Must do in Beijing - Very friendly and open-minded tour guide. Tour could be easily adapted to our wishes. We even got help at the end of the tour to pick up our tickets for the forbidden city. Highly recommended.

An Unforgettable Beijing Adventure with Amanda - Our bike ride in Beijing with Amanda was an excellent experience. She was punctual, welcoming (even with a thoughtful gift ❤️), and made the ride smooth and enjoyable. Her passion and dedication really stood out—she explained everything clearly, took us through the hutongs, and even shared a lovely personal moment by introducing us to her cat. Lunch was delicious at her recommended hot pot spot, and she was incredibly helpful during our bargaining moments. We highly recommend touring with Amanda—our children especially loved her, which made the day even more special. 100% recommend!

excellent - We are a family of five from London and had a wonderful time exploring Beijing with our guide, David. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made sure to stop occasionally during the bike tour so we could take great photos and hear the stories behind the sights. He also took excellent care of our kids throughout the journey. We truly enjoyed this bike tour and highly recommend it!

Really fun and worthwhile tour - This is a great way to see Beijing - Sunny was an excellent guide, and we managed to cycle nearly 15 miles through some of the most iconic sites of the city. This is a really fun and worthwhile tour. * Recommend ensuring positive comms with the tour operator in advance. We had some trouble with this, leading to some coordination issues. Otherwise, no complaints for this excellent tour.

Amazing Bike Tour of Beijing’s Hidden Gems! - My friend Eve and I loved this 4-hour bike tour through Beijing’s historic old town. We cycled past iconic sights like the Lama Temple, Drum Tower, Houhai Lake, Jingshan Park, the Forbidden City, and Nanchizi Street. Our guide summer was knowledgeable and made the ride fun and insightful. It was the perfect way to explore the real Beijing — a great mix of culture, history, and local life. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an active and authentic experience in Beijing!

Best bike tour in Beijing - This is the best bike tour in Beijing. We got to see the most traditional part of Beijing. Our guide Leo made several stops for us to take pictures and he explained tons of historical information for us about Beijing. Tour is reasonable priced with bike fee included. We would say autumn is the best season to do this tour with a guide because of the fall foliages. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!!

Biking in Beijing - I enjoyed the ride along the bike paths and roads of the city. We stopped by many historical sites to hear about the cultural significance. Cynthia was an amazing guide, who not only gave a wonderful bike tour, but also helped to make sure the rest of my stay was sorted out.

So much to see! - I was picked up at my hotel and we had a wonderful ride around the city. We saw the Bell and Drum Towers. We saw the Old City. We rode past many other sites of cultural significance such as Tiananmen Square and Embassy Row. I was very pleased with the bike ride and I liked my guide very much. He answered all my questions thoroughly and with candor. I appreciated his insights about culture and economics. I'm very glad I took this bike tour.
