About operator:

Get off the beaten path and eat where the locals eat by zooming your way around Beijing on your own tuktuk! We only stop at local, family run stops that you (or any other tourist) would never find on your own. Grill meat over a flame, eat in a hutong house, try fresh Beijing pancakes, and visit a local brewery. Our food tours include unlimited food and drinks (including beer).
