy to eat a full meal across four stops rather than one sitting.
- A relaxed, beer-included pace rather than a strictly guided march between sights.
