The 4 Best 3-Hour Experiences in Beijing

1.3-Hour Private Night Tour: Beijing Foodie Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · from $79Our pick

Taste Beijing’s best night snacks in Dongsi Hutong, from lamb kabobs and tanjianbing to Yunnan noodles, with a private local guide.

“We really enjoyed this tour and our guide was great! We tried many different foods which we would not find in Europe and would not search out. There was plenty of food for really big eaters so make sure you are hungry before going. The only suggestion would be to offer different food tours as we understand there are also a couple 'snack' streets which would be a nice option as well.”

Then had some delicious food including pork dumplings and hand pulled noodles. Left very happy and full! Would definitely recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4 reviews · 3 hours · from $33Best value

Explore Beijing’s Summer Palace with an English-speaking guide, entry ticket, Kunming Lake, the Long Corridor, and the Marble Boat.

“We had an incredibly special day with Gary on our very first day in Beijing. It was absolutely worth it and even more than we hoped for. Gary is a true fan of history, and you can really feel that in everything he shares. His knowledge goes deep, and he takes the time to explain even the smallest details. We could ask him anything, and every question was met with thoughtful, passionate answers. A perfect way to start our time in Beijing. Highly recommended.”
