Beijing is at the heart of Chinese history and culture. It is a must-see destination for visitors to China. Unfortunately, for the average visitor, Beijing is hard to navigate and hard to penetrate – just try entering a local restaurant and ordering a few of your favorites and you’ll see what we mean.
I am an Asia-based Lonely Planet guidebook writer who spends part of each year in Beijing. I have selected a small group of extremely knowledgeable and personable guides to offer private tours of the city. My guides are either English-speaking Beijing Chinese or long-term foreign residents of Beijing.
In either case, my guides speak Chinese and have expert knowledge of the city and Chinese culture. Together, we have sought out the best temples, walks, restaurants, shops and accommodations. Based on this, we have designed several tours that take in the very best that Beijing has to offer – some must-see attractions that lie on the beaten track, but lots of secret spots that are unknown even to most locals.
We can also provide restaurant and accommodation recommendations and bookings. And we can take you to the best and most interesting shops, where you can purchase wonderful Chinese products, both traditional and modern, for yourself or the folks back home. Please join us for an inside look at this exciting city!
Please note that this is a private venture operated by Chris Rowthorn. It is not operated by or affiliated with Lonely Planet guidebooks.
Notes:
- Price is per group, not per-person. Price is for our full-day walking tour, which takes six hours. We can also arrange private car service for the day, so you only walk the sections you want to. Payment is possible in US, Euro or Chinese Yuan cash, or in advance by credit card.
