Your hutong gastronomic experience will take you to family home from pre-Hispanic food to contemporary cuisine, from 100 year old Mongolian hotpot to family operated BBQ; all this in a 3-hour stroll through the 1000-year-old historic hutongs. In the hutong alleys, you’ll see hutong stores, vegetable shops, and local residences and courtyards. Your guide will share the legends of this vibrant metropolis, helping you to travel through time, taking you to numerous restaurants to see and eat a lot of street delicilous food, some typical Family Noodles, Beijing Wraps, BBQ cooking, and tasting local beers including one pint of homemade draft beer or several Beijing sodas. At the last stop, you will have a cup of fresh hand-made yoghurt or frozen yoghurt pop. You’ll end your tour armed with recommendations for the rest of your trip and a happy and full stomach.

Truly memorable

Angela was an amazing guide. We felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. Not only did we eat amazing food, but we got to know the neighborhood and enjoy a fun evening. Since we did this our first night in Beijing it helped know places to go back to in the following days.

Discovering Beijing’s Cuisines with a Great Guide

We came from Poland (Europe) and had an amazing Hutong food and beer tour with Adam! Adam from Catherine Lu tour group was a wonderful guide who took me and my friend to several restaurants in Beijing, where he introduced us to different Chinese and Beijing cuisines. We were able to try Manchu, Beijing, Mongolian, Muslim, and Khitan dishes, and he explained their history and traditions in an engaging way. Highly recommended!

Old Beijing Hutong Food & Beer Tour

My husband and I, along with another couple, booked the Old Beijing Hutong Food & Beer Tour on August 31st and had a fantastic experience. Our guide, Adam, was excellent—knowledgeable about the area's history and culture, and made the tour both engaging and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the Hutong while enjoying a great variety of food and drinks.

Hutong Banquet in Beijing

We had an amazing time on the Hutong Food Tour with Adam, covering a huge range of ethnic cuisines and colors of flavor. One price gets you a LOT of food--I might recommend skipping lunch altogether that day in preparation (lol). This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of my family's summer travels through China. We would never have found these little out-of-the-way dining gems on our own. Thanks to Adam for his careful research and to Catherine Lu Tours.

Amazing food!

This tour was our last one right before we had to leave for the airport. Our tour guide was James. He took us on the subway for a breakfast walking food tour. We went to about 5 restaurants, maybe even 6. He already had it all planned and had our food ordered pretty quickly. The food was amazing and very good. Even though we only had a short amount of time due to the fact that we had to leave for the airport, he still managed to have us taste so many amazing breakfast dishes. A good end t...read more
