We had an excellent day with James. He was knowledgeable, flexible and always looking out for his customers. We did a tour of the Forbidden City museum which started at Tiananmen Square and added on a food tour across several Hutongs. The first half is a must for any traveller to Beijing but it was the food tour that truly delighted. James brought us to many holes-in-wall we wouldn’t have found on our own, inviting us to try a range of dishes that only the locals eat. He would explain to us what they were, how to eat them, and why they were popular in this part of China. The evening was exciting and delicious. Thank you for a great day!
