My son and I Had a wonderful private tour of the Hutongs and Drum Tower led by Aaron. Aaron is both knowledgeable and friendly — the 4 hour tour flew by. We finished with a delicious lunch at a famous dumpling shop in the Hutongs. Highly recommend this tour. Be sure to request Aaron as the tour leader.
