Beijing City walk is highly recommendable! - I did not include exploring Hutongs in our itinerary because I'm travelling with a minor and afraid we might got lost but MUBUS and Eevee make it possible. We had an absolutely fantastic time with Eevee. She was friendly, energetic and spoke English perfectly. Her knowledge of the local history and culture was incredible, and brought the sights to life with engaging stories. We enjoyed our last night in Beijing and became a memorable one. It's worth it!

Great Hutong Walk with Eevee⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Hutong Walk with Eevee
Eevee was super helpful, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Her English is excellent (she’s an English teacher and studied in Europe), which really helped break the language barrier.
The walk felt like exploring Old Beijing and the hutongs with a new local friend, especially enjoyable in the evening. Highly recommended — thank you Eevee! ❤️

Very cool tour - We took a guided tour of the city. Very much enjoyed, the guide explained well, constantly clarified our needs, regularly took pictures, answered all questions. In principle, the tour was built around our requests. Showed a lot of interesting places we wouldn't go ourselves. I'm very pleased with the tour.

Great Tour and an even better Tour guide - What a great experience despite the falling snow. It was incredibly cold but we still enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide Summer was incredibly knowledgeable but also very approachable at the same time. We wouldn't have known all these amazing facts about Old Beijing if we hadn't taken the tour. It's highly recommended and we are seasoned travellers.

Thanks Kevin! - Thank you to Kevin for an amazing tour of the hutongs!
Whilst I have earlier tried to make my own way through the hutongs before it definitely helps having a great knowledagble guide like Kevin.
He knew so much about the history and showed it. He also did not hesitate to answer my many questions.
As a personal touch given our small group Kevin gave us his recommendations for his favourite foods and snacks along the routes, and made sure to warn us if we were about to fall into a tourist trap.
Having done the night tour I look forward to doing the day tour next time, and I sure hope Kevin is my guide again.
Thanks Kevin for such a warm (despite the weather) and authentic experience of Old Beijing.!

Suggestive - With us they were very nice as we moved our visit to the next day and this happened without inconvenience. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Kevin, our guide, who accompanied us to the hutongs telling us the story , recommended places to "try the story in our mouths" with traditional sweets and answered our questions. We tried more than one dish going from sweet to savory and vice versa. The walk lasted about 2 hours and it is really worth it!
Kevin is the best! Congratulations!!!
