Free tours a Pechino

Loved it!

Roy is super informative and very entertaining, he made sure to always keep us engaged in the history of the place, so it was never boring or tiring.

Roy has provided us with a very accommodating and pleasurable tour of the Imperial Town. Likewise, we deeply appreciate his insights into China and advice around Beijing.

Hao was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgable and kind. The tour was a good pace and we learnt a lot. Thanks so much Hao!

Espectacular la experiencia se nota que es un apasionado del Templo del Cielo y su trabajo. Estaba yo sola para el tour y me ofreció hacerlo igual, en modo free tour. Se que otros guías lo cancelan o intentan cobrarlo privado. Una maravilla todo, muy recomendable y lo felicito por su trabajo.

We were on a tour of the hutongs. Roy's story was fascinating. We learned a lot of new things. I recommend this tour. Roy showed the best places and shops, many thanks to him.

Roy was a very professional guide. He explained very well and with perfect english. He also provided several recommendations for our trip.

El entusiasmo de Roy es contagiosa, es un amante de su profesión y de la historia de su país. Totalmente recomendable.

Great way to learn about Beijing hutongs.

Roy is a tremendous guide, and he was an asset to my first visit to Beijing. This was my second tour with him, and I was pleased and impressed by his attention to detail. The history of the Summer Palace is long and complex, but Roy lays it out in a way that is gripping, entertaining, full of humour, warmth and brilliant anecdotes. I have had my share of guides, but few (if any) have had the breadth and depth of knowledge that Roy has. Roy engages you, asking good questions and really involving you in his tours. If you're in Beijing, then one of the best things you can do is to book a tour with him. He's an amiable and personable guide who brings the story of Beijing alive, from servants to emperors.

I am thoroughly impressed with Roy. His communication is excellent, providing exact and easy to follow directions to the meeting point and setting out expectations in advance. He came punctually and very well-prepared with graphs, illustrations and pictures to help explain the information he provided. Roy is a consummate professional. Other than being well-organised and prepared, he is a wealth of information.He really wants you to get the absolute most out of your experience. He is thorough in his explanations. He explains even the most complex traditions in a straightforward, easy-to-follow manner and thoroughly engaging manner. His choice of sites to see was top-notch, and his discussion of them was a solid balance of history and current issues. I look forward to seeing Roy again on my next trip to Beijing.

Thanks Hao, for a very interesting and clear sharing of hutong and key locations we visited.

Roy is a great guide, very friendly and eager to show his city and culture to visitors.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. Our group was a mix between Chinese and English and Zhang was kindly accommodative throughout the walk.

Thanks a Lot for this interesting tour 🙏🙏 I appreciate. Claudia

Roy's tour was very informative, interactive and entertaining. Roy is a kind and courteous professional tour guide who can always draw on a lot of knowledge and experience. We now have a much better understanding of the imperial city, Beijing and society in general. If we had more time left here, we would also like to join his other tours.

Very interesting and nice tour. Our guide was great and speaks very good English

Thanks for very insightful and entertaining Beijing tour! Really appreciate the opportunity to communicate with local guide and learn new facts only local can know 🙏

What a lovely tour! I had learnt so much about the history and hutong. Chinese ppl live in such a chill way, and our guide has made the experience so fun and engaging! I get to understand a lot of social topics too. I always love go for free walking tours when I travel, I feel this is the best way to explore as a local. This is one of the best I ever had! Highly recommend!

The Summer Palace Walking Tour was my first walking tour with Roy. I did three walking tours with Roy during my stay in Beijing and loved every single one. Before the tour, Roy contacted me to ensure I would be able to find my way to the meeting point. On the day of the tour, Roy met me promptly at the meeting point and explained the different ticketing options I had at the entrance of the Summer Palace. As it was a low-tourism period, I was the only person on the tour, and I was super appreciative that Roy was still willing and enthusiastic about taking me on this tour. At the end of the tour, Roy suggested other walking routes around the Summer Palace. I took his advice and stayed at the Summer Palace until closing time. Not only did I get my steps in, but I also took some great photos and memories. Roy's engaging storytelling made time pass quickly. Although I initially planned to visit the Summer Palace alone, I'm glad I had Roy, as I learnt so much during the tour. This was one of the reasons I decided to book more than one walking tour with Roy. Also, Roy's English is pristine, and he communicated the vast history of the Summer Palace clearly and precisely. Book Roy's tour - you won't regret it.

I am very grateful to Kris (our guide) for this wonderful walk. I.ve new a lot about Chinese history, culture and modern lifestyle. I enjoyed every moment of our excursion! Thanks a lot again! Best wishes from Belarus

I had an incredible experience on this walking tour in Beijing! Roy was the perfect guide—super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Chinese history and culture. I learned so much throughout the tour, and he was always happy to answer all my questions. On top of that, he gave me countless recommendations for the rest of my stay, especially for local food, which made my trip even better. This tour gave me a much deeper understanding of Beijing and Chinese culture, and I couldn’t recommend it more. A must-do for anyone visiting!

I had an amazing experience with Leon as my guide in the temple of heaven. As he just started to offer this tour, it was very private and I could address all my questions at any time. His deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made every moment of our tour unforgettable. He was professional, friendly, and always went the extra mile to ensure I had the best experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and insightful tour!

Super interesting especially when he gives historical details that you would otherwise completely not understand. Very charismatic!

We took this free guided tour in Beijing led by the wonderful Kris who gave us an informative insight into the lives of the locals - especially those that live in the Hutong (small often one room areas) in the city. As well as interesting and vibrant shopping streets and the traditional food and restaurant areas. She spoke freely and eloquently about all subjects and answered all our questions about life in China.Can highly recommend this tour and guide. Thank you.
