Old Beijing Dinner Tour

I am very well traveled (over 30 countries) and have done food tours and cooking classes all over the world so I’ve encountered quite a range of good to not so great experiences while “chasing food” and I would say that this food tour ranks among the most enjoyable and well put together food experiences across any that I can remember in the last 25 years - delightfully unpredictable or unpredictably delightful would be my caption. We spent the evening with Jesus and not only was he engaging and quite fun conversationally, he had put together very unique and unexpected approach to a culinary walk in Beijing and it far exceeded all expectations and I just can’t recommend him and UnTour strongly enough. I now can’t wait to go back to Shanghai and see what awaits me there with UnTour.

Rita and Jesus were fabulous hosts. A fantastic night wandering around trying very interesting foods

When we saw that the guide was named Jesus and found out he was American doing a Beijing food tour we were a bit sceptical. We could not have been more wrong. We have done multiple food tours in Asia and Europe and Jesus was far and away the best guide we have had - warm, generous, entertaining and very knowledgeable. There was an interesting combination of food experiences - not all to our taste but that is the point of a tour like this - and some great rice wine tastings which was unexpected but a highlight.

Excellent tour guide His Deep knowledge of the city, very friendly had a great time

We did a food tour with Jésus and Lime. It was SO much fun! Everything was organized meticulously. The food was delicious (and bountiful), and the company was excellent :) We were introduced to many foods we had never tasted before. I learned a lot and enjoyed every second. I left very full & happy! I would recommend this tour (with these guides!) greatly. Thank you Jésus and Lime!

We had a great experience on this food tour with Erik Chong. He was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who shared a lot of interesting information about Beijing, Chinese food culture, and local traditions throughout the evening. The tour had a really relaxed atmosphere and felt more like exploring the city with a group of friends than being on a typical guided tour. There was a great variety of food, drinks, and places we visited. We got to try many different local dishes that we would never have found or ordered on our own, and the selection was well balanced. We have been on many food tours around the world, and this was definitely one of the better ones. We would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and authentic food experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first Untour Food Tour and Xian was an excellent host full of interesting and funny background stories.

Great tour! I learned a lot and tried new things despite having lived in China before and having been pretty adventurous with trying food then. I also better understood Chinese culture better from what our tour guide shared. When I am back in Beijing I hope to do this again and would also like to try some of their other tours.

Had an amazing food tour last night with Untour Beijing. Sian was such a great guide — super patient, passionate, and really thoughtful with everyone’s dietary needs and preferences. Loved how she explained the history behind each dish and showed us around parts of Beijing too. The hand-cut noodles with fresh garlic were unexpectedly one of the highlights of the night. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Beijing. Two thumbs up!

Jesus and Sian were incredible hosts. So knowledgeable and friendly. I loved this tour SO much, would thoroughly recommend it. We had a group of 16 people, and had the best time. Would never have known about some of the treasures we stopped at had it not been for their knowledge and relationships with the vendors. Thank you for the memories!!
